about 17ish years i’ve been messing around with making things, only prototypes mostly but its fun to make things come to life on screen, it also gives me a creative outlet which i really need, its a great sense of accomplishment when you get something working like an inventory or something, designing i find quite fun too, weighing up different stats and how to make things gamey too.

i’d encourage anyone to give it a go, trying to copy a simple thing you enjoy in a game and work from their, a bit like learning an instrument, find a song or riff you like and try to replicate it and practice :).

Went off a little by myself there heh

[edit]oops i wrote 1ish years

Ice planet pt.1

Hmm. Not sure that quite works for me. I think the surface looks too jagged perhaps? I think that at the scale of a planet, you’re going to want fewer straight lines and such. Google has some nice ideas…

Thanks Teleros :smile:

i should’ve said that its the planet view, it will have an atomsphere over it when in the ship but that still really helps thanks, i wasn’t too sure about some of the jaggies like the one triangle white bit at the top but i’ll iterate and again and again heh :smiley:

Hi!

I’m still here, thanks for asking, the game has taken a little back seat for the time being due to life things but it’s not been forgotten :smile:
I think I’ll open up access to all to give it a go and get some more ideas,

The game doesn’t have many gamey type things in it yet for example there’s only a few things to do and 1 hidden thing and I had thought of turning the combat in to a turn based final fantasy type thing so I spent some time (read: too much time) working on a turn based combat system, I’m not sure how well it would fit but I suppose it would make the game more niche, sort of like a pixel art galak-z mixed with ftl, and combat like final fantasy 7 & 10 & 12 (imagine David Brent melting pot hands) fusion…hybrid baby thing.

Now I’ve descended in to making no sense I’ll stop.
