A little too low earth orbit
-
Three days into unpicking this gnarly logic issue with my game and while I am absolutely non-mathematical enough to have wandered into an unsolvable maths problem I am also pretty sure that means I am also unlikely to have created an unsolvable maths problem in the first place... so just gotta keep chugging away at it I guess

Low Earth Orbit Adventures will be on show and playable at WIP night tomorrow at Sabby Co-op in Melbourne along with other work-in-progress games. If you're around drop by!

CW: comparison to ship design in Project Hail Mary
Hmm, the Project Hail Mary ship looks a lot like the Liberator 🤔 ... no wonder I liked it
-
I call it the SS Ryan Gosling
-
Station Aotearoa (formerly New Zealand), the Prime Minister's executive shuttle, and a gangway for easy transfer between the two. Getting this animation working was weirdly difficult but I got there!
For the year 2041 I invented a new flag for NZ ... well, they did it for us in Event Horizon so it's only fair! 🥝 💝

Spent way too long on this and it still needs another pass or two. Station USA under construction!

Had a really weird week on Low Earth Orbit Adventures. There were four "big issues" I had been kicking down the road for a while but I solved them all.
It was like I had four balls of string that were completely tangled and I just kind of untangled them first go without any shortcuts. A very strange feeling.
Just really intense, complicated work that... worked out? I wasn't even in some sort of hyper focus gremlin mode, just got lucky I think! I'll take it!

Holiday reading - the making of Star Cops. 350 pages on a show that lasted nine episodes (and inspired Low Earth Orbit Adventures). Perfection.

Low Earth Orbit Adventures now has a demo and a new trailer! Rescue astronauts from a stricken space plane in this relaxing newtonian space sim. Good for anyone who wants to live in space but can't.
Mastodon community helped with some of the details :D

Spent the last few days polishing the overall game but finally got to play the first mission from start to finish in LEO Adventures today.
It feels a tad too difficult with the RCS stabilisers off and a tad too easy with the RCS on but pretty happy with how the controls work in general.
For a 3D Newtonian game it's quite pick up and play which I think is pretty unique!

Low Earth Orbit Adventures on track to be in Next Fest. Demo submitted!
-
Really need a name for this craft. Currently calling it the Regularly Scheduled Nusantara to Moon City Space Plane but that isn't very pithy.
-
What's a good name for a space plane that has a penchant for getting stricken?
-
When making a Newtonian physics space game it doesn't matter what the developer does first because it's guaranteed the second thing they will do is implement a reaction control system (RCS) to stop whatever the hell is happening on screen 🚀

Favourite paint job - "flames" - so far (and got surprised as I was wondering why it was so dark in game and then the asteroid shadow passed)
-
Getting into the meat of the game now... will soon know what I've actually got after 18 months!
My early impressions are that it is too punishing. I'm OK with a Newtonian game being really hard but there's a line between challenging and frustrating.
For example if you miss the docking and knock the target it goes spinning away and that's basically mission over. Thinking of having the target fire its RCS thrusters to stabilise so you can try again a few times. Stuff like that
-
Based on progress this month I think I'm going to push for a demo to be ready for the next NextFest 🎉
-
This high-g human centrifuge has no purpose in the game other than to make players feel nauseous.
It's the one feature in Low Earth Orbit Adventures that is completely out of scope but I absolutely refused to cut it at any point. I needed this for my own sanity.

Ophelix (a character from Escape from Pleasure Planet) guest starring as MediWeapon Customer Service (from Cell Sword) in Low Earth Orbit Adventures... three games in one

Was writing some standard sci-fi newspaper articles for The Lunar Times and accidentally started feeling good about humanity's future
-
I need a name for this asteroid. Like, a serious one.
Its background in Low Earth Orbit Adventures is that a company brought it closer to Earth to mine it but its orbit needs constant maintenance.
It needs a proper scientific name (I'm thinking 2039-MF1?) but also a colloquial, poetic name if anyone has suggestions (no guarantees I'll use it though!)
-
Me (being dragged away by the AFP based on my search history): "And what is the charge?!? Designing a nuclear demolition device? A succulent atomic explosive? Get your hands off me! Ah, I see you know your asteroid deflection techniques well."
-
Introducing Canadarm Air, our thinnest canadarm ever. Just 1 atom thick at its thinnest point.

Nailing the realism
-
Old logo vs new. Taking this gamedev malarkey super serious now.

In Low Earth Orbit Adventures you pilot a little space tug that's the Swiss Army Knife of spaceships... and now you can graffiti it 😁 🚀 🖌️

Going to the source (the 1976 NASA Graphics Standard Manual) for the UI colour palette of Low Earth Orbit Adventures

@leece I LOVE Star Cops. I'm making a game that's a bit of a homage. I'd kill for a Star Cops reboot.

Last sneak peak at Low Earth Orbit Adventures until next year I'd say
