Math Combat Challenge will be H.O.T.A.S. compatible. HOTAS is an acronym for “Hands On Throttle And Stick”, and you can find them in modern fighters.
With a HOTAS, you can control your airplane, or here the starship, directly from the HOTAS controls. You can concentrate in the enemy, not in the cockpit instruments.
In fact, almost all the betatesters are fighter pilots, and they don´t use gamepads, but HOTAS. And yes, gamepads will also be compatible of course.
We are now partnering with Logykal, a hardware cockpit builder, to integrate Math Combat Challenge with the starship simulator. We send the motion raw data from the ship to a common memory area, and then the Lince software reads that data, and transform it into motion movement.
The first Windows version of the game will include this feature, and will be available to anyone that owns a Logykal hardware cockpit.
Next May 18 will be a conference in Madrid, in a videogame presentation event, where you will be able to see the main features of Math Combat Challenge, and a small surprise that we will announce soon.
For now, this is one of the rollups that will be part of the presentation. The other is part of the surprise.
“Math is life” is the motto of the game. These are the first three arenas in Math Combat Challenge: Stadium Arena (below), Titan Arena (left), Asteroids Arena (right). The Stadium and the Asteroids arenas will be available when the game is out. The third arena will be available some days later for free.
Starting beta phase now.
The Titan Arena will be the third area in the game. But it also works as the main menu. So you can move to other arenas of the game from here, or start a new combat math challenge right in the main menu.
You want the best weapon. We have it. The Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) is always there when you´re low of energy, lasers and missiles. You´ll never regret to carry one of these in your arsenal. Enjoy!
This is the cockpit in combat mode for the Titan Asteroid Arena. In this mode the radar tracks enemy fighters and other ships, and weapons are completely active, even the Electromagnetic Pulse Missile (EMP).
Math Combat Challenge will be compatible with keyboard & mouse, console pads, TrackIR, and Oculus Rift.
The SCD is intented to avoid enemy starships, or to evade them when in combat. But be careful: the system can be unstable. Don´t try to use it too much, it can be overloaded and then some strange things can happen…
