[Dev log]Morph Shift Wars + shader

Some months ago, i started the adventure of developing a game with torque3D MIT.
Finally i have something to show you:

From the sky to the deep sea, welcome to the future!
Morph Shift Wars brings sci-fi and dogfights to a totally new experience:
Create your very own shape-shifting vehicle, fly in the highest sky and explore the deepest seas.
You can entirely build the aircraft, from mainframe to wings!

Each piece has its unique behavior and power:
here is not you adapting to the vehicle, is YOU adapting the vehicle to your own flight style to rule them all!

Imagine to be a silent sniper hiding in the sea abyss waiting
for your enemy to pass nearby and engage a frenetic dogfight
then blast him off like an ace!
Well, you can do this!

here a little video:


As you can see, i've done a lot of changes, and i got to thank the whole T3D community for the help given!

I have to admit that making the aircraft roll almost killed me, but works like a charm. :D



A few days ago,i have also started writing a shader to make it look better, and it actually works.
Is nothing complicated, a few lines of code, and essentially a vignette and sepia combination.(wich is pretty similiar to that www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/22474)

#include "shaders/common/postFx/postFx.hlsl"
#include "shaders/common/torque.hlsl"

uniform sampler2D backBuffer : register(S0);

float4 main(PFXVertToPix IN) : COLOR0
{
  float4 color = tex2D(backBuffer, IN.uv0);
  float4 sepia = (1.11,1.03,0.88,0.5);
  float SZ = distance(IN.uv0,float2(0.5,0.45));
  SZ /= 2;
  color.b *= smoothstep(0.46,0.09,SZ);
  color.rg *= smoothstep(0.58,0.06,SZ);
  color *= dot(color,sepia);
  return hdrEncode(color)*3;
 }

It can be really suggestive.


You can also build your own aircraft, in fact there is a special menu called the "Hub" where you can buy wings/skins/weapons.
I'm planning to to a complete restyling of that, anyway this is how it looks now:


This game will be soon released in alphafunding on desura, and i hope that goes well, so i can hire someone to help me.
After all the time i spent in torque3D developing this game i never regret my choice, even if T3D was originally designed for FPS, now you can actually do anything you want with it.


I am also looking for some feedbacks, so if you do, i would be really grateful!

Thanks for reading and sorry for any misspelling!
See you in next dev log!
