• New year new luck
  January 06, 2024 by Thuklus

  So, I'm back on the project, after a break. And yes that was a long break, RL was a bit intense the last few months. Right now, I go over all the systems again and see where I'm going with the project... Continue reading
• Possible Engine change
  September 17, 2023 by Thuklus

  Since there seem to be some troubles at Unity, I consider to change to another game engine or framework. This would mean that the game has to be made from scratch, so that would take some time... Continue reading
• Back to work
  July 29, 2023 by Thuklus

• Small changes
  June 28, 2023 by Thuklus

  The UI comes now in a fresh look. Also, the market has now unlimited money. Turns out it was a bad idea to limit it in the first place, it just hinders the player's progress and lead to frustration. T... Continue reading
• A small request
  June 24, 2023 by Thuklus

  Well, actually several. Some of the visitor of your station may now leave request (in the public bay menu). For now, just a few of the visitors do that, and there are not many of them. I do plan to fu... Continue reading
• A fresh start
  June 10, 2023 by Thuklus

  The title is no joke. If the start screen shows anything below version 0.3.15, reset or regret! The beginning of the game and the tutorials have been adjusted. This should yield a smother start of the... Continue reading

• Battle changes
  May 27, 2023 by Thuklus
