Project BROKEN SHARD V2.48

This plane doesn't really have a story, I made it in 2024 when I decided I wanted to make a "Magnum Opus." Its a 4th gen coffin system aircraft with an AI system built into it, the reason I stopped working on it is because I wanted to do stuff I just couldn't, because I didnt have the experience, or the game just couldn't handle it.

The AI had a female voice in the lore, think like Cortana in Halo:

"Good morning, Captain John Doe and Leutenant Jane Doe, in case you forgot your briefing last night, I have a playback of it stored, I'll put it on while I begin my startup and taxi procedure, and we'll be up in the air in no time!"

-Briefing playback is played as the plane powers itself on and begins its autonomous taxi-

-After playback completes and the plane is closing on the Runway:

"I hope both of you are informed, as we approach the Runway, I'm gonna start pumping your oxygen masks with Nitrous Oxide to help you fall asleep faster, I wish both of you luck, fly safe, and uhh- try to keep me in one piece..."

Notes:

• Play around with the controls, I want you to really see what I wanted to do with it.

• I can't convey to you how much I want to do this, when I made this plane, and its coffin canopy, I wanted the canopy to have a way to "turn off" or de-activate, and I wanted to do it using animated labels, but i just didnt know how to do it, the effect seen in the Low Earth Orbiter by ASBE is exactly what I wanted, but i just dont know how to copy it, I dont know FT.

• I wanted to do more with the cockpit too, screens that light up with all kinds of lore implicated information, the screens on the sides in particular wouldn't do anything, but they would display info about the pilots body and brain synapses, but since it required so many labels, the game struggled, so they had to be removed.

Fig. 2 The cockpit before, Note the design on the display looked more like the B-1 Lancer

• I had made my own engines for the plane but had to simplify them because of hardware limitations.

•This plane has lore, but it never really went anywhere

Note how I forgot to redacted some things, this was the first 'faux government document' I had ever made.

If i get around to it, I will definitely make this again on SP2 if and when it comes out on mobile. Hopefully the game will run better, so I can do more with it that I could ever dream of doing here.

That being said I hope you all enjoy the Hopeless Shard project, have fun, and fly safe!
