Change is a force to be reconed with

Now, that’s a release-worthy amount of goodies.

The game has the potential for way, way more before it exhausts its potential. I need to dose upcoming features appropriately on the pain of overwhelming myself into burnout.

Surprisingly, a some form of multiplayer is much closer now. It just needs a separate game scene and appropriate camera controls. This would do for a neat tutorial even.

I’m really itching now for a networked multiplayer, but have to do bot brains first. Anyway, with Steam Remote Play Together the local is also a networked.

Things stuck out from the roadmap:

• Mouse controls
• Taking mass into account

Extra things that weren’t on the menu:

• Multiple control schemes
• Ship UI
• New ship hull
• Bots trade and dump cargo
• Nice planet shade

The good stuff still left to do:

• Bots doing something sane
• Consumables
• Market panel
• Collisions
• Tutorial scene
• “Experiment” scenes (interactive visualizations)
• Race scene
• Catching the containers
• Tractor beam effects
• Intro sequence
• Outro sequence
• Sound effects and music? IDK
• Multiple systems to visit and find elusive stuff
• Multiplayer?!
