Thanks! And good luck with your own space game project!

Thanks!
I'm not far to complete the modifications/addons of the universe generator.
The next step will be to recalculate Epsilon Eridani and finally starting to implement the rest of the factions of origin and new planetary systems!

Sorry for the lil' hijack of your thread Keep up your good work!

I didn't know about this game. It looks awesome!

[edit]I've found the demo in itch.io. Of course it is your decision but it would be cool if you update that version too.

I have Steam but I prefer GoG; may be you can talk with them. They're very nice people, they always answered me.

Also a Linux version would be nice too, and since you're using SDL it shouldn't be hard.

[edit2] Sorry for so many petitions.

Even if I have a Steam account, a distribution on GOG would be nice yep! Thanks for the itch.io tip, I found his game!

Hey, thanks!

@paul_nicholls
Btw., good luck with your pas6502 project!

Played a lot, but the game is a bit too hard for me.

I tried to also play it in Linux with Steam Proton, but it doesn't go well, as shown below. The EConvertError is always different and seems random, like it's picking up garbage memory, but the line it happens on is always the same.

Thanks for letting me know! My experience with linux is a long time ago. But you could send me your log file (Savage Vessels > output > log.txt) which might provide a hint for me. (kpas@posteo.de)

Hey, I've sent you the log. If you don't use Linux then no need to look into it. Since Proton/Wine is basically a windows emulator it might be that they have a bug too. Was worth trying, since I switch between windows and linux a lot.

One thing that annoys me about the game, and I'm not sure if that is by design, is that you'll be swallowed by the void sometimes when beeing close to it, even without going into it. Though I'd quit playing it, but I try here and there So I recorded this, and it turns out it happens sometimes when you're touching the edge even a bit, which a lot of times doesn't swallow you into the void.

I haven't tried this game yet so I'm not exactly sure of what you are talking about. But based on what you say I think it might depend on the way colission detection is being handled.
So I recommend that next time you pay a litle more atention to ship rotation for when this occurs. Perhaps colision box for the ship needs a tad bit of adjustment.

Yeah, it's likely. It's not an easy game, and this makes it somewhat unpredictable. But I do like to go too close to the edge.

Thanks for the log, and sorry for the delay!
Ok, I was able to roughly localize the problem, but I cannot get closer without trial and error. If I ever have Linux on my PC then I know what to do at least.

When it comes to the void you have to pay attention to the nearby edge of the red-blue halo. As soon as the center of your ship crosses that line your are void fodder.
