SquadronLeader VS shapez.io

I discovered the game a good while ago, while doing research on my own WW1 air combat themed board game, but as that game had to be put on a bit of a back burner, and Squadron Leader was on my mind for all this time ( I kept on scribbling ideas for rules changes and expansions), I decided to give it a spin. I got couple different color fillament spools and was getting ready to get to printing the components only to find out that I'll have to move soon. I really shouldn't be starting any bigger printing projects until I'm settled in the new place. So it looks like I won't make my own copy for few more weeks, but that didn't stop me from thinking of how I can help with the project. Then I've seen a request for some 3d plane models for the game and as it's something I could actually help with, I started tinkering.

I know this sub is far from active, but after posting on the project's github and not getting any response, I thought I would give it a try here. I would love to contribute to the project by making it a bit more visually appealing (also, making my own fork/version of the game, but that's a story for another time).

If you have access to a 3d-printe you may be interested in this game that is also linked from that bgg guild: https://github.com/Wollivan/SquadronLeader It has its own subreddit too: /r/SquadronLeader/

Everybody's welcome to brainstorm here: https://github.com/Wollivan/SquadronLeader/discussions/67

You can pay for FOSS software. I do it to support FOSS developers and maintainers.

software example: Krita https://store.steampowered.com/app/280680/Krita/ source code https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita

game example: Shapez https://store.steampowered.com/app/1318690/shapez/ https://github.com/tobspr-games/shapez.io

Shapez.io is sold Steam but the source code and build instructions are on github: https://github.com/tobspr-games/shapez.io

It's been free on github the whole time 😝

It's free on github too :P

apparently the instructions from github are outdated or something

I have experience in releasing an Capture Note made with Electron and there are some annoying processes, but it is possible without as much difficulty as I thought. From what I know, there are also games that have been released. Try looking for "Danger Crew" or Shapez. Shapez is open source, so it may be more helpful.

It's possible that this is a bug in how I've built the local version, or that the local version is only a demo. So I have filed https://github.com/tobspr-games/shapez.io/issues/1500 to see if that's the case.

Pretty sure shapez.io is an Electron app, and that's on Steam.

Hmm, like Thrive and Shapez.io?
