I've been making a graphics pass recently based on your feedback. I've toned down the reflectiveness and also added some tone variation based on your photo of the original. Also, below are some images of my new splash down graphics :) In other news, the game has just gone into the...

I'll take a look! Is that a re-texture of Rob Conley's Mercury? (estar). Rob is great, we exchange emails now and again when I get stuck on a bit of technical data.

Great picture! It's got a lot more variation in texture that I thought, I'll look at making a specular map for the texture which will give it that slightly brushed look. The capsule is also a tricky one to get right. Some pics make it seem slightly gloss compared to the Matt finish they have...

You don't need VR to play, but I highly recomond VR for any space fan. Not just for my project but some of the other amazing content out there. Apollo VR is fun and I've heard that Eagle Lander £d is getting VR support soon. I know the atlas was very highly polished in reality, although you...

Just a quick post to say my personal project, Go For Launch: Mercury has just... well, launched! It's now on steam as an Early Access title. Still work in progress but plenty to look at for the enthusiast! I'm the sole developer working on this (for the last 2 years!) so progress is slow, but...

If I understood the concern from Keatah it's more to do with having a hard copy without relying on a steam account for re-installing. I may use KSP's method and also have a way to buy and download the installer to be stored/burned by the user. Wow, Munbug... those were the days when I still...

Do you mean so it can be played offline without steam? I'm looking at various outlets for publishing, steam is just the first one to accept the game. I may also do a non DRM release which wouldn't need to go via steam.

No worries, to be honest I'm flattered that my game looks professional enough to look like a corporate enterprise, rather than the space geek project it really is! Hopefully enough people will think $8 is a fair contribution to get the full game (after all A-OK used to retail at $45), it won't...

Apologies if this is considered a necro, but I've got some valid info to add! I'm developing VR cockpits for my own game, and I am building simpit panels for fun. I had wondered if I could combine the two to make a "sit in" mercury capsule for future trade shows and conventions. If you are...

Great thanks, that really helps. I've got any amount of feedback for the VR version (very demanding to keep 90 fps) but very little on the desktop version. ---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ---------- Main post updated for clarity. Huge thanks to all...

I can't 100% remember but I'm pretty sure it's Futura. Futura is pretty close to the Apollo era font. ---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ---------- The reason I have so little time to work on it is I'm focussing on VR cockpits these days :)...

That's really great to hear! What are the specs of the notebook if you don't mind me asking? I'm always keen to get system info to help guage min/recommended specs for the game.

What are the specs of the notebook? To be honest I wouldn't expect a laptop to have the graphics capability for high end gaming. There will be optimised graphics settings on the full release that may get it working on less powerful systems but obviously with much of the settings turned down low...

Orbiter is amazing, and the first game I recommend to people interested in go for launch. The two certainly aren't in competition, orbiter is an open platform designed for modding. GFL: Mercury is a closed platform that focuses on a single space program. Orbiter is fantastic at offering...

Hi all, This might be of some interest to Orbiter fans (particularly classic spaceflight fans). This is a personal project I've been working on for about 6 months now. It's a labour of love as I've gone for a very niche game (it's not going to make Kerbal money, lets face it... you have to be...
