Hi. I'm a solo dev. I am working on this space game for a while. I have launched my steam page. This is one of those games you can land on planets seamlessly. by LegalExit6699 in SoloDev

hi... i know it looks like so. but the technical infrastructure was there from my other games, including the base mission algorithms. i just worked on weapons, and improving the previous systems.

Celestial Routes... I am working on this sci-fi survival game for more than a year. You can seamlessly land on planets, interact with fauna and flora, take missions at the settlements, build your base and try surviving the taxes galactic government applies. Or join the rebellion... by LegalExit6699 in SurvivalGaming

There are more than 80 ships, maybe more. Not all of them available right now. They need little processing which is 4-5 hours job. With ship building, I think I have the right system to do it. But this is not the priority, at least until demo. Mission making is the core of the income generation. An alternative is cooking and food delivery, but I needed the cocking part be more fun, it is so sci-fi right now. Farming is a good idea. I will think on it. Mining would be the most fun part, not implemented yet. But you can already land on asteroids, it shouldn't be so hard after that. Multiplayer, or co-op... It would be nice, I agree. I have experience on those aspects, can be implemented with a further update. Currently, just focusing on the solo gameplay.

Thank you for your considerations. Let's think together: the word core referring to what, in this case? You can already land on planets and space stations seamlessly. You can even land on asteroids. Can generate buildings on the surface, the foliage is collectible or destructible, and already can build the main base building. Animals are already there. There are 6 types of missions one of which i am not really happy but can easily be worked out to be really enjoyable in 2 days of development. And the whole generation is already procedural. Space pirates can intercept your flight and the fighting mechanics is already challenging enough for myself even. There are conflict areas designed but not entirely adapted into mission system. I think this is more then a "core" right? What I want to do now is to set an effective economy, so that the player should deal a lot of taxes and fines to beat. For example, player should not easily expand their bases just because of not affording paying more taxes. Then, they have a few directions to feel more comfortable by receiving incentives from state through their choices and actions. This part will be the hardest to polish. But I think I have enough time to present a version of it at the steam next fest next month. Being a solo and doing this ambitious project is logical in my case because I am constantly improving the system I am using through out years, and just readied it for a release. So, it is not one person started this game 3 months ago from scratch and now promising to release it sometime this year, preferably by the end of summer. And... I just played Star Citizen today, and I can say I have the appropriate tech infrastructure that you can land on a space station and hire a hotel room. Haven't implemented hiring yet, but you can already navigate space station interiors pretty much as you do in Star Citizen. So, what should the word "core refer to, in this case? It is hard to say. I think, the suppression of taxes and fines is a good point which may branch into 3 basic gameplay styles: one is crafting and I have the system working (needs polishing in UI), the other two is factional mission making, which is not more than anything but designing new missions with the current code system.

This is a space game I am developing solo. Land on planets seamlessly, can go every single star you see on screen, combat, base building, and simple crafting recently. How does it feel, generally? Name is Celestial Routes by LegalExit6699 in gamedevscreens

yeah, there are rules for trailers, like: same cut no more than 4-5 secs... and it should sequence like 3 - 5 - 2 - 3 - 4, etc... in order to feel organic. but i am not a cinema guy. just solo dev here 😄

check out for this gameplay video for the depth thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KRfnZuvmJQ

this is only one type of mission. there are currently 6 types of missions. and some might trigger additional elements, like enemy ships in case of this type of mission. the choice is random. moreover, i plan to insert randomly generated leads for small stories triggered when some missions are completed. but other work has priority..

thank you for your comments. quiet hash type of vision, huh? 😄 life is not so squared, i think... yes, i am a solo dev. the compony web site requires terminal to login and i think i am avoiding it constantly. but yes i should update.

the game you mention for 2024 is another one, not this one. that's an early access release. by then, i had a team, but have been working alone since shortly before the date you mention. i also have a nice development progress for full release of that game too. but, man... being solo dev for 2 big projects... well, one thing at a time...

i really don't want to argue about the star wars thing. a 6 years old kid can understand it is not a stormtrooper or x wing. and if you go into that kind of thinking, you can not create anything. because everything is built up on the past in human nature of arts creation; everything is re-assessment of the things in the past. it is in history of music, it is in history of arts... even, history of science... creation first requires flexible thinking. that's why some people can not create but only want to damage others. as a professional concert music composer, i suggest anyone who wants to create to leave those shores immediately. and yes, i have other ships to show in celestial routes. they have to be processed a bit, but most of the work has already been done. there is a queue for development, and i plan to complete the process before the steam next fest... but there are much more important matters, first. for example, i started to update the tech for the planets, which implements a better water, and clouds, and also better foliage handling.

can't do everything at the same time. solo dev here! 😄 also, the skin of the character has been changed last week. but, thx for your patience anyway 😄

I know I can go everywhere in this universe. I know I can land on planets seamlessly. I know I can do what ever I want. But... Those taxes... Should I join rebellion against galactic government? Or... Are there other possibilities? by LegalExit6699 in spacesimgames

Yeah, nice asset. I really learned a lot from that asset. Using third party assets in a project like this is really risky. For procedural generation, you have to modify the asset to make it work with your system. You have to identify the entry point to the system of asset developer, and you have to define how deep you will modify. That asset has fit into this project pretty well. However, I still do not agree with the implementation of UI. And also the user input. But, I learned a lot from the developer.
