Dwarf Space: Errand Boy?


While in theory, running around carrying reactor cooling and mead while shooting at aliens sounded awesome, in practice it just isn’t as fun over time as it could be, it becomes tedious and it certainly has nothing to do with ‘commanding’ nuclear reactors in space. And so that’s why I have endeavoured to re-vamp the core gameplay mechanics to bring them more in line with the promises that the title makes as well as make it a more engaging experience overall.

Tommorrow I should get some basic ‘crew AI’ up and running, and then add in the logic to spawn in the crew itself. I’ve already implemented new UI and interactions with the reactors themselves, each one has three levers infront of it, and pulling one increases it’s power output and heat, burning through more cooling but producing more barrels of mead at the still. That’s right, barrels are now finite, they will be loaded onto the transport by the crew (you can/should help), and the transport will come under attack while it’s docked so you should probably protect it from murderous aliens and leave the hauling to the interns.

Crew will come in two flavors; Workers and Soldiers. As the enemy hordes grow it would help to have a little extra fire-power behind the turret defnese to protect all the machinery.

But how will you acquire crew? Stay tuned for future updates to find out! ;)

We are under attack!

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.
