Been working on Untethered for 3.5 years as of today! Decided to celebrate by making a neat little graph of the lines of code I've written over the years. Actually somewhat surprised at how linear it turned out to be.
No devlog this month but reminder: applications for the Tech Artist role are still open!

Devlog time! A more technical one, talking about all the refactoring I've been working on for the past month...

No video this time, but here's a post about everything that's been done in pre-alpha 11, and the path to the next major milestone: alpha!

Thanks for checking it out!
Happy to report that after 7 months of work, pre-alpha 11 is finally complete! This has, by far, been the longest update cycle in the Untethered's 3-year history, and marks a significant milestone in development. Expect a video from me in a couple of weeks once I've planned my next steps...
Some procedural asteroids to brighten your day :)

The past few weeks have been so busy... hopefully I'll have something to show off on Monday!
100 followers! Shoutout to you lot ❤️ I have a bunch of content to show off very soon, stay tuned...
On this day in 1961, humanity made its first step into space, with Yuri Gagarin successfully completing a full orbit. He landed in a potato field, and had to approach a terrified woman and her granddaughter to ask to make a phone call. You can't disturb soviet potato farmers in Untethered.
Over a year later and I still enjoy watching this trailer. Definitely looking forward to a new one though, some of that UI is old...

Just watched @jembawls.bsky.social's video on the Satisfactory journey, and feel the need to give him and everyone else on the CSS team a massive shout out. They have pushed the boundaries and set a new standard for this industry. A huge inspiration to game devs like me. Thanks team, helps a lot. ❤️
On this day, 60 years ago, Alexei Leonov completed the first ever spacewalk, spending 12 minutes and 9 seconds outside his spacecraft. He was, however, tethered. Amateur.
Just posted a little update on how development is going (tldr it's going well!)

done some upgrades to the sun and saturn 👍
Not sure why I got like 40 new followers over the past 4 days, but hi everyone! Introduce yourselves if you like! I now officially have more followers here than at the *other place*....
Started setting up an @notion.com project for the Untethered world bible. Couldn't have picked a better time...
Say hello to our bendy new friend: the radiator! Useful for getting rid of all that excess thermal energy.
Haha of course, the surprise "oh look it's me" moment doesn't get old!
So exciting!
New video time!

I'm not actively updating the demo at the moment, just working on full game content. But there will be an update to the demo closer to release!
The way it works currently is the fluids move through the standoffs (the structures that hold racks in place). No need to build external piping, everything remains neat and tidy. You just open the outlet valve on one rack, open the inlet on another, and the contents will flow.
