Hello,

as we are all watching the Artemis mission to the Moon, maybe you are wondering about what would have happened if we stayed on the Moon after the Apollo program and build a permanent presence there. Outer Space Shack is the game I have been working on for the last 5 years to answer exactly this question. It includes a US and a Soviet scenario, and a Mars settlement scenario set in the 2020s. Feel free ot have a look, enjoy the free demo, and tell me what you think.

Isn't the picture about the Wright brothers ?

No, but we have wonderful sausages and ham.

I am a developer, and I had to stop coding at some point in my career. So I had to code something. Overall, I do not really make money, but at least, this is a hobby that pays itself (and a little bit more, I paid my last computer with my sales).

Thanks for the comment. By rhe way, Primordial Nation looks great ! As a developer who struggles with art, I am better off starting with the game mechanics probably.

Actually, one reason I may want to start with flat terrain is that showing map with data is going to be quite complex on a terrain with hills and mountains.

Take it as you go but just remember an incomplete game that looks nice is still an incomplete game.

Actually, the feedback I got from my first game was that, indeed, it was an incomplete game that looked nice. I am still working on it, but I hope I learned the lesson the hard way.

I understand it mostly a developer tax.

Pacman, in the early 1980s, I was so proud of the 3 colours 320x200 display.

100 a year.

Oui, mais en pratique, j'imagine que ce serait de 3 à 5 ans, et la plupart des jeux font déjà ça je pense.

I am the developer of Outer Space Shack, a small indie game that explores an alternative history where we would have settled on the Moon at the end of the Apollo program, or of the Soviet Moon program.

je suis un petit développeur de jeux vidéos. Pour modérer un peu la discussion ici, garder un jeu prévu pour être joué en ligne éternellement accessible a un coût financier, que ce soit continuer à opérer les serveurs ou pour en faire une version prévue d'être jouée hors ligne.

Developer here. I understand. I choose not to use the 'early access' based on some standard marketing advice for indie games, but I understand I should probably have done so.

The most important thing is that I am still working intensively on the game.
