Love that briefing at 1:09. All briefing officers everywhere should take that as a shining example. “The battle station is heavily shielded. May the Force be with you.” Hahaha! I love it. 🫡
Thank you Juris, you're a big help! I hope one day you will get a VR headset so we can share games and ideas. I'd still love to have some of your assets in my game! Cockpit games are so much better in VR! Thanks again.
That's awesome! I doesn't even mind the retro looks of it, it gives me Rouge Squadron feelings! :D What engine you used? Unity, or you've made your own? Congrats, Great project Dude!
Thanks! Appreciate that. So this incarnation of it uses Unity although I started this way back in the 90's using OpenGL. I never played Rogue Squadron, was that the Gamecube one? this was inspired by the 1983 Atari game and then LucasArts '93 X-Wing game. Thanks.
Played all the X-Wing, B-Wing, TIE Fighter, games back in the DOS days too and happy to say they're on Steam now, along with the re-release of TIE CD and X Wing vs. TIE fighter for anyone that wants to play but doesn't want to mess around with DOSbox. All of those old LucasArts games were great, including Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rebel Assault, Rebellion, etc.
No, you don't need windows. Just a Quest or Quest 2 and an app like SideQuest or any android sideloader. The apk file is on itch.io. just download that to where your sideloader is and upload it onto your VR headset from there.
I tried the asteroid trainer and the battle of tattooine. I ended up in these nauseating spirals with the tie’s, each of us trying to get behind the other. Honestly, not that fun. Thought the mission would be better, but I never left hyperspace and then just got clobbered by a bunch of tie’s
@@knightcode Thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry you didn't find it fun. The nauseating spirals are the TIEs defence strategy. It is their sole aim to not have their attacker behind them. The way to defeat them is to break some distance away and set up a new attack run. Also, by using the clutch and managing your speed you can break out of the pattern you are in and get the turn on them. Also, if the mission starts in hyperspace, you have to press down on the left joypad (reduce thrust) to exit into normal space. Be sure to set auto-targeting in the menu to make combat and targeting easier.
At a guess, this will survive a few more months before LucasArts legal team realizes it exists and sends an cease and desist letter. Given hat the download page asks for donations there may also be a lawsuit even after the program is pulled. I wish it were otherwise, but this rather blantely violates any number of copyrights, and copyright law requires companies to actively protect their copyrights if they don't want to lose them. Too bad, it's obvious that tons of effort has gone into this.
Looking forward to the release.
May the 4th be with you.
I love how you crash into them 1:51
Ramming can be just as effective as shooting.... as long as you have the shields!

Yeah!! I kinda got tired of hearing the same briefing over and over again.
Let's just get on with the carnage shall we.
😂
Too much planning spoils my aim
Flack backs to playing this mission in the original X-wing.
This is awesome! Great job! Keep up the good work!
Thanks buddy! Hope you get a chance to play it.
Not bad, but please clean your windshield!
Hey man! War is a dirty and expensive business and there ain't no extra cash for windshield wipers!
Nice ending Leila scene 😂❤❤
Thanks! Every Star Wars game should have a belly dancing Leia in my humble opinion. 😃

C-3P0 should be doing the Robot.
He is in the final scene isn't he? or have I got the wrong animation.....
Where is this available?
edit..
Oh yeah, in the description, there is a link.. 😂
How do I play? I’m guessing I would still need to get a windows machine….

how much money did they expend on that game ?, I mean... that shitty death start explosion... the briefing scene details... they can do better...
'They' is just one person, and 'they' didn't spend any money on it.
Its a hobby project, produced for free for fans.

Looks somewhat less impressive than the Gamecube version.
?. I never released this on Gamecube, This is just a fan game for VR, not a commercial development.
I think you are comparing apples with oranges.
