Fly Casual Application

By rafcpl6868, in X-Wing

Its x wing. Except its missing most of the upgrades and non generic pilots beyond wave 2. The AI is fine but not great. The AI kills itself by leaving the play area in about 30% of the games and usually takes both focus and Target lock every turn without stress even after performing red maneuvers for some reason so every shot it makes will be very accurate and the game ends up feeling unfair at times. The graphics and sound design are solid. It is a work in progress with updates being added quickly as the developers work to flesh out the missing upgrades, pilots, and actions added as the game went on. Hey, you can fly gunboat before it releases with the app so its nice and fun that way.

Basically: its a cool project. I don't plan on supporting the patreon as I believe it will likely face a copyright strike in the future. But it's neat regardless. Take a crack at it guys.

There have been threads about this before, so I can't take all the blame there.

The AI cheats by taking a free focus before moving, then a target lock after moving because it's using the Heroes of the Aturi Cluster AI rules. That's why the AI is maked as "AI (HOTAC)".

(Comes in thinking this is a discussion about what 'Fly Casual' means in the X-Wing community)

I have information - from what pages my game is visited. You are the first one who posted about this game on official forum. (Second is Azrapse in "S&V 60: Developers Interview with Max Brooke, Frank Brooks and Alex Davy" theme).

Don't you mind if I add your nickname to credits when "Fly Casual" will be closed due to copyright strike ? =)

I apologize in advance for any trouble this post might cause you in the future.

I genuinely appreciate your passion project and was simply trying to expose to others who would be interested in this relatively obscure application to increase its community and fiscal support.

I think that my app anyways will be closed sooner or later... But abscense of mentions on official resources means "later". =)

The benchmark ones are left alone so far. If you stop patreon and don’t allow online PvP, there’s no need for a C&D

I you want, I'll remove the link.
