Space is big, but not everything has to be industrial sized.
Peddlers between Pulsars is a narrative based RPG where you follow a group of small-time peddlers trying to navigate a world of fees and beings who know way more than they do.

Once a week post.
I've gotta figure out how to use the player feedback on the title since every social network liked a different one.
I've started storyboarding the second draft script and I'd say I'm about 50% through the rewrite.
That might change after I have testers if it crashes and burns.
