HUD - Initial references

The HUD implies a lot of attention in this game, since we are using Oculus. The HUD is not simply a polygon with graphics in front of the 3D camera. The HUD has to be all 3D objects in the scene in order to fit properly the immersive factor from the Oculus. Here some initial references. This is a dashboard from an ATV. The digital aspect and look is what calls my attention. And the minicamera feedback on the dashboard. The english aircraft "Harrier" is the one that fits greatly to many of our spaceship conditions, since the cockpit also tends to be "bubbely". Sticks out slightly from the body of the plane in order to give more peripherical vision to the pilot. In a way is the sensation of being in a "Batiscafo" or a submarine that goes into the deep ocean.

HUD - more progress

Some other details added to the internal cockpit. Adding the floating machine guns... At some point the spaceship became more solid in the 3D volume and now the cabin frame is also part of the 3D modelling. Now the frame of the cabin appears with the HUD, more integrated. testing also more "holographic" look for the graphics.

Gameplay Ideas

MAIN FOCUS OF THE GAME Hunt interstellar criminals that hide in a planet, asteroid, space ship cementery, etc Ship navigation based on skills, tools, and resource management ENEMIES Groups of small enemies that come fast attack and go away to turn around to attack again, this ones can be fast and damaging, as well as protected on the front but vulnerable in the back side. Mines or traps, for example a mine that will trigger many small rockets to launch to the sky then target the player and approach the player at medium speed, which gives the player the chance to raise top shields and/or start taking them down with Vulcan shots. Groups of small enemies that fallow formations around the players ship, from different angles, and shooting at intervals, for gameplay mechanics: The groups will have different types of enemies that have weaknesses to different weapons, this to have the player use different weapons and managing energy for the use of weapons, maybe some weapo
