Interstellaria

coldrice | Released 2015

Command your own Starship! Take control of a powerful faster than light ship. You control the crew and the stations. Your skills as a commander will either help you to survive the perils of the galaxy, or cause your crew to perish. Your crew lead the way. You keep them fed, give them rest, and entertainment. Assign them to stations to boost your ships abilities and level up their skills. Each crewman is unique and valuable. Each one you let die is a huge set back! Explore the galaxy! Trade between worlds, and use diplomacy to learn the secrets of the universe. IF all else fails, make planet fall and explore the world on foot. Upgrades are everywhere! New ships are available at every port. Purchase helpful stations which you can place on board your ship to help your crew, or your combat abilities. Powerful guns and armor are available as well to keep the commander safe on his away missions.

We've expanded the space section of interstellaria with an awesome inventory screen, as well as tweaked crew AI! Concept art, videos, and more!

Just as always, this week begin with some shamefully bad concept art out of the book:

From there, it was time to work. 3.5 hours was spent on making this into a beautiful cargo bay.

The captain's inventory allows you to access the inventory you have when in platformer mode. The cargo pods are expanding/removable/upgradable. Finally, the far right allows you to equip weapons to your ship as well as see your current stats

The process took a long time, but what's fun is we TIMELAPSED the entire thing! For those aspiring artists hopefully this helps give insight on the process. For this with skills, its a great opportunity to give feedback and help us improve!

Finally, the crew AI has been expanded. The crew go to stations when they need it, and can even swap from one to the next when they need to unless commanded otherwise. They're alive!!!!
