In theme of the recent solar eclipse, here's a random idea: A tidally-locked planet where its moon's orbital period is tuned in a way so that one side of the planet is in eternal solar eclipse, if that can be done? I think tuning it may be a little jank

thats a fun idea! theres definitely a way to tweak the planets orbits and gravity to make that possible and have the moon just sit at the L2 lagrange point, I think

Thank you! It really is starting to take shape I think

Game ideas Make it so your ship door can be closed, this can trap oxygen and you can breathe in your ship. Speaking of which, you can also make the ship better and maybe even add upgrades. Or maybe have different ships you can buy. Like for example, a moon grabber with long limbs that grab small objects (probably a crazy ship idea) Add some tools and structures like maybe idk a terraformer, or maybe multiple terraforming tools like a core reheater and an atmospheric generator. That way you have to see what the planet needs to be habitable. Make some other star systems that all orbit a galactic core which basically makes a galaxy. The galactic core in particular can be pretty much anything. Add a few more galaxies and basically make a universe. The goal of the game is pretty much up to you

Crazy as the moon grabber idea was, I was thinking of maybe doing something like that with asteroids, just for fun. Terraforming and making a whole galaxy are interesting but definitely push the scope, it's really tempting to just keep adding more wild and wacky things to the game but I do gotta reign it in I think. I loved doing the terraforming and galactic exploration in Spore so its really tempting

I'm happy you think so!

im looking forward to seeing more devlogs, and more broll and more of this awesome project. i just wanted to point out that (for now in its early state) the multiplayer isn't incetiviced much, maybe making it so exiting the planets is harder and it is required (or recommended) to have someone pilot the ship on one of those dangerous planets who can pick you up if something goes south (lethal company teleportation style but controlled by a human) could be nice. or some other thigs so the multiplayer is meaningful :))

Yeah I should definitely do more with it to make it an integral part of the experience. I'm a bit nervous to go all in on multiplayer because since its an indie game I feel I need to have the game really stand on its own as singleplayer to make sure I actually get enough people interested in it. I just need to find a balance between making sure playing alone is fun but then also add in all these extra multiplayer mechanics. One thing that you can already do thats pretty fun is have one player fly the ship while the other player uses the grappling hook to cling onto it while it flies through space. A teleporter is a great idea as well, and so is keeping one person onboard the ship to help evacuate the team if needed. Thanks for the feedback!

@@xen-42 That's really cool! Those interactions make the game super fun :) And i totally get it, also multiplayer development is hard, even more if your's is a physics based game, so i don't blame you if you focus in having a good singleplayer experience. In the end, if this is not your job, do whatever makes you feel like the game will be funnier, is your baby and you should mold it to your liking! Good luck, i'll keep a close eye to see what you do around here 👁️👁️❤️

Maybe you could add combat or missions to destroy enemy ships. The storyline could have this oppressive alien race enslaving another, so your mission is to liberate all of the planets, and slowly upgrade and survive!

Glad you like the game! I could probably record a few more oof ouch sounds and have a little variety at least so its not just OW over and over

I also want to make a Space Exploration game with mini solar systems. Except it involves exploring an entire galaxy, not just a single star system. And the main gimmick is to build colonies on other planets or moons and operate a variety of vehicles like cars, submarines, trains, and of course, spaceships. It is of course, based on Outer Wilds but also based on Subnautica. (How? Well, similar building system), and has procedural generation for most star systems. There are a few star systems that are pre-made and not generated randomly, like the Object System, the star system you start at. Procedurally Generated Star Systems have names like "RGS-3426" or "TSTC-29381". Not to mention, there are many possible planets that can generate, both rocky and gas giants. And a lot of star types. Stars can be divided into 4 categories in this game: Brown Dwarfs, Main Sequence Stars, Giant Stars, and Deceased Stars. And one thing is that you can actually travel to other, nearby stars using the starmap. The starmap is a feature on a spaceship that lets you take a view of the galaxy and travel to other stars, only ones that are either close to you or you have visited before.

@@xen-42 I am going to use your Mini Solar System tutorial for this, but also modify the code a bit for 3rd person. Because I want players to play as one of 10 characters selected for these missions. And acknowledge their animations, especially if you're afk. And I'll have to do a lot of modeling for the characters, vehicles, pre-made planets, structures, ect. And a lot more stuff I'll have to learn.

@@planetobjeciaoureturns2914 best of luck with it! Hope the tutorial is helpful!

Looks awesome, very inspiring that you're working on this. As an aspiring game dev myself it can be hard to find motivation. Nice job on everything you've done so far! Since you asked at the end of the video, personally I don't like fetch quests. I hope you end up coming up with a way to at least phrase it in a more exciting way. Consider making the quests have some narrative meaning to them. Or consider trying to intice the player into making the journey without being explicitly told to, like Outer Wilds. But then again, it does say "space delivery service" in the thumbnail, so take my criticism with a grain of salt.

@xen-42

Yeah I get what you mean on the fetch quests. I'd hope to have them be a way of getting the player to go between planets, and then on each planet they'll then find some more interesting narrative focused quests to do, and then maybe those quests will end up taking them between planets (and they can carry a new delivery with them on to the next world). So definitely want it to really be a side thing and have narrative stuff be the main focus

This looks pretty nifty.
