A downloadable game

Hey there! This project is a sort-of-accurate recreation of the Super Melee mode from the game Star Control 2 (released in 1992). Unlike the original gamemode, this game is a fully 3D game, with ship models that resemble the original games' sprites. The project is also a LAN multiplayer game, so up to eight people can join from separate devices. Just download and run the server file, and join the server using the hosts' ip adress. Playing across the internet should be possible, although it requires port forwarding and has not been tested. 

Right now the game and the server are built for windows only, and I have no plans for any ports to either Mac or Linux. This project was created in two weeks and isn't really meant to be a full game, so future updates (other than bug fixes) are unlikely as well.

Also, if you haven't played Star Control 2 before, I highly recommend playing it, it's a very well-made game that I really enjoyed playing. There is a campaign mode in the original game that is not in this project, and it is really worth a playthrough.


CONTROLS:

The controls can be viewed in game, but if you really want to see what they are they are as follows:

W - Throttle, makes your ship go forward

Mouse - Turning your ship/camera left, right, up down

LMB - Use your weapon

Space - Use your ability
