Another #gamejam submission down!

Meet STARDRINKER, a spacey strategy game made by someone who hasn't made a strategy game before.

Strip a star of its rare resources, but push too hard and the star just might push back.

🎨I went very hard with this one! You can read it here:

Meme template where the top frame is captioned, "Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture." Two images are held up side by side. On the left is a series of sports with cute graphics representing them. On the right is a series of deities in an original fantasy pantheon, and characters in the protagonist's party, with angular and simplistic shapes representing them. On the bottom of the meme template is a woman in a pink blazer, who says with an uncomfortable but straight and serious face, "They're the same picture." A working logo for the dark fantasy and horror visual novel "Catalyst: Blind Faith." The subtext says "DEVLOG." Grayscale art on the top row shows three main characters. From left to right: A female elf with a sly expression, asymmetric hair, many piercings, and long ears side-eyeing the player; a disheveled and heavily scarred young man, clutching at his head while he stares directly at the viewer; and a bubbly woman in profile view with an unnaturally broad grin and very poofy hair. The bottom row has five sketches of different male body types, all at the same height. These are illustrative of the protagonist, whose appearance can radically change based on the player's choices. From left to right: An emaciated figure in a fighting stance, fists before his face; a slender and broad-shouldered figure in a front-facing and stiff pose; a muscular figure, looking relaxed and confident as he glances over his shoulder; a husky male figure, partially drawn, as some of the right arm is incomplete; and a very heavyset male figure, standing in a similar distant and neutral pose as the slim figure.

Thank you to everyone who played and rated Prisma, my submission to Mini Jam 179. I've learned so much and cannot wait for my next jam!

I published an update today which includes balance/difficulty tuning. It should be a bit easier now :)

One thing I'd highly recommend as a micro-indie dev is to foster a support group around you.

Just submitted my project for #minijam 179!

I created a shmup where you pick up motes from fallen enemies to restore your own energy and alter your ship's color, which affects your stats.
