This should be the MVP of the game.

Stage 1:

• Life counter of 4
• Allied Neb-B takes damage from the Victory-II
• Victory-II takes damage from your proton torps/bombs
• When player dies, they respawn as another B-Wing from the Neb-B (reduce life counter by 1)
• Enemy TIE fighters spawn in waves of 3 every minute.
• Add proton torpedos to B-Wing
  • Add weapon switching.
• Smooth the camera behind the BWing - it's glued in place right now

After #1, UI should be added.

I loved the Freespace UI, however this game is a 3rd person space sim and not a 1st person like Freespace so some changes will need to be made. See example screenshots here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/273620/Freespace_2/

TIE Fighters are really hard to see against the blackness of space. This story is just to highlight nearby TIE Fighters

Noticed this after I switched to panorama sky, might be tired to other WorldEnviro properties though.

Currently explosions remove themselves after they aren't emitting anymore, however the particles are supposed to linger after it's done emitting.

An AnimationPlayer or a Tween node needs to be added so that it can remove itself after two or three seconds after it's done emitting because particles don't have any way of knowing when there aren't any drawn particles.

This focuses JUST on B-Wing and TIE-FIghter mechanics. NOT The star destroyer.

Stage 0:

• Make TIE Fighters destroy-able
  • How do they know they've been hit?
• Add laser cannons to BWing
  • Make them burst fire instead of every key press.
• TIEs have simple attack / retreat AI
  • Program in the basic "target, goto combat state" stuff
    • This has some unknown such as how to find all/any rebel fighters. (Perhaps add some decoy B-Wings and see how it does?
  • Program in the "too close, break away state"
  • Program the "far enough away, fly to nearest friendly capital ship"
    • Need to figure out what to do once it gets close to a capital ship - fly around it? How?
• Add WASD/QE controls to the B-Wing
• Add health bar for B-Wing / Game Over screen
• Add basic particle effects
  • Add explosions to dieing TIE Fighters
  • Make red coloured blasts when rebel shots land. Make green coloured blasts when imp shots land.

So like as a menu for this prototype, we could have the BWing be flying endlessly through a rotating blue hyperspace tunnel and once you click "Start Game" it drops you out of hyperspace and into the level.
