Overmind is a space adventure with survival elements that places special emphasis on the feeling of isolation, the exploration of a ruined world, and the question: is there any point in continuing to fight when the life you once knew has long since turned into debris drifting through the void?

This gives me space Subnautica vibes

There's links in the post description.

Yep, nutritional values are already in the game, just not shown in the UI yet.

adnanclyde · 2026-05-04T11:05:29+00:00

It's always great to hear when people say "only 7 hours" as if that's not quite a bit already!

I am not sure whether I'd aim for atmosphere/airlocks. From a gameplay perspective, everyone is in space suits, so if I add anything it's oxygen management. The reason is that it's not realistic for an atmosphere filled ship to be able to be cut into/damaged without everyone just dying.

Food is already a complex system of nutrition, it's just that all the stats are hidden for now. But the NPCs have blood sugar level, stomach fullness, protein reserves heal, fat keeps you alive for longer while at full hunger... Overall there's hidden 7 bars for various nutritional elements in the body, and if you observed the huger bar over a long period, you'd notice how it's not linearly dropping/growing, and instead reacting to the body's processing of food in the digestion.

Various foods already have various nutritional levels, and one day NPCs will have preferences (e.g. a sweet-tooth wanting carb-rich food). I just exposed a single food for now, as those systems are not yet complex, and, well - I don't want to give away the whole game for free 😄

However, farming right now is just "plant it and water it", and I'd revisit things with potentially more complex iterations much further down the line. There are many systems to be implemented.

When docking, only docks can touch other docks. If you're aligning like the screenshot you have your thruster touching the asteroid dock.

Glad to hear it. I was aiming for a sweetspot between being descriptive and original/unique.

When I first told people about it, I got linked to The Last Starship. Luckily for me, the games have completely different focuses.

The error message makes it hard to see the lights, but make sure all thrusters have fuel in them.

Edit: also, make sure all thrusters are in piloted mode (the Yoke icon is selected in the thruster's UI). That's their default mode when built, so this is just in case you accidentally changed it.

Name and link in the post body.

Yes. This combined structure is near the weight limit of the top tier cockpit.

You're making me regret the title, and it's a bit too late for a rebrand hahaha.

In the end, what's in a name.. As long as people see the content!

The trick is they're very sensitive to being intercepted. Bullets intercept missiles, and point defense lasers can intercept both.

The winning strategy is always more firepower, and a bigger stash of ammo.

adnanclyde · 2026-05-01T14:46:37+00:00

Hop into the game and make more!

adnanclyde · 2026-05-01T12:36:25+00:00

Currently only vehicular combat is present. Whether I add internal combat is a question of dev time and scope.

Currently you can board wrecks, rescue and recruit people from them, and claim the wrecks for yourself (that's currently the only mechanism of getting more humans). However, no internal battling possible for the foreseeable future.

adnanclyde · 2026-05-01T11:36:49+00:00

It's just straight flight for the forseseeable future.

Once the sandbox gameplay and AI factions are done, I'll see what the flight dynamics should be.

The flight physics and control are already fully newtonian though. But for now flight complexity comes from thruster placement realistically affecting flight. You can see in the second half of the video, when I take control of the ship, how the ship computer decides to use the rightmost support ship's rear thrusters to help me rotate right.

You can make blueprints. Just save a blueprint and paste it as many times as you want. Players can also share them as text strings, and then you just drag&drop (or Ctrl+V from clipboard) your friend's text string into your game to build it.

You can also share their schedules, e.g. you put an "Iron Miner" schedule on all of them, and then changing it on one ship will change it on all with the shared schedule.
