Show HN: I made a WWI dogfight game that runs in the browser (gamedev.pl)

2 points by fullstackwife 3d ago ↗ HN

Hello, this is one of my new games, developed with my own custom game engine. A lot of it was enabled by the latest AI models like Opus or Astra, I feel like I can finally express myself without being bogged down in asset work or programming. I hope you enjoy it :)

very cool! Wasn't WWI in black and white though?

I wasn't there, but I'm pretty sure the world had colors prior to the invention of color television in 1953. Again, I wasn't there, so this is merely conjecture.

bw + proper cinematic filter, I'm curious how it will look, I will give it a try over the weekend, thanks! (Claude already suffered a lot working on this game...)

Nice!

But lose the parachutes — fighter pilots didn't wear them in WWI

in my games I try to avoid certain topics (like violence or death), so in case of this one no pilots are getting harmed!

Haha, this is very cool, and fun to play. It can be a bit hard to tell the planes apart for me (I'm colourblind), but not a major difficulty.
