I now added the first off script ship tho the game. The Miner! It gives the player the ability to mine Ore from Asteroids. This will be an alternative way to make money other than missions. It was fun building this little guy, kinda looks like a yellow and orange bug with the arms 😄
As you can also see in this short clip, the UI, the HUD has changed quite a bit. I still have some tester spots open if anyone is interested!
I am finally happy with showing more in game footage. This is now the first Test version that I have uploaded to TestFlight. The game is as mentioned before MacOS only.
You can see Loading an existing Pilot, creating a new Pilot, buying a Ship, buying Outfits and firing weapons.
I will make more in game footage as time goes on, also I am gonna let 4 people on here Test the first version.
So if you have a Mac and want to participate in the first test, then message me and I will get you setup. For now only 4, plus the one I already have. So in total 5 testers!
Later I will add a few more.
NOTE: This is pretty close direct clone right now, I plan on changing certain things like the Art and the Story slightly to make it more unique and something that can be built on. I have lots of ideas, but I will also look for cool ideas and features in this community!
Enjoy the video, and see you soon!
