Welcome Page

Greetings! Welcome to the main hub for testing Carbon Combat. I would like to personally thank the current game testers who are spending a tremendous amount of their time testing and helping me with the creation of this game. If you would like to become a recognized tester here at Carbon Combat, feel free to contact me at admin@carbontechsoftware.com.

Secure Server-Side Login

Hello, I finally got around to setting up a MySQL database along with a PHPMyAdmin account. I must say, it works like a charm. Basically, I created a simple registration/login test where you can create accounts and log in to them using your password. All passwords are encrypted and sent securely to the SQL database. Enjoy!

By the way, be sure to check the log often - I will be updating it a lot in the coming days.

To-Do Spreadsheet (Google Docs)

Hello everyone! I know it has been a while since there have been any major official updates. Right now I am working on the login and registration for Carbon Combat and a lot of behind the scenes stuff. I recently created this spread sheet on Google Docs so that you can see what I am in the process of completing.

Thanks again for all the support and interest in this game!

Major Update #2 - Team vs. Team Battles!

Hello everyone! I am proud to announce Carbon Combat version 1.4.0. This version includes a lot of things promised in the previous "major update" and much, much more. The largest feature is the Team vs. Team battles that I just created. This is the first version of the team battles, so I'm still adding more features onto it (such as a list of who is on what team on startup). Below is a version change-log and the newest installment of my "Carbon Combat Promotional Poster". Enjoy!

[Edit] If you decide to test Carbon Combat independently and encounter a bug, be sure to use my new Bug Reporter form! You can access it in the game by clicking the "report bug" button in the main menu.

Below is what was added in this version:

- New red vs. blue team battles
- Completely fixed networking problems - 100% success rate
- New private server that hosts the Unity resource file for Carbon Combat
- New player badges with player health and name - increased viewing distance
- New private player chat and team chat

- Fixed re-spawning problem
- Vastly improved hover/flying mode - much easier to control
- New in-game terrain scene (after the world loads)
- Random re-spawn angle in base

- Login window saves player name as a preference
- Zoom-outable minimap (2x zoom maximum)
- Improved gun controller - less jittery

and more...

- Vehicle upgrades
