![Asteroid - ES Finished?](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-51733.jpg)
I'm thinking Asteroid - ES is for the most part finished. I added enemy ship flybys, power ups, joystick controls, and fixed the bug where asteroids spawn too close to the player.
I'll be submitting feedback requests sometime tomorrow, then I have to put together a good Freeware license agreement. …

I'm working on adding joystick controls to my asteroids game, but right now the ship spins out of control.

![Content Packs for Space Games](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-51733.jpg)
I'm not sure if there are any content packs for space games out there. I started a thread in hopes to find out, but no one has replied with the name of a pack yet.
![New Controls For Epoch Star?](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-51733.jpg)
I'm considering re-doing the controls for Epoch Star to have it work more like the controls in Star Control 2. It will most likely be the same control scheme I used for Asteroid ES. This weekend I think I will add joystick controls to Asteroid ES and add more content to that game to further test …

My brother started an Epoch Star Bug Blog to track bugs he finds and suggestions he has while playing Epoch Star
![Epoch Star v0.55.01](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-51733.jpg)
I put out Epoch Star v0.55.01 on GDS and my web site last night. This version contains some resource management bug fixes I found when creating Asteroid ES, as well as pop-up descriptions of the crew stats.

I created Asteroid ES to test the flexability and stability of the game engine I wrote for Epoch Star. My goal with to pull together a feature rich Asteroids game on a Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately (or fortunately), creating this game exposed several bugs in my Engine, so I ran out of time an…
![Ugghhhhh....](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-51733.jpg)
Ok, I thought it would take a few hours to whip together a simple Asteroids game out of my existing engine. It ended up taking me most of the day, and I don't really have much more than a vanilla Asteroids game. [sad]
Oh well, I found a few bugs in my engine while doing it. I'll drop it out on GDS…

I'd really like to know if Paint Shop Pro has any mechanism for performing addative blending between different layers.

![Ailments and Bonuses](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-51733.jpg)
My game engine currently supports ailments and bonuses. For instance when one travel's through a nebula, they pick up an ailment which may do a variety of things. Typically the ailment a nebula gives you is slow. The problem I have right now is I don't have any visual or audible cues to indicate…

Here's a thread I started on the screen shot dump idea proposed by Staaf. There are some code examples in there I will need to try out in my engine.
![Taking to Wings 3D.](http://www.epochstar.com/game-pics/wings3d.jpg)
Not that I have a problem with TrueSpace as a modeler. It just seems to take a little while to get a ship started. Wings 3D is a free modeler that was recomended to me a while back, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. For simpler things, it gets the job done pretty quickly.

Here's a thread on Indie Gamer where a guy is offering to post games on his web site. I thought it sounded interesting.

I just put version 0.54.01 of Epoch Star out on GDS and my Web Site. I primariliy made artwork changes for this version. It is 20MB now... I believe the last version was 15 or so. I'm going to need to work to keep that lower.
