This project was started very last minute, due to the jam’s coinciding with finals; everything available in-game now was done in a day. So I’m going to give a quick rundown right here.
Controls
Move - wasd or arrow keys
Interact - E (it’ll show a message when you are able to interact with something, but when it comes to certain tasks such as selecting targets for robots to follow, it won’t say. As long as the beacon appears, pressing E will select the target).
Things to know:
The Mizkin Adaptive Domicile you see in-game serves as your chest and home. It is where the robots will drop off gathered materials and where they go when you tell them to go home.
Current Rocket Man Status
Unfortunately, there is not much to do in-game just yet, besides playing around with the two robot. Bugs not withstanding, players should at least be able to give the robots commands, send them to only gather rocks, and organize your inventory which is basically just playing with your rock collection. Besides that, not much else to do besides run around the planet and admire the stars and scenery. Thought it didn’t hurt to still upload it for dream hack.
Future Rocket Man Status
I really enjoyed making this game for the game jam; a lot more came from it than I expected design-wise. Obviously, not features (yet). I can see myself coming back to it in the future, and may add a few updates post-jam, whether it somehow makes finals or not. If you like the concept, let me know. Player interest will be a huge factor on if I pursue this or not. :)
