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!

Here's video from v0.2 (it's actual ingame musics, not separately added to video):



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

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

Wow, that's really awesome! Don't think I've ever seen that cool of a real-time visual effect for a space warp done in a game before. BTW you may have an extra 2 days, if noone objects to an extension. You could add something more to your entry if you want.

BTW I like some of the videos that you guys are posting on YouTube. Would you be willing to upload them to the FTP site under a 'videos' folder? It would really help me to make a promotional video down the road for the event. It's also nice to show off your guys great work like this. And you guys really do deserve all the credit for it.

The video is 62Mb in size, and always available from Youtube as i made that public. But i can upload it if it helps

Maybe i could finish the combat in extended time. The v3 is for now buggy in a way that (new) healthbars and attack button are flashing... AI engages in combat from place that is not intentional, and counterattack system fires up. Notices that no ships in system and stops combat, all repeatedly many times per second

PGD has no space limits these days. Not for something like that. And it does help a lot so I would really appreciate the contribution of that great footage to show off. As a video file I can convert and cut my own community ads from it and use it to promote the community more. Plus not having to record it myself gives me more time to the compilation and showcasing rather than gathering.

Yeah if you've met all the goals, which from the video it seems you have, playability and gameplay would be a good priority I think.
