Hey fellow solo devs!

I am about to release my first 'real' game called Incremental Orbits. In the game you run your own company and get paid to discover and research the planets (and dwarf planets) of our solar system.

I am both excited and terrefied about the release. But no matter what happens, it was already worth it. I learned so much about game developement, marketing and the release process and I can't wait to work on the next game.

Feel free to ask me any questions about the game or the developement in general.

Incremental Orbits on Steam

Löve2D makes it so easy to just draw a bunch of shapes so I try to use that as much as possible.

The planets are circles, the lines are ellipses. The asteroids are also circles but with only five segments.

The game is called Incremental Orbits. There's a demo on steam if you want to give it a try (it also launches next week): https://store.steampowered.com/app/3457720/Incremental_Orbits?utm_source=reddit

Hey guys,

I am working on a incremental/management game where you run a space corporation and make a lot of money by doing resaerch and deploying satellites.

Instead of creating an art style that I love, I made it in a way I thought these games are supposed to look. After a couple of weeks I realized that I wouldn't be happy with this and remade the whole game in the style you see right now.

It might not be for everyone but I am certainly more proud of this than of what I made before.

I have a demo up on steam if you want to check it out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3457720/

Hi guys!

After years of trying different engines and frameworks and not finishing a single project, I am finally back to Löve2D and am now working on my first "real" game, called Incremental Orbits.

I discovered Löve2D way before the Balatro hype and have loved it ever since. But I always told myself that I had to use a "real" engine if I want to make a proper game (stupid, I know). However, none of the other engines and frameworks I tried came close to the freedom Löve provides. Now I am back and actually getting things done.

Incremental Orbits will be my first commercial release and I am honestly terrified of putting it out there. My plan is to keep working on the demo and gathering player feedback to hopefully create a decent first game.

If this looks interesting to you, feel free to check out the demo on Steam. I hope it's okay to share the link here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3457720/Incremental_Orbits/
