Making a cosy sci-fi western "survival-lite" game 🌌
Settle a broken colony, power it up, make it your own

I’m working on a cosy sci-fi western “survival-lite” game.

You arrive at a broken settlement on a distant world, fix it up, power it on, and slowly make it feel like home.

More soon.

@stardunegame Reminds me of super Mario sunshine but in reverse!

THERE BE GOLD IN THEM HILLS!

Panning was a bit rubbish because you'd either get no resources or a load of the same resource.

Reworked it so you get a much nicer spread that feels a bit more realistic.

Now I just need arms...

Been adding the finishing touches to some of the systems already in place.

Lights now switch on and off automatically at dawn and dusk.

Looking forward to using this event system elsewhere in the world.

@BillyBonesIndie Me too. Western / Sci Fi is where its at. Totally inspired by Firefly/Ripper Street / Knights of Cydonia.

[Monocool @monocoolint]

Started building some life away from the settlement.

After a day of fixing things, mining and generally trying not to die, it's nice to have somewhere to spend the evening.

I particularly enjoy the swinging saloon doors.

@BillyBonesIndie 🤣 Can't tell you how much I've thought about having heists, train robberies and bank robberies. "This is a stick up!"

[Monocool @monocoolint]

@SMFL_GD Thank you so much! That's the vibe I was going for haha.

@IndieWithMatheo I'm working on a Survival Lite game where you have your own plot of land on a moon that is on the edge of the Galaxy. The future meets the wild west.

@jettelly Love that. Especially love the guy getting blown into next week at the end. Part of the game or a 'feature' for twitter?

@infollamap30251 Looks beautiful. Love the little animals!

[Monocool @monocoolint]

@KrakenCombo Yea that's ridiculous. Really nice work. I love it!

[Monocool @monocoolint]

@Pixilluzion That looks really, really, really neat. You should be proud!

[Monocool @monocoolint]

@BananaTigerStd Crazy crazy crazy crazy!

[Monocool @monocoolint]

Been a hectic few days, but it’s been great updating some of the in-world UI.

It’s wild how much difference a decent font can make.

Still need to update the interaction prompts and settle on a font for those too.

One minute you’re “just checking the sediment”…

Next thing you know you’ve been panning for 20 minutes.

@XfeedX24 In the absolute nicest way possible - this reminds me of so many early playstation / xbox games. Obviously your graphics are way better. I love it. Really nice job!

[Monocool @monocoolint]

@Axie_Lotls Looks beautiful. I especially love how the flowers just spring back when you get rid of the snow. Really nice job!

[Monocool @monocoolint]

@Magexy07 That looks crazy good. Can't imagine how much time it took to make that kind of ui / folder system. You got some magic behind it or is every window an object?

[Monocool @monocoolint]

@Kylyk_Games Are we time travelling?!?!

[Monocool @monocoolint]

@rbeargames This looks... cool. Pardon the pun! What's the objective of the game?
