About Lightspeed
Lightspeed is a collaboration about making a space simulation and combat game. In 2013, Lightspeed managed to make lots of progress in the development of the game. With a team of around 10 members developing the game throughout 1 month, we released a base battle engine, a menu screen, a player creation engine, 3 different ships, 16 planets and more! We took a holiday break but now we're back, and ready to finish this game in 2014!

Thanks for joining! What would you like to join in? Programming, Graphics, Sound or Game Testing? If you want to join in programming, there isn't currently anything to do yet except for thinking of planet names but there will be soon.

I can't check it now because I'm on my iPod and about to go to sleep but I'll check it out tommorow. But judging from the instructions it seems like it will help.

Ok, the programming for the game will be complex. We need 3 different engines.
1. The Ship battling engine, which will be like FTL's combat, and you can move your crew around the ship with WASD or arrow keys.
2. The planet engine. This will have to create a random top-down view planet that the crew can explore.
3. The minigame engines. There will be one for asteroid fields (Like HarryB178's project), one for escaping a sun's solar flares etc.

wbpx9201

Made a Player Creation Engine! Also made a studio!

I did not make any of them myself, but I have permission.

I will still help with graphics though.

What is FTL? I will try to make the planet engine and the ship battling engine.

I'd like to join. I'll be evrything cuz I'm a good programmer, artist, and have software to make music and sounds.

FTL is a game. Faster Than Light, you can search it up and maybe watch a review of it.
