i found the little yellow thing in that room and i was expecting it to enable the elevator but no luck.. what am i missing?

behind the "restricted door" you will find another door that leads to the cockpit

I tried to open another door with Restricted title in it and didn't open. I assumed all "restricted" doors would have the same fate.

Some people are more comfortable with mouse inversion, that is also my case; I read years ago somewhere that it is subjective and depends on how we "see" the scene in our brain, like 1st person or projected 3rd person (or something similar, don't take my words to the letter) anyway the number of people that would find games without mouse inversion next to unplayable is very high, therefore adding the option makes sen…

i always thought it was people of a certain age who required inversion (i include myself here) because the first 3d games were flight sims, so pulling back on stick/down goes up etc.

I've never really played a flight sim, but I can't get my head into non-inverted. Maybe if I spent a dozen hours, I could do it, but why would I?

I can't wait 2500 years, are there hibernation pods anywhere on the ship?

I played 3D games back in the days of Quake and Duke Nukem 3D and have never had a "move mouse down and view goes up" Joystick sure, but the last joystick I had was a 15 pin DIN

Here's the `invert mouse` setting from Quake2[1], though, I know for certain that Duke3D and Doom had the same option. I feel like every FPS I've ever played has had it as an option. Now, to be judgemental, anyone who enables the invert option is an obvious psychopath. Although, to be fair, everyone thinks I'm a psychopath for using Mouse2 for Forward.

Doom didn't, since it didn't support looking up and down.

very cool! it delayed me getting out of bed for 15 minutes. worked great on android phone. great atmosphere music graphics and sense of humour. is 3js the only technology you all used to make this?

Thanks for the feedback! We used the Three.js WebGL library and a custom-built game engine for the various interactions, pathfinding and game logic. We modeled the scenes in Blender and SideFX Houdini, and also baked lightmaps with Blender.

Awewome thx for the info. Its inspiring.

Played on Chrome on my Android phone in portrait mode, and the whole game I felt it was too zoomed in. I was suspicious of that AI the whole time. Like, did it get sent into this asteroid field on purpose to destroy it because it was a threat? Were there other unconscious passengers locked in those rooms and if I died following some risky instruction would it simply wake the next one up? How could it practically see…

Lots of great projects. How can I experience TRACK in VR? I opened the site in my Quest 3 browser but it says webvr not supported.

About TRACK, sorry, the experience was released in 2018 and we need to update it so that it works with the WebXR API.

Ah! Ok, thanks for the reply!

Really impressive, congratulations. How many hours of TLC went into building this?

Running firefox + linux. Mouse works fine in mouse only mode, in gamer/keyboard+mouse, the mouse is out of control. Often, moving the mouse in any direction, moves the mouse continuously left (for example). Other times, the tiniest twitch moves the screen in crazy flying loops.

Tried the speed setting down to 10, barely made a difference.

Not sure if other FF users are experiencing the same thing?

edit:

Just finished it... Good game! I hope you expand it, because you've definitely got something fun here.

Doom didn't, since it didn't support looking up and down.

"Shearing" was added for up-down look in Heretic, for the non-Doom engine descendants Duke Nukem 3D and Rise of The Triad supported it as well. I don't remember if it could be bound to mouse movement in any of these games.
