This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Introducing: Asteroids!
In this map, you defend a space station from an endless onslaught of asteroids and enemy ships. This is an early version of the map, and it's only been in development for 6 days or so at this point, so it is a little barebones. I have left the DebugUtils lua library on, as this is map is still in alpha/beta/whatever. I have also left the map open source for now, but strictly for learning purposes. I'd greatly appreciate not circulating your own versions of this map. (edit: just occurred to me that I did use some custom gui functions in this map that I have not yet included in my Extended GUI thread yet, so dm me for those if you want to look around at the map's internals)
All of that being said, I do intend to keep actively developing this map when I can. In the meantime, have fun shooting giant rocks!
Features:
-WASD Movement (with collision) for all player spaceships
-Primary Fire system(press space to fire)
-Asteroid movement system
-Enemy alien ships
-Secondary fire (auto-homing laser turret, manual cast rocket cannon)
-4 stacking ship upgrades + the laser turret from the space station
-Black market for further upgrades/weapons
-Infinitely scaling asteroid size (HP and damage dealt on collision with a ship/the space station are increased with asteroid size)
-Scaling alien ship stats (every 2 for 60 mins after the initial warning message for alien ships)
-A repeating boss fight (stats scale every respawn for 30 respawns)
-Score tracking + gold bounty on asteroids and alien ships
-A custom soundtrack by me! (currently 8 mins long and unfinished)
Planned Features (so far):
-Boss fights
-Black Holes
-Wormholes

I found some planet models in hiveworkshop. Because the movement in outer space makes me disoriented. It would be great if you put it on a map. we will have the feeling of moving between planets.

Played it with some friends, was fun but like only for the first 2-3 minutes. The game gets repetitive and nothing really changes. At some point you can upgrade your fire-rate and rotate in the middle and kill everything in the map as it spawns. It's not really PvP or PvE. The controls are smooth and environment is nice, but I feel like the gameplay is missing a purpose.

Yeah, that’s fair, although I have added enemy ships and a boss fight in recent versions, as well as a range limit on the main gun so you have to keep moving around instead of sitting mid and shooting. I know there’s only like 7 minutes of gameplay total so far, but I do intend to keep adding to it to keep things interesting. Perhaps I jumped the gun on uploading the map to hive, I was just real excited about it

Controls are quite clunky.
Projectile stops after a short while; doesn't quite make sense.
It's easier to destroy meteors by crashing into them than hitting them with the slow delayed laser. Happily, the ship regenerates.
Have to circle around the station to hit asteroids coming from behind it since you can't go through it (under/above).
The idea is nice but poorly executed at the moment.
Approved.

I'm aware that the rotation speed might not be everyone's favorite and added a command to adjust it with, is there anything else you think needs work?
I had projectiles lasting until they reach the map edge but that made for boring gameplay where you could just sit mid and spin your ship in circles while holding down space and just kill everything without actually moving, so I gave them a range of 1800(?)
I've been thinking about how to handle this better, I'd like to have collision with an asteroid not immediately kill it and instead knock the ship and the asteroid back and do a lower amount of damage, but I'm not sure what I want the damage formula to be so I've been holding off on that for now
did you get to the aliens and the boss fight?

Yes, very nice; they are not really trying to destroy the station which is good because it's a pain trying to hit them anyway; they however, hit you more easily. The boss is pretty hard to destroy especially if the saucers are around.did you get to the aliens and the boss fight?
