Step2: Weapons system
Latest version is here: http://www.prototypecorner.tk/LD_V2/ld27.html
I am going to leave every intermediate version on that website, just for the lulz. My way of doing a timelapse, because I tend to not program continuously due to having to also do some household chores (being an adult sux).
Currently I have a system for quickly assembling weapons, and the ship gets a random weapon from the list every 10 seconds. I should be able to easily add more weapons when I have time, having different motion patterns and shooting in various different directions.
Also, I just made an awesome discovery that I will be making use of and would like to share with you guys. There’s this nice spline-based motion controller on the unity wiki:

It’s easy to use and will save me a lot of trouble having to make it myself.
