It was a ton of fun working on this project. Let us know what you think in the comments below!
Out of Steam is our take on the #steampunk in #space theme of the jam.
You are tasked with finding a new habitable planet for your species. This will require you to travel among the stars to locate a world to settle on.
During your journey you will need to visit planets to acquire resources such as fuel, food, and ammo. Each visit to a planet will consume 1 fuel and will usually result in an event (good or bad) of some kind that changes your resources.
You will usually need to visit several stars and check each one's planets in order to find a habitable one to settle on. Each trip to a different star will take fuel that can be checked in the ship overview.
Good luck, and remember "Long Live the Queen!"
As soon as you launch the game and hit the play button you will be presented with a narrated story (headphone users be quick on volume as we didn't have time to make all the volume the same) and after that you are on your own to find a habitable planet. It is possible to win and lose, but due to not having enough time for balance both might take a bit to get to. The only way to exit the game is to win/lose and hit edit, or hit close in the upper corner.
Some developer notes/issues
Running out of fuel when traveling between stars will not cause a lose (oversight)
Returning from the ship overview can sometimes trigger an event as if you had just traveled to another star (forgot to clear a variable)
Ship's health is not displayed (once again an oversight)
We are sorry we forgot a way to skip the intro :(
We are in the process of recouping after the demo, but we are talking about polishing and doing a bigger release.
Android build will be coming, but it may differ slightly from the jam version due to UI scaling concerns.
