GoldSpace (Working title: Space Pirate)

Happy Christmas!

I am very proud to share a new game play demo with you:
http://mabafu.com/spacepirate/SpacePirate279.zip
Passwort for zip is "galao"

This is PC download build 0.279

What is in?

• It contains all features and content i have been working on in the last months
• You have 4 bigger levels which appear in a linear way with new themes and also puzzles
• 2 Planets to visit
• There are several random encounters that you can attack
• You have a crew member that you can rescue and he will give you updates
• A basic mood system which affects various parts of the game
• Added a lot of sounds
• A lot of polish in general

What is missing and needs work:

• Story is missing in general
• Mood system needs to be advanced
• Star map, space traffic and encounter system needs to be advanced

This is not an Alpha yet.
What i plan next:

ALPHA:

• finishing all features
• balancing & playtesting & bug testing
• find a final name, build a website and start PR

   
BETA:

• finetuning & polish
• translating it to German, French, Spanish

   
Please send me your impression!
Peace!

I love it! Especially the music and the overall atmosphere.

Small nitpick: Since you play with two hands on the keyboard, I would prefer it if it were entirely keyboard based (e.g. space instead of click, select with keys in the shop).

Thanks for the quick feedback!
And i totally agree. I will fix that.
I just didnt had the time yet.

This is really great!

Really great stuff Bombini.  I had no idea you could build such high-caliber games like this in Stencyl. 

*tips hat slowly and respectfully

Thanks guys!
Stencyl is a great tool if you dig into it. There are no limitations so far for me (if you stick to 2D) except lightning and so on.
I hope we can get some cool stuff done in 2015 for Stencyl in regards of light and shadow effect.
this is something i want to take a look at for sure.

New Space Pirate updates will be coming popping up in the next weeks. I took a much needed break from my notebook

This game is gorgeous! I'm really looking forward for this game to be released! You should try to Greenlight this~
Also, RPG Maker has a custom script made by someone (cant remember the name) which has a "lighting system". I'm fairly positive that if you dig into it, you'll find a way to replicate it in Stencyl.

Thanks!

That is my plan.
First i have to solve a big fullscreen problem though and add some more features. I need to build a website, twitter account and create sopme buzz first.
I will take a look at the lightning system.

Cheers!

The fullscreen problem  seems to be solved.
I am working on:

• Mood system needs to be advanced
• Star map, space traffic and encounter system needs to be advanced

Meanwhile:
...engines can be blown up and harm the hull of the vessel : )

I made a new draft for the mood bar which i prefer a lot.
Will be in soon!




Old draft to compare:

The fullscreen problem  seems to be solved

The fullscreen link does not appear to work. Maybe one needs an indie or studio account to access?

Anyway, the new mood bar looks great; much cleaner, and it conveys the necessary info quicker than the old draft, imho.

Thanks!

Regarding fullscreen:
True... its a customer forum.

In a nut shell:

• Only small parts of the game in fullscreen where showing up
• i removed several backgrounds in scenes to make it work (which makes no sense)
• It might be related to starting the inital game in Stencyl 2.0.0 and porting it to 3.0 and 3.2

How it looked:

A quick update and a new version:
