First build- explanations and what to expect


Before we begin, it must be noted that I will probably be releasing builds weekly, or more likely, bi-weekly along with a progress report uploaded to YouTube and linked here.

It will follow a fairly standard format: introduction, list of things that should be in the build, additional notes, other guff, sign off. I hope this will allow for a close relationship between developer and community- healthy for an in development game.

So, all that aside, what will be in the first build, released on the 6/11/17 (I’m British, deal with our sensical date formatting) hopefully? Well I’m glad I asked! Here is what should be in it:

  • finite map of just asteroids and yourself. Size and asteroid density configurable on start

  • a number of different types of asteroids that generate

  • asteroid destruction with your mining beam (it may not stay as a beam so enjoy it while you can!)

  • asteroid collision with your placeholder non-editable totally-not-downloaded-from-the-internet space craft

  • movement (wow!)
    This will allow people to get a slight flavour of the games style, which, will probably change over the next months. Feedback is greatly appreciated and I would love it if you use the discord since it’s empty pls join lol shameless plug I know, but I created it to allow for better communication between developer and community. Of course comments on the games page is still perfectly fine and I will do my best to respond quickly and thoughtfully.

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

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.
