Sky Rogue - Arcady Dogfighting Fun.
« on: September 09, 2014, 03:13:17 am »


Ok, so time to introduce something fun. This is Sky Rogue, I guess you could call it the Rogue Like of Air Sims. With one life you have to survive and take out the command station while taking down drones that come to take you down and other SAM and AA Turrets located around some buildings on the randomly generated isles that you fight over...

Taking off from your Sky Carrier. You fly one of the 5 released craft with loadouts that can be customised and upgraded if you can take down a few craft/buildings to earn the scrap needed to upgrade. But as said before, only one craft and thats it for that run. No upgrading between death. The interesting thing is that no 2 battles are the same, you could be swarmed by Drones or you could face a ton more SAM sites then last round, or both. Making your choice of how to tackle each area different and challenging...

But how do you get it? Well its a Pay what you Want dealio, sure you can be stingy or if your broke and grab it for free or you can pay any amount you feel that the game is worth, heck try then pay, its up to you...

Come towards the carrier or landport (I think you can capture them by taking out the turrets around them), make sure your coming towards it from the opposite direction of the arrow on it, slow to practically standstill and float over it low, you will land then...

I feel sad when I make posts about good games and no one really posts in them... T_T
A Spammer comes in with his "Brand New" Game and he gets like 30 posts in under an hour... T_T

Hehheheh, it's not a popularity contest! :)

I guess for me it's just that I'm not into more arcadey games that much, which this appears to be? I dunno...

The video reminds me a lot of the excellent YSFlight with its visual design (though with more elaborated effects)

I like this. A lot.

It would definitely be better with a controller, though.

Controller is already  good  to go. Disconnect and reconnect...

Alpha. I'll wait.
Still pretty good alpha...

I like the game. The graphics really get me going for some reason.

On bay12, a poll option of basically 'nuke the world' named 'Apocalypse Hitler' is like asking an alcoholic if they want some whiskey.

Creator does have a day job, and this is simply a side project, so it could be quite a while before we see it out of alpha.

It seems like the rockets are just so much better than  bombs it's ridiculous. Or I'm not using them right.

I want to like this but without a controller or a joystick this is nigh unplayable. And I don't have either :C
