Okay so we reached an important point in the game development, because now we can not only LAND ON THE PLANETS, but we can also LEAVE THE PLANETS!!! This definitely didn’t take an embarrassing amount of time (tracker speaks for itself) and we did get stuck a few times, but the aftermath is that IT WORKS!
What you can do right now:
-Travel around the space
-Die in at least 5 ways
-inspect a planet (meaning you can get a better look at it and see its name)
-choose whether you want to land on the planet or not
-actually land on the planet
-leave the planet (unless it’s a gas giant or you die in a different way)
-repeat
What’s next:
Next I am gonna make a menu screen, because right now you just jump straight into the map. Then I need to make Earth the endgame, because right now it’s the only thing that’s not interactable. After that I make some cool death scenes.
What’s coming in the far future:
I want to add an oxygen level and make some planets that will be able to refill it. I also want to add at least 3 more ways to die. I also need a starting planet that will disappear after you leave it. I wanted to add a starting animation, but I don’t think I have enough time for that. I also wanted to add some minigame(s) to make it more fun, but again, time is becoming problematic. And I REALLY wanted to add some animals on a couple of planets, but this is at the very bottom of the list and I need to concentrate on the essentials.
Wish me luck!
