Hey Supersonic Squadron,

I’ve been working on some exciting new features: from recording replays for PVP to fighting the uncanny valley on behalf of Supersonic Fight’s NPCs (have you ever noticed how little attention is paid to NPCs in sim games?!).

For a change of pace, and to rigorously test these new developments, I swapped the beloved F/A-18 Hornet jets of our actual game for the classic charm of Sopwith Camel biplanes - a nostalgic nod to aviation history. This choice isn't just a whimsical deviation; it's a testament to the freedom and creativity that being a solo developer affords me - the power to blend history with modern gaming tech. Dive into the video below to witness this fusion of past and present. I would love to hear what you think of this!


Not only will the final version of the game feature these magnificent men in their flying machines as a playable option, but it will also include a PVP or team dogfight experience. The video above showcases an intriguing glimpse into this aspect – watch as the planes engage in an intricate aerial ballet, demonstrating the sophisticated flight modeling I've been fine-tuning. What makes this even more special is knowing that every maneuver and aerial dance you see was captured directly from a game-testing session.

Hi, Rich here from Red Chain Games!

I’m excited to show you all the latest trailer for Supersonic Fight - thank you to all those who have wishlisted already. Your support is greatly appreciated and as a small team of two, it’s so exciting to see people pick up what we’re putting down. We’re working hard to make you something really special.

We’ve been getting some regular questions from the community in our Discord[discord.gg] so I thought I would share them here with you too. Let me know in the comments if you have any other questions and I’ll do my best to answer them all.

1. Will I be able to use my Flight Stick with this game? - Yes! Supersonic Flight is Fully HOTAS controller compatible
   
   
2. Can I play in VR? - Absolutely! The game supports SteamVR and is being regularly tested on the Quest 2 headset via Oculus Link. In the future, I would love to explore other platforms so let me know what you would like to play Supersonic Fight on!
   
   
3. Is it Steam Deck verified? - Supersonic Fight runs (a little slowly) on Steam Deck in current testing so we are hopeful that it will be verified by launch next year.
   
   
4. Can I customize my jet? - See the fancy gif below. All liveries can be fully customized and you will be able to share them in Steam Workshop. Here’s a preview of the types of liveries you can make in our in-game editor:

We are planning a playtest in a few months so please join our Discord[discord.gg] to be the first to hear about it, or look out for future steam announcements to sign up.

Cheers!
Rich

(This is the first Dev Blog entry that was posted on our Discord server. Come and join!)

I was working on another project in January 2022 (that project was "secret_vr_project"). I had already created a helicopter flight model which was relatively easy and I wanted to add a fixed wing flight model. "How hard could that be?" - I wondered. As it turns out: really, really, REALLY hard!

I was using an F18 as my placeholder jet and, as I was setting it up, I was reminded of the reason I first wanted an Amiga. Picture the scene - it's 1987 or 1988, I am in the back of my parents car, driving home from Wales. I am flicking through a computer magazine when I stumble upon screenshots for an upcoming game "F/A-18 Interceptor" by Bob Dinnerman:

As someone who had played Commodore 64 games for 4 years (Microprose's F19 Stealth Fighter and Gunship for example), these images were mind-blowing. I had to have this game. So began a relentless plan to convince my parents that I must have a Commodore Amiga 500. By Christmas 1989, my strategy of annoying my parents paid off and, like many others, I received the Commodore Amiga 500 Batman pack. Guess what game happens to be included in that pack?

What can I say? Christmas '89 was the best Christmas ever! (Seriously - it has never been topped.) Like so many others, I flew an F18 around the San Francisco Bay Area, under the Golden Gate Bridge, around the weird shaped thing (which I now know was Sutro Tower - a radio tower) and completed a set of missions, fighting back an unknown enemy. ( I say "unknown"...but this was during the Cold War so we all knew who the enemy was meant to be).

Back to January 2022, I thought to myself: "I wonder if I could re-create the feeling of F/A-18 Interceptor"? ...and here we are!

Join me! it's gonna be a lot of fun!
