2 Days are left before we load our fighters with dangerous arsenal and start to hit each other with guns and missiles. What you already know is the date of the event (23rd/24th of June) what you don't, however, is the hour. We are really sorry for not being able to determine the exact time sooner but we had to collect enough data from the Enlisted FlatPilots to make the best possible decision for every time zone out there.
So let me enlighten you:
Red Flag 2678 starts at 16:00 UTC
Those of you who haven't had the chance or the appetite to enlist to the event and you've changed your mind, you can still subscribe on Flatuniverse.maslasbros.com until this Friday (22nd of June). If not you are still welcome to come around with your friends and say hi on our discord channel, chat with other FlatPilots or play against your friends with the latest features that FlatUniverse will introduce to you on the upcoming version.
Of course, you could always watch the Tournament matches as a spectator.
Furthermore, we are now in the position to announce some more of the upcoming features of the Tournament version of Flat Universe.
- For those who will participate on the event, brace yourselves for the following type of games:
- 1 vs 1. Flying both pilots the same ship.
- Faction 1 vs 1 (Kilrathi vs Confed). The available vs ship pairs will be announced by the FlatUniverse staff at the time of the match.
- team vs team. Flying both teams the same ship.
- Faction team vs team (Kilrathi vs Confed). The available vs ship pairs will be announced by the FlatUniverse staff at the time of the match.
- Crazy Challenges, like catch the fool with the Broadsword etc.
- Spectator mode. As I mentioned before you will have the opportunity to watch every match you desire on the front row as a spectator.
- Public chat will give a stop to loneliness. If you don't have anyone to play Flat Universe against, pass by and make some friends or foes.
- Daedalus station is coming back to life again with interactive animated menus, rooms and consoles.
- Minefields,
- Asteroid fields,
- and last but not least AI GUN Turrets.
We are very excited for this event and we are eager to burn to pieces some familiar faces out there this weekend.

Do you plan to make the spaceship be controlled with the mouse? (At least the aiming, the throttle could be controlled by keyboard)
As a matter of fact, mouse wasn't in our spectrum of input devices but the space-flight module of the game is built in a way that we can implement it very easily.
We'll give it as an option in the next update and you could give feedback to us.
I keep getting killed before I have any chance to see the enemy :( Also turning of the players spaceship is a bit slow.
But as a preview it is fine.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah we know about the difficulty and we are already working at it.
We are going to release monthly updates with changes based on the players' input (and adding new ships and missions of course) while at the mean time we are working on the multiplayer module.
Thanks again!
Guys since we are at testing phase we would appreciate any feedback on gameplay and performance.
Thank you very much!
tried it kept getting killed before i could even see the ones shooting me
Well it is still in alpha and we have done no gameplay balancing yet. We will be releasing monthly updates and at the next update we will adjust the difficulty level.
Thanks for the feedback
Does the demo feature multiplayer?
No not yet. Multiplayer is scheduled for ver 1 and we are starting work on that now.
We are currently in version 0.5. This means you get to taste the game mechanics against some automated turrets in 3 different environments (open space, asteroid field and mine field). You also get to fly 2 different spacecraft (hornet and scimitar).
In the mean time we will make monthly updates with new ships and new systems to fly through.
Any feedback is more than welcome!
Have fun!
Wing Commander AND topdown? Awesome!
