Oarc's Space Delivery Service

A miniature 3D space game with realistic orbital physics, where you learn to fly and help make some deliveries.

If you like games like KSP (or find KSP too difficult but still like the idea of space flight) give this a try! Comment here, or add me on discord if you have questions or feedback. (Oarc#8695)

CONTROLS:

• Ship Controls
  • Space bar for thrust
    
  • Mouse controls (easier):
    • Left click and drag to orient ship
      
  • Keyboard controls (more advanced, KSP-like navball):
    • WASD to control ship direction
    • QE for roll
  • Press R to toggle between cardinal and orbital controls.
    • Cardinal (north/south/east/west) is useful when you're taking off from a planet. Orbital is useful most of the other times you are flying.
  • Click on the UI buttons to lock on to a particular orbital vector (see images). Press ESC to view the legend in the pause menu to understand what the icons mean.

• General Controls
  • Enter key to enter/exit ship and other context actions (delivery packages by hand, interact with people, etc.)
  • Camera Controls
    • Hold Right Button + Mouse Move to rotate camera
    • Scroll wheel for zoom
    • H to focus the camera back on your ship
      
  • Target Controls
    • Shift + Left Button to select target
      • Select planets/objects to provide a target icon.
      • Select anywhere to clear.
    • Alt + Left Button to change camera target

• Package Launching (when you're in the ship)
  • TAB switches to turret camera for launching packages
    • Press and hold left mouse to launch packages
    • ESC returns from package camera to ship camera OR takes you to the pause menu.

• Maneuver Node Creation
  • First, pause the game (click the pause UI button at the top of the screen).
  • Then hover the mouse over any of the ship's predicted path lines to place a maneuver node.
  • Click on the icon to edit the maneuver node.

Steam Deck Support

I added Steam Deck "support" for fun for myself. In the process, I was able to map most of the controls to a standard gamepad. There are still a lot of features in the game that require a mouse to click on UI elements, so you can't just play with only a gamepad, but it does make controlling the ship a bit more fun!

The Steam Deck lets you easily use one of the track pads as a mouse. I used the standard layout "Gamepad with Mouse Trackpad" and set the trackpad click to left mouse click.

• Gamepad Controls List:
  • A - Interact / Enter Ship / Exit Ship / Advance Dialog
  • X - Package Launcher Turret Camera
  • B - Fire Package
  • Start - Pause Menu
  • Right Trigger - Thrust
  • Left Trigger - Toggle Cardinal-Orbital Controls
  • Left/Right Shoulders - Face Normal/Anti-Normal or Rotate Ship (QE equivalent)
  • Left Joystick - Walk / Orient Ship
  • Right Joystick - Rotate Camera
  • Right Joystick Click - Focus On Ship
  • D-Pad North/South - Camera Zoom
  • D-Pad East/West - Modifier Keys (selecting targets / changing camera target / maneuver node editing modifiers)
