Flightless Star Demo Update - Redrawing planets and background

So… I changed my mind... 

The previous update should have been the last one, the intention was going to focus on finishing the complete game. But after wandering about some of the reasons for the little interest in the game (of the small people that visited the game page, almost none downloaded it) and searching for what could be improved made me feel pretty insecure with the visuals (again), more specifically, the background and the planets.

The planets were very ugly, making a cross section of them sounded like a good idea, but they ended up looking like weird painted circles (yes they technically are, but it shouldn't look so obvious). The background was kinda cool, but also very bland and uninspired, and it would barely move so the player was stuck with the same view for the entire demo.

So I decided to stop developing in the middle of the second level, take a step back and focus on these problems.

And that's the update. Even though it was very significant, it took longer than I expected. I'm still wondering how much I will have to cut from the final game to be able to finish in 6 months. On the other hand I'm having great new  gameplay and story ideas for the game. 

But. as I said before, the future is a little uncertain (as always), it all depends on how things will go in the next 2 months. Maybe by then I will have a better picture to predict how much I should invest (of money and time) in this game.

I hope you have a great day and stay safe.
