When you start playing being a gamdev and decide to implement your own pathfinding solution (because you know, there are not 100 already), instead of making the actual game xD.
I promise having path finding will make sense in the game later.

Random video but with full audio (music too) in this case.
Random note: 1-bit graphics are difficult to read from videos/screenshots but they have some kind of magic. Also, they are easier to assimilate by playing the game (demo available btw).

Ship Miner is a relaxing mining game where you can buy powerful 💥 tech to simplify your task and make it more fun too. I call this one: the ball of destruction 😆

Did some work to have better support for different resolutions (and wide monitors, yes) this week and I ended up adding an optional scale factor. One downside is that you can see more world than with smaller resolution but not a big deal for Ship Miner I believe.

Started to keep track of player stats for each run in Ship Miner to see how bad I am in my own game 😅 (I can easily kill that enemy but had to take the bullet for the video).

It is a retro modern game, a tribute to the games I played as kid and what I imagined while playing.

In Ship Miner there are some Space Stations around asteroids where you can build drones to help with the task of mining and more. This also helps making exploration more rewarding I think.

Maybe sometimes you could get help from other "automated" miners... at least to find bugs in the code... I suppose this "development feature" started to feel like a thing to have in the game xD

Testing some automatic players so I can stress test the game for bugs, but also could be the base for automated miners (for enemies and/or for friendly drones)

Generation visualization is more and more interesting with each step I add.... a bit sad players are not going to see the generator working... (maybe I should add a cheat key for showing this? it breaks the game if you know where things are beforehand but....)
