Thank you for building it. Did you guys use Unity? The startup time is very low.

#122This is amazing! The visual style is stunning. This actually comes very close to a style of game I've wanted to exist for a long time. The premise being this: You're on a ship going between destinations, but there's no light-speed shortcut, or jump-cut to the destination. Instead, you have to maintain the ship for the entire duration of the journey. Making sacrifices in power and computing ability to resolve problems…
FTL: Faster Than Light is sort of similar to your premise but the style is very different - it's a roguelike RTS.

It would be a shame, just a tragedy, if this machine suffered catastrophic hardware failure with 3 months left on my AppleCare contract :)
Oh no! How will you ever recover? /s

Someone else mentioned babylon.js in this thread. Did you evaluate that and choose three.js over it?

I have pages of notes for a game like this that I've been thinking about since university, largely inspired by Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse. This game reminded me of it too, maybe I'll get to it one day.

There's a multiplayer game where you get in a match and play tiny minigames where you fix the issues of the ship, and once you fix them all, you win. The twist is, there is an assasin among all players, and his goal is to sabotage your ship even m…
Are you thinking of SpaceTeam? We had a ton of fun with this game at a previous job.

#128Got me Von Braun flashbacks.
4k rendering is slow on the integrated Ryzen 3 machine. Any way to lower rendering resolution?
Mobile FF just hangs after trying to load.

#129Great performance running on Android mobile!
I'd legit pay 10$ for this, let it be an episodic adventure!
Re: Equinox.space
#130I never play games but this was actually fun. Are there PC games that have a similar concept that can run on not a very powerful laptop?
Stanley Parable / Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist are two (from the same devs) that stand out in recent memory. Myst (and Riven and there are like six total ending with a fully 3d Obduction) are cult classics and already referenced.
