Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! #indiedev #indiegames

I'm working on a space trader tycoon game where you start from nothing and build up your business empire.

Check out the demo, always looking for feedback!

To make the mining more interesting, I've added a feature called 'Ore Surges'. But does it fit the game?

Let me know what you think! #indiegame #indiedev

Nice! Hope to get there myself one day. How long did it take you?

Yeah, it took me a day. It's also not very intuitive at times.

After some more player feedback, I've added some more dynamic guidance so players don't feel as lost.

Give the demo a shot and tell me what you think! Always looking for more feedback. #indiedev

Starport Merchants - Introducing M.A.R.A - the ship's computer - Steam News Adding an improved tutorial

Some players have expressed some difficulties starting out and not immediately knowing what do. So I've added an interactive tutorial in the form of a ship advisor.

Also available in the demo. Let me know what you think!

At the start you'll be buying/selling stuff yourself, and as you get richer, more ways to automate stuff open up. Such as automated trading fleets, factories, etc...
You can still do things manually if you want. But the longer you play, more ways of getting passive income will open up for you.

Thanks! I'd say it can definitely be both, but it leans more towards optimizing your income flow. The roleplaying side is more visible at start, as you literally choose a starting role as a sort of specialization.

In time, more income sources open up and you'll want to expand into other roles.

I always preferred the EGA version, I think it has more character.

Classic

Lost in Time (1993)

An FMV adventure game by Coktel Vision. I liked this game a lot but I'm not sure if it still holds up! #retrogaming #DOSGaming

Eternam (1992) #retrogames #DOSGaming

Anyone remember this one? It was a very unique adventure game. It had a 1st person view for walking around between locations but switched to a traditional 2d point-and-click interface in indoor locations.

My favorite one is the second one (Hugo 2: Whodunnit).
It featured a big mansion and outdoor area, a lot of fun to explore.
But there were some annoying reflex-based parts that I always hated.

Back then I was always on the lookout for a new adventure game. The Hugo games were a staple!

Hallowe'en post #18:
Happy 40th to the NES!
VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas has >8100 NES screenshot maps!
Early on, I made this Maniac Mansion map, getting the attention of MM creator Ron Gilbert, who reposted it on his Grumpy Gamer blog, around the time VGMaps blew up!

Spooky season is upon us once again.

Time to replay Last Half of Darkness (1989) #retrogaming #dosgaming

This Wanted Poster describes the game's main antagonist: the "slimy purple murderous meteor" who has crash-landed and is mind-controlling the mansion's residents.

Maniac Mansion (Lucasfilm Games) was released circa 38 years ago.

Anyone remember this one? I have fond memories of the Hugo trilogy. #retrogaming #dosgaming

Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel - VGA remake (1992) #retrogaming #DOSGaming

Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun.
The fire cavern is home to wights and wraiths. These jerks have a chance to steal entire levels of experience with a lucky hit.

We finally found someone to trade with, but the townspeople went apeshit and trashed everything.
