Unreal 4 Stuff:
All content made by me except for model and floor textures. All sprite textures are procedurally generated in the Unreal Development Tools. Models were made in 3DS max and DIRECTLY IMPORTED into Unreal. I didn't even UV map them, just modified the smoothing groups and saved them off.
It's based off a crappy 3rd-party Sega Genesis game that came built into the system with 40 games on it. It's called CANNON and it's pretty much just 2 tanks shooting at each other. It's a 2 player game with wind that changes on each round.
The novelty of the Sega Genesis version was the impossibly tiny hitbox per each tank; so much so that I thought the game was broken and didn't register hits. It makes for an epic drinking game - drink if you miss, drink if you're hit, finish if you're dead.
I'm just recreating it because it's truly been an amazing learning experience for these tools. I might try to add AI later on as well.
Basic Level Layout Tank Body, Cannon, Camera, Light, Fog..
Level Code (Blueprint) I know you can't read it all, but you can probably make out the comments.
Camera View and Basic HUD Display
Shot and Effects 20% of the particles emit light, and each one is physically simulated. The cannon ball has a smoke trail.

Can you really code Unreal 4 stuff by stringing a few things together? That's not far from what I've already been doing for SMJ stuff.

The code pieces are called Blueprints. And it's very much like stencyl.I think i heard somewhere that Blueprints run about 5x slower than C++ code, but for prototyping and basic games, that's perfectly fine.
IF you look at the top left corner of the code, in the "Spawn Dummy Balls" comment section. Those spawn actors at locations when a key is pressed. So the keypress calls the "spawn actor at location" function, and then you send it location and actor information.
Pretty much you just drag a line from a command and type out what you want to do. It's so quick to play around and proto a game.
Unreal is a $20 licence though. I subscribed for monthly updates. So that is a negative.
On the other hand, you can just press a button that automatically packages your game into Android and Windows and HTML 5 formats.
The editor supports simultaneous Server and Client simulations so you can test multiplayer features on a single machine.

It looks good but to be perfectly honest, I get the feeling that the only spaceship-y thing about it is stars outside the windows. As for everything else, it could be any building anywhere.

That tile floor and flat walls is giving me X-COM: UFO Defence, no doubt about it.
Otherwise I'll go with Disco. It does look good. Just lacks a little context.
EDIT: Hey, that's an idea; take that map and make it into a disco and I'd pay for that shit.

We're doing WIPs again? Ok wynaut.
I did this http://www.stencyl.com/game/play/28999
Then upgraded it to this http://www.stencyl.com/game/play/29121
EDIT: Then upgrade that to this http://www.stencyl.com/game/play/29129
and I still yet have one more better version. It's so good, I'm not letting anyone see it until you see it in SMJ.

I have a better version that doesn't tickle the OCD as much and is far more practical. Just have to wait until after SMJ Demo 2 comes out.

Structurally making sense is not compulsory (see: Xen) but if you ask me, the rafters in that last screenshot are TINY. Same in the garage: Needs bigger beams or more columns.

That's looking fairly sexy Lajron.
Some experimentation with texture 'blending' in GoldSrc:
It needs 14 separate textures, and it looks like the terrain in Age of Empires, but I think it actually looks alright. The amount of splitting needed to make it shouldn't really matter too much, as terrain will likely be split more than that anyway into tetrahedrons.

I don't doubt it's more flexible than what's normal in GS, but I imagine it grows exponentially with the number of textures you want to use. So it can be a lot of work.
