It Begins


First Post:

First, about the game. It is in space, following the plot of my previous game. I know lots of info to take in :) I want to give players time to finish it before I drop spoilers.

Right now, I am just working on the engine and core systems. I have rock spawning and chunking done. The system behind rock spawning and generation is elegant. More on this topic in another dev log. I also have steering and several items working (smelter, light, O2 tank, storage chests, walls, floors) and the all-important inventory. I will work more on the building system next. Right now, it's super basic, and everything is free to build. I am thinking that when I get that made, I'll post the game build here.

There will be enemies in the future, but that will be after I really polish this game loop up. I feel like this will be one of the main ones. You'll have the main story loop, the explore and mine rock loop, and the build loop (both in bases and rocks), stealth rock combat with a superior enemy. I could go more in depth, but again the spoilers :)

Anyway, here are some screenshots showing some progress. I feel like I am getting better at making systems. It seems slower, though. I only have one hand to work with, after the stroke and all. Maybe that is helping in making me slow down and think more. Still wish I had my other hand, though; it would make programming so much simpler.

This looks great, super excited to try it out! I just (re)started my latest playthrough of Sand, having fun with that as well as always. Sorry to hear about the stroke and being down one hand, that's a serious bummer! But I am so jazzed to see this next project starting up, I'm all in for it! :D

Thanks. Your encouragement keeps me going. I really love this community as a whole.
