Uh oh, I sent my fleet on a trade mission without much protection. RIP brave space sailors! ๐Ÿ˜“๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿš€ #gamedev #indiedev #gamer #indiegame #gaming #scifi

Fleet just finished a trade mission, so expanding the base...will have to dispatch the fleet on some piracy, next. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿฆœ๐ŸŽฎ #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #scifi #videogame

Adding more advanced weapon properties like multi-shot weapons, and more intricate defensive properties like damage reduction. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #indie #gaming #scifi

Hmm...how to equip my fleet... Fixing some UI issues and expanding ship stats. ๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿš€ #gamedev #indiegames #screenshotsaturday #gamedevelopment #indie #videogame

I've actually had to use the pen tool in Photoshop. As a coder. Palpable sorrow still lurks below the abyss of my soul.

I'm really tired and demoralized...but I think I'm still making solid progress. Battles looking solid, and new galaxy map is a big help! #gamedev #gamedesign #indiedevhour #indiegames #gaming #sciencefiction #games

I hope no one takes offense to my fake ads. These puppies are engineered for space travel. "Cute, cuddly, loyal, & emergency protein".... ๐Ÿ˜… #gamedevelopment #indiegames #indiedev #sciencefiction

Still crude, but fleets can now engage hostiles! Protect trade convoys or equip your ships for piracy. More advanced ships have much better stats. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #gamedesign

I love how many players are swinging around the city so they can take a picture with the Pride flag. No more crimefighting, this is the game now. #SpiderManPS4

People complaining about "free speech" on Twitter...as Twitter's algorithm hides Tweets and bots flood the platform with hateful bullshit...all the while making money on ads. Never been anything free, fair, or equal about speech on social media.

Still throwing myself into that epic space grind...I really don't have much time left to finish, but I have no regrets! ๐Ÿคž๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŒŒ #gamedev #indiegames #gamedevelopment #sciencefiction

Hopefully, I can share my steam page store link soon -- it's in review now. I hope my media and copy is okay! ๐Ÿ˜… #indiedevhour #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev

It's taken forever...but finally submitting my steam page for approval and getting ready for early access. [I know it's a long shot, but I'm also looking for a publisher/investor! ๐Ÿคž] youtu.be/aXFzmyWor_Y #gamedev #gamedesign #indiegames #indiedev

Welcome to your new space home! New civilian port attracts a steady stream of residents and specialists. ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŽฎ #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #IndieGameDev #space #scifi

Sending a test fleet on a trade mission. Each ship will be customizable once the player unlocks shipyards. Much improved on the old system of individual ships. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #indiegame #gamedesign

One new feature is assigning random names to vessels. Hence, "The Dick Interceptor" is born. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜… #gamedev #gamedesign #indiegame

Infinite grid helps make mouse movement much easier. New UIs grinding along slowly...this should be the final major overhaul! Definitely the last I can afford. ๐Ÿ˜… #gamedevelopment #indiedevhour

New research UI and functionality is roughly working...think it's about time for a break! ๐Ÿฅƒ๐ŸŽฎ #gamedevelopment #screenshotsaturday #IndieGameDev
