TL;DR

Jet Scalawag: The King of Shooters is a 3D space shooter inspired by Star Fox, Wing Commander, Tie Fighter, Descent, Freespace and more. Ok I'll say it - Everspace, Chorus, Star Wars Battlefront and Squadrons are also great, but you should check out my game if you believe in the Indie Solo Dev* spirit!

*Well, director/solo programmer is more accurate. I had a lot of help!

(Disclaimer: videos and graphics on this page are pretty old and janky. That trailer especially doesn't make any sense whatsoever, sigh. Its difficult to keep up when, you know, you're working on a video game.)

THE ANCIENT LORE OF YORE

The Space Shooter. One of the earliest video game genres ever made.

A single brave star fighter faces an impossible enemy - a vast, technologically advanced alien armada that is hell-bent on the complete and utter destruction of humanity. The star fighter rushes to meet them head-on, and incredibly, with pure skill and determination, dispatches wave after wave of their ranks.

But who is this star fighter? What makes him so formidable? And what drives him to push past his limits to conquer the unconquerable?

In Jet Scalawag: The King of Shooters, the story is revealed through the star fighter's own eyes. As Jet Scalawag, you will to embark on a warrior's path of self-discovery, break through overwhelming adversity, and ultimately realize one's full potential and place in the universe.

All while kicking some serious alien butt.

JET-FUELED GAMEPLAY

Jet Scalawag: The King of Shooters is a 3D rendition of the space shooters you played of olde. It features visceral in-your-face combat using a variety of weapons familiar to the genre.

Featuring an epic storyline and a campaign that responds to your decisions, Jet Scalawag is all about action and dogfighting.

There is no asteroid mining, base building or peaceful space exploration. You gather resources, but only that which you pry from the quivering remains of your smoldering enemies.

Instead, you will do battle in a large variety of exotic environments: from space nebulae to asteroid fields, from planetary atmospheres to the depths of prehistoric oceans. There will be time travel and journeys to microscopic and even subatomic realms. There will be much to see, many whimsical surprises await!

Jet Scalawag will grow stronger as he progresses through the missions, and acquire new weapons and even new forms to face his foes. Will you be able to activate his Final Superweapon™??

(Hint: The Kali Nova superweapon below is NOT it!)

KILLER KONTROLS

Inertia? Physics?? Jet Scalawag moves when he likes, turns how he likes, and shoots down what he likes, physics be DARNED, dagnabbit! You can always put a dampener on controls via the options menu, but where's the fun in that?

Go fast and furious, without limits, without guilt. Use every weapon at your disposal to land killer kombos, I mean combos, on your enemies. Your mind and your ship are ONE.

The game can currently be played using an Xinput compatible controller, or a mouse+keyboard (currently has the best accuracy, but no surprises there).

Will be testing with a variety of input devices, flightsticks, hotas, etc. even eyetrackers, as soon as I can get my hands on them.

A SCALAWAG'S PLEDGE

• This game (and all my future games) will NEVER support NFTs or microtransactions/DLCs that are predatory in nature. I may release freebies, but NEVER in the F2P/P2W framework
  
• I will continue to polish and add to the base game over the years, creating new environments, new enemies, new weapons and new features
  
• I will have DLC expansion packs, but only with substantially new content. I may offer cosmetic DLCs, but these will be purely optional and not P2W
  
• I have planned spin-offs in the Jet Scalawag franchise in these genres: combat racing, 2D shmup, fighting (versus), beat 'em up/slasher, RTS , RPG and visual novel (well maybe not visual novel)
  
• If I can get my hands on some development hardware, I will make versions on other platforms: Playstation, Xbox, Switch, Linux, Mac. Will also ensure Steam Deck compatibility
  
• I also intend to create scaled-down versions for mobile (Android and iPhone) using Godot. Smart TVs are a possible candidate, but off the table are smart fridges, toasters, microwaves, vehicle dashboards, etc. (yes, Doom is great)
  
• I intend to support some form of network play in the future: coop, deathmatch and a take on capture-the-flag. Hopefully, with cross-play on the systems listed above
  
• I also intend to support more exotic hardware setups in the future: flightsticks and hotas, eyetrackers, VR, multiple monitors and cockpit simulators. See you in the future!!!
