GigaSun Jet
by Jonny D


Your ship blazes past your rival, leaving a trail of bullets that rip through his deflector shields.  In an instant, his ship appears out of nowhere to cut off your escape as he launches a salvo of Rebel Missiles.  You quickly slam on the booster controls, dodging a pair of them.  As you drift across the deep void of space, you switch off your reactor and watch as the remaining missiles fly off into the distance, blind to your presence.  Your attention turns back to your enemy as you flip open the safety on your secret weapon.  He would be searching for you just as blindly as the missiles... and he won't see this coming...

GSJ Titlescreen

In GigaSun Jet, you customize and control your own spaceship as you and up to three other players race through a variety of star systems, destroying enemies, earning credits, and upgrading your various components.  Take your entourage onto the net for a battle of as many players as your computer can handle.  Choose from an unlimited variety of each of the 12 component types to fill your ship with the best equipment.  Activate outrageous special abilities to gain the upper hand.  Raise your rank through your successful missions and earn every credit.  You can even use the included Mission Editor to create your own levels and campaigns to share with your friends.  Play alternate game modes like soccer and capture the flag.

Development Notes 8-1-08:

The Level Editor is released!  See the table below for details.

Progress on the networking part of the game has stalled a bit due to some code not working as it should.
I'll figure it out soon enough and get that back on track.

Currently working on:

GigaSun Jet is developed by a single guy.  It's gonna take quite a while before the demo gets out.
I'm slowly updating all the graphics before releasing a demo, so it'll look more like a modern game.

You can find a nice, friendly version of the libraries I'm using to take your games online in the SDL Projects page.
