Focused Prototype for flight dynamics

NickCuthbert

For our final university game project, we are making an assymetrical multiplayer game, which pits a force of outsourced drones against a ragtag group of geurilla fighters.

I'm busy working on the control scheme for the drone faction; the problem is that I am a sucker for punishment. I've linked to a build of a prototype I created to test flight dynamics. I'd really appreciate some constructive input about how best to improve the feels.

You'll need an Xbox controller to play the build. The goal in this prototype is to shoot all the prisms, and then fly through them, before finally landing on the platform.




Controls are:
LT: apply thrust
Left Analogue stick:
X-Axis: Yaw
Y-Axis: Pitch
Right Analogue stick:
X-Axis: Roll
Right Bumper: Fire
Back: Switch Camera Mode [1st, 3rd, Orbit(please don't ask me why)]


Builds:
Windows
Mac OSX

I'm really interested in this, as I've tried making a flight prototype before and found it very difficult to (1) get it feeling good, (2) get the camera not to derp around when you're doing stuff like rolling and various other tricks, and (3) have something interesting to do.

I tried this with my PS4 controller with InputMapper as an emulator (I do this with all of my games; in pretends to be XInput and most games pick it up as a 360 controller, so I figured I'd give it a try), but I couldn't get it working at all. It kept rolling even with neutral input, and the same button that does thrust also changed the camera mode. I tried remapping them in the Unity startup menu thing, but it still derped around. Oh well. :(

Thanks for trying, @Elyaradine. I'll see if I can fix the controls. This proto was a bit of a rush job: ~2 days
