At Skies' Edge

At Skies' Edge is an arcade flight action game in the vein of Ace Combat, HAWX and Project Wingman. I made it after watching Top Gun 2.

 It features a range of aircraft, weapons and missions, an arcade flight model extended from Lunetis's very solid Operation Maverick / Operation Zero, and a few missions that demonstrate the core mechanics.  A controller is highly recommended to play this game.

I need to stress that this is still a personal project I'm working on in my free time, and my first attempt at programming an actual game, rather than a learning project.  I have no guarantee that I have the skills or resources to fully expand ASE into something that I would be happy to call an actual product (say, with better production values and actual content), but I am trying my very best.

Want to see more regular updates? Please follow my X/Twitter account. 

I am also collecting feedback on the latest demo! Please feel free to fill out the gameplay survey after you give it a go.

FAQ:

• Will this be developed further? Are you open to ideas/help?
  • While I'm planning to keep updating ASE, I'm hitting the limit of my current skillset and undergoing heavy R&D. I'm also investing some of my personal funds and time into the project, so hopefully we see it grow more as time progresses.
• My game is stuck on the main menu/goes straight to the survey at the top of the page!
  • This bug is normally caused by a HOTAS or other peripheral connected to the game which is overriding any and all input. Try running the game with only a keyboard, mouse and gamepad plugged in. 
• Is there a controls listing or tutorial?
  • Unfortunately as of build v0.11a, I'm running into issues with input icons and I've turned off the tutorial as it was getting very confusing for playtesters. Please refer to the controls listing in the main menu, as well as the flight instructions contained in the pause menu for more information.
• How do I enter supermaneuverability mode?
  • Supermaneuverabilty is limited to the I-29 at the moment. Double tap and hold the brake button.  The throttle mode under the speedometer will change to 'SUPERM'.  Keep an eye on your altitude and airspeed!
