Looks great!

Very impressive! The Navigational Map is great. And from my count, you might make the maximum bonus for re-visitable locations.

Can't wait to see what the gameplay will be like though. You have a pretty good established base to build it up now from at least.

Smoothened all camera controls, and finetuned ship movement to feel more like you are actually handling a ship. There's now WSAD controls, with strafing and ship stop. Enemy homeworlds added to game... And finally new elements to the map; system view has planets, and galaxy map shows a fading zoom-in special effect on current star system.

Little by little coming together, just few more features to be able to neglibly call it a game

Released 0.1 version in the ftp, just to get feet on the door before competition closes Ok, maybe there is still over 24 hours time left, but i can still upload new versions later, right?

It's still heavily in progress, although the main thing, travelling is done. I hope you like the warpdrive. Mothership is slightly different and bigger from the normal combat ship, and also, while exploring v0.1 you will find enemy ships in unknown systems. They just don't do anything. All ships in same systam as player is in, have highlighted crosshair in the map.

Glad you got something in early just in case. If you want to upload a newer version, just make sure you number it higher than the previous one. This will help if you do submit a few extra to make maximum use of the time left so we know which is the latest.

Good luck in the final stretch!

It is not finished but it might remain final version for the contest.

That warp effect is enough to make it worthwhile. Very good.
