@slembcke decades old trick :)

I reached the demo boundaries in all cardinal directions

not managing to find another copper to complete storage L2 (the signals are all out of bounds or the cold area ones that appear to mark the current demo end?)

auto stash is indeed great - the extra drone as well

one more thing I stumbled over is scan having priority over ship wreck/cargo teleporter (rescanned things a lot when trying to turn in resources)

Ok Fedi friends. This is my game's demo that I've been (mostly) solo dev-ing. Playable in your browser this moment. (the thread has a download with source code too!)

I'm kind of looking for feedback if it's a good demo or not before launching it on Steam. It's a crafting game, and the demo caps the available materials. I worry that it will lead players to grind instead and end the demo on a sour note.

It also still has some placeholder elements. Is that a turnoff?

Boosts appreciated. :D

@lisyarus web comes and goes. C++ has demonstrably been around for probably longer than your students have been alive...

And, akshually, you can always rewrite it in Rust.

I don’t have much time for gamedev at the moment, so I spent some time on game feel - screen shake, vfx, post processing.

Got some feedback to “lean into the chaos” so I’m definitely doing that.

@ArmouredWizard sometimes there is a right way - but most of the time, there’s only a “least wrong way”. And to find that one, you need to try a few other wrong ones first!

@imakecoolstuff.bsky.social I’d totally play that.

@soundsafari tbh this was all cooked when Twitter (remember Twitter?) non-consensually made everyone follow Ashton Kutcher…

Also, those are rad flamingos.
