GoldSpace (Working title: Space Pirate)

Here is how the rough progress looks like.

• blue boxes are levels
• the player will get control over the ship (and ther for use the star map only after level 3 or later)
• saving will happen after every major dialogue or goal achieved because i want to avoid having palyers going through it again
• There will be different levels in between when you enter the star map if you choose to play them

Hôla Space Pirateros!

I did a lot of finetuning, testing, bug hunting, AI improvements and level finetuning in the last weeks.
I also moved houses which leaves me in a bit of an exhausted state and i am looking forward to have some bbq's (fighting the cold german weather) and digital offtime during the x-mas time.

I am currently waiting anyways for the narrative script (which is a bit late unfortunately) for the last levels which i will work on once i have that. The next steps will be finishing the content and planning a release afterwards. I still have to decide where and how to do it. Also which price (if any) i will ask for. I would spend some dollars as a customer on this game (if i ask myself being a customer) but rather in the range of <=$5 and not so much<=$10. Let me know if you have an opinion. Playtime will be a couple of hours will little replay value because of the story (there are some hidden levels in the star map though). I plan for different endings but this does not branch in the beginning.

Afterwards i will either use the "engine" for another game, maybe coorporate with someone who is interested, expand on it or make it "open source". I still have to see how much value is in it but i could see a new game with new features and a different look.

My main achievement was to learn, see how far i can push myself (and Stencyl) and see if it turns into a product others find interesting. I think so btw

So stay tuned you lovely Stencyl community,

I am definitely interested in playing your game and seeing how it goes on in the future! I don't have an expert opinion, but I feel something around $5 might be a good price. I am your customer either way you decide  Also, when the game is this neat, there is a replay value even in going on trough the same story once more.

Will definitely pick this up is there's a Linux version

Not that I'm an expert on pricing, but $10 seems a bit steep for two hours of game play. With a short game play time my thought would be to set the price on the lower end of the spectrum ($5) in order to build a wider audience. Once you have an audience built up, you could use the same engine to make and sell a second episode.

Hm... how do i compile a linux version? Never thought about it.
I think the playtime is actually around 3-5 hours depending on how you play. I think something around 3.49 might work.
Have nice weekend guys!

If it is possible, you might put a larger price, for example around $7 and then often hold some discounts up to 50% - 70%.
I’m not sure how doscount policies work though, don’t have experience with selling PC games so far. (I do have Woodwarf on itch.io and Amazon Underground for $1 but with zero sold units)

You need to open Stencyl in Linux to compile to Linux.

Of course...silly me

I think there wont be further updates this year.
Wishing you all the best!

Have a great time

This year as in 2017?

Yes 2017 ... but turns out i was wrong
I worked on the planet surfaces (mostly code polishing but also some new tiles and stuff.

Is Santa an actual character?

Well...i made the image for this forum... but turned him into a NPC  because he is actually fun...a bit easter eggy but he also has a gun which fires unique projectiles

Interesting.

Hi Space Pirates!

I hope you had a good start.
I am about to get the final script and i am about to get back to work on implementing it.
I unfortunately have to rewrite the dialogue engine a bit to get it in but hey

All the best!
