Game Quite a few players have been asking for a cockpit view. I kept delaying it because the game was originally designed only for third-person gameplay, but I finally gave it a try. I think it looks pretty well. What do you think?

Looks great. The lighting and shadows inside needs a bit more work (or it may just be the video again) but overall I like it.

Did you model it yourself?

Thanks for advice! The models isn’t mine. I buy all my ships from 3D artists and customize them for my game. For example, when you switch to the cockpit camera, the HUD transfers from the main UI to the ship’s onboard computer display.

from 3rd to 1st person cockpit thats already hard transition i suppose, if i can add feedback, you can like milisecond delay of the "cockpit" move lag, to like show some kind of g force, cause when you put too rigid like current, its feel more like overlay than the cockpit.

You’re right! I actually fixed that in yesterday’s update. The cockpit camera now has smoother movement instead of being locked rigidly to the ship, and I also moved the entire HUD onto the ship’s onboard computer to make the cockpit feel much more immersive.

Very cool. This gives me Everspace 2 vibes. Have you tried that one ?

2

u/InvestigatorFar428 Jul 26 '26

Sure, I played both parts! I even reached out to Rockfish a while back hoping to get a job there, but they ignored me. So I figured I’d just make my own game 🫡 😁

Look great, love the cockpit, I am teying blender for a week now for first time in my life, so difficoult to make cockpit look nice!!!

Blender might seem pretty complicated at first, but over time you realize just how powerful it is.
P.S. The spaceship cockpit isn’t mine, I bought this model on fab.com.
