oh man love the semi real art style and the low poly 3d environments. Nice to see more adventure games with narrative focuses.

Been a while but here's a quick update:

Ship looks a little like Biosphere 2 now:



And we're starting to make a Steam page! We've made some big jumps in development and are hoping to release soon. It's been really hard to get this last 10% done, since everyone is working day jobs etc. But the end is actually in sight! Our trello page has what feels like absolutely everything left to be done on there, so we'll see : )

we have a steam page now! wishlists highly appreciated : )

this has been helpful to make it feel like it's really coming to an end : )

We also have some amazing promo art by our artist Sandra Lanz:

Just finished my first version of a normal isometric click-to-move control scheme and played through the game for the first time with just the mouse! I know this sounds kind of boring, but this was the last big programming task I had to do and it was weighing heavily on me. It's a bit rough... but at least it works!

I know it's kind of weird that we had a different control scheme, but I personally really like playing games with controllers, so that's why this came so late in the game. You can still play with a controller, but we're guessing that using a mouse is the most common way people will play this game + what people will expect of a game like this.

Now I can spend my time polishing : ) We're hoping to have it all done by Feb 15 to submit to Indiecade.

Here's a picture which doesn't really illustrate the click to move stuff at all, but I swear it's happening!

We released our game in June but just getting around to updating this.

We finished it!!

Congratulations! How has the reception been?

Been pretty good! We've gotten a lot of kind words in Steam reviews (from people we don't know!) which has been really cool to see - people have also been posting screenshots and little comments in the Steam community tab which I didn't even really know about, but that's been really heartwarming : )
