Nevertheless, the devlog almost has a birthday! One year ago I published the very first post. Some thoughts about that in the blog too!

Thanks!

Hi once again!

Yet another blog post regarding the upcoming Alpha gametest! Nothing huge this time, but some thoughts about the Steam and feature progress list.

Yo! A huge announcement!

Steam pages are finally here:

Go check it out and give your opinion!

Back in 2024, I would never believe this day could actually come.
Playable Alpha is under review by Steam, so it should be there in a couple of days.

Nice! Just tried it! Landed on a score of 420. Game feels super smooth 👍

Some feedback.

  • Would be nice with some background music just to get into the mood a bit more.
  • The big rocks in the background feel a bit static, perhaps make them move a bit more with the paralax. Then you have some pretty good depth. Like the stars/suns in the far background, the rocks closer, then the smaller rocks even closer etc.
  • The smaller sun to the left feels low resolution compared to the rest.
  • Feels a bit strange to need to manually trigger next wave. Perhaps just start next wave automatically to keep the pace up.
  • I have a superwide monitor, feels like the background is stretched.


    where the penguin?

    Also, in your company web page it sounds like the company consist of many people team.. how many people worked on this project?

      This works on Linux. I have used Manjaro for the development by time to time, so the overall support for Linux should be a relative easy to achieve. But, because this was (and still is) my very first game on Steam, I decided to go with ease and officially support only Windows, at least for the start. 😉

      This is a solo-development process, so only I have worked on with this. It just sounded funny to use "Me" instead of "We" on the company's homepage.

        Nice to hear that you give this a shot! 🙂

        Background music was on the list, but I had not enough time to finish that so I had to cut it out from the Alpha. Overall, it isn't that crucial for the game testing. But I agree, it definitely needs some music on the background.
        Good to hear that background get stretched with superwide monitors, I think I need to do some resolution settings or such.

        Thanks for the feedback! Good points there! 🙂
