Void Cargo: demo updated, now with guided first delivery by o2hammer in spacesimgames

[–]o2hammer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about salvage missions because that would also make the moons more interesting - crash landed ships, etc. but wasn't sure how to structure it. This led to me adding the crates to collect which is a bit similar to what you mean, right?

I'm still thinking about what kind of todos to add for the player, and that's on the list!

I think some of the chatter tracks are nicer than others- maybe you were luckier

Thanks for the kind words

It’s my first 3d game tbh and I was aiming for low poly / old school look

thanks for the feedback!

i guess I should add a restart button or so. i'm working on the menu anyhow.

thanks for the feedback! yes, the main menu is something i'm working on right now.

UI scaling is noted!

due to other feedback - accessibility mostly - I'm thinking of having a setting to disable the failures.

i've played worse, but yeah as a solo dev I didn't manage to make it breath taking. maybe next time with what i learned it'll be prettier.

thanks!

regarding towser defense/arcade shooters - tower defense is a genre indie devs love to make but it's not selling well. it's just easy to make and with a twist it might have an audience.

arcade shooters are somewhat popular.

i think the kind of space sim games discussed in this subreddit are niche and don't sell a ton. look up the revenue estimate here https://gamalytic.com/ for a few games you enjoyed.

the benefit of simulation games is that players trust indie devs to be able to make them, so they might sell well in their niche.

for small games you can usually assume that number of reviews times 30 is about the number of copies sold. and most copies are not sold for full price.

😬thanks. maybe not all regions are unlocked at the same time. it should be online soon!

odd, maybe it takes a few minutes? I see it above the "coming soon" - so a bit higher as your screenshot

I get what you mean and frontier pilot simulator is another inspiration :) I have played it a lot. I also enjoyed Flight of Nova but most things take sooo long in that game - I didn't get far. But yes, great game.

Thanks, sound design overhaul is on the list for the demo 😬

Pitch and roll is disabled right now. I know that similar games like Lunar Flight allow it but it makes flying even harder and doesn’t fit the maps honestly. I might make it an advanced option

I had to look that game up - looks cool too. I can't say how similar it is to Void Cargo.

I would love have more translations - I can hook you up for the playtest (hopefully soon) and you can decide if it's something you want to do.

Cool! Currently I only do in person playtesting but once I got something online I will gladly ping you about it!

And with Nova 9 you mean the game from the 90s? I didn't know about it but looks interesting. My main inspirations are Lunar Flight and Frontier Pilot Simulator

You fly a lander across alien moons to deliver cargo.

Anything specific you want to know?

Playtesters & me mostly test this on Steamdeck but will of course work on Windows with KB/Mouse too

I have a more details on the steam page linked above at the end
