Milestone #2! Basic mining, Jumpgates, and Cargo Crates

Solarance: Beginnings
A downloadable game for Windows

Milestone 2 is released!

SpacetimeDB’s main cloud has been updated, and I won’t wipe it until Milestone 3 is complete.

  • You can mine asteroids
  • You can jettison and retrieve cargo crates
  • You can jump between sectors (currently via jump gates only, more modes of FTL are planned)
  • Basic “radar” video, proper minimap later.
  • Asteroids despawn when you take all of their resources, and respawn after some time

Next Milestone: https://github.com/GalaxyCr8r/solarance-beginnings/milestone/3

  • Add NPC stations where you can sell anything (thus completing the basic mining gameplay loop)
  • Add basic faction(s) (probably just a singular faction for this milestone)
  • Add basic NPC ships (probably doing something dumb)
