What is this black magic?

Almost there! Just need a way to build trains to connect mines and power stations… just kidding, amazing work!

I’m 15 years in. The ‘Wait, what?’ Doesn’t go away

Everytime I see your project I'm like: This looks so much fun to work on.

But then again, nothing is set in stone yet. This is all a learning project for me. I'm a webdev by trade, and my main focus now is to make something playable which isn't a tutorial :)

The main game loop idea is that you fly your ship from dock to dock. After you land you plan your route to the next dock, a map will reveal several options. Obviously there will be rewards big or small depending on how far/dangerous the route is that you're gonna pick.

We don’t do bugs here, only happy features 🖌️

Very inspiring

I'm not a bird guy, but I might become one. Also pixeling those birds must be very meditative.

Haha looks great! This is one of those features, that when testing productivity goes out the window. It'll take up the rest of the day just "testing".

Has a lucasarts point n click vibe! Am I close?

I love this kind of approach. Tutorials should be a last resort imho. Learn by actually playing the game.

Having multiple floors to explore does sound nice indeed. Also I don’t think it looks that bad or weird actually like you said. It is hard to see if there are multiple floors though.

Don’t give up yet, I think you could make this work if the second layer has smaller or more narrow elements so that there is less overlap. From this restriction comes a purpose too, like a shield battery, Weapon module, stealth module…

Now it just needs a Draracle

Wish listed it right away!

This looks polished af!
December 14, 2024 at 8:12 PM
Yes! So much yes! Sometimes I say: you know this is a nice game, it could be better though, if it had goblins instead of birds/trains/soldiers/…
