While we are in the midst of implementing World 2 in the game, we have already finished the design of World 3, which includes new mechanics such as neutron beams, darkness/light sources, turrets and more. #gamedev #indiedev #retro #spaceshooter

It’s been a while since we last showed some of the cool technologies you’ll be able to use in Hello Space. But today’s the day! The gravitation core is a powerful tool that lets you move objects like asteroids. Use it to clear the way or transport something from A to B. #indiedev #gamedev #space

In our game, you will find different weapons, one of which - the phaser - lets you shoot projectiles that bounce off different objects. Be prepared to solve puzzles as well as destroy enemies using this weapon. #gamedev #indiedev #spaceshooter

With World 1 being a mining site, it’s only natural that World 2 is a galactic forge. In their relentless effort to crush minerals, the facilities there produce shockwaves that will damage your ship and immobilize it for a short period of time. #gamedev #indiedev #gamemechanics #spaceadventure

Exploring space with a lousy ship drive doesn’t sound like much fun, does it? Well, face off against traps and enemies in the arena to earn upgraded versions of your drive that improve your ship’s agility. #gamedev #indiedev #space #adventure

Besides having four worlds to explore and conquer, there is also the open space that connects them. Within this space lie many points of interest and secrets to uncover, one of which is the arena — a place to fight enemies and earn special rewards. #indiedev #gamedev #retro #spaceadventure

In Hello Space, you will have three different weapons to tackle enemies. Furthermore, each of them will have two possible modifications that you can unlock and use as alternatives. Check out this video showcasing the two mods available for the blaster: shotgun and bounceshot!

We haven't posted updates for quite some time now, as we’ve been working hard on our game Hello Space. Bit by bit, we want to share the cool stuff we've been working on over the coming days. Today, we’re starting with some sketches for World 2! One of four each with their own mechanics to explore.

A while back, we recorded a session where one of us played through a little demo level the other one had created. The original video is much longer, but we did cut it down to the essentials. It's in german.
Don't ask why the facecam is pixelated and the voice distorted. Reasons.

We designed a fresh logo for our game #HelloSpace with the help of a good friend of ours. Thanks "em".
It's pretty simple but we like it very much. What do you think?

Transforming an idea into a real playable thing surely did take some time, but the first world is, in essence, finished, except for the world's boss.
Here you can see the comparison between the sketch and the scene in unity. Boss is still under construction so we put a GGEZ there.

Another enemy appreciation post, because without them the game would be half as much fun, wouldn't it?
Today's star is the "Longhorn". With his ability to quickly get behind the player and his deadly laser he can be a real challenge, especially when surrounded by other enemies.

In #HelloSpace there is more to the game than simply defeating enemies. The level structure is built in a way that requires certain technologies to be used in order to overcome obstacles.
One such technology is the thrust drive that grants a short boost and invulnerability.

Although still in early development, we want to give you a sneak peak of the enemies you one day might encounter in #HelloSpace
Today the simplest one: Code name "Bee"
It just follows the player and periodically shoots once in range. Usually a push-over, but dangerous in numbers.

Our game will consist of several dungeon-like worlds. These are concept sketches of our first world and the boss you will encounter at the end of it.
The world is currently under development and will be playable in a demo we plan to release in the next couple of weeks.
