Post feature Report RSS Introduction to Stardust Tycoon

This game is a 2D sandbox space game, inspired by the original "Frontier Elite". I've taken some liberties regarding the gameplay, but overall, you're a space pilot and can choose your own destiny!

Development

The game is currently in development and will be released on Steam when it's good and ready. I'm working on it alone and use whatever spare time I have, to polish and adding new features. I'm using HacknPlan as a project planner and have planned with 6 milestones for the complete project. I'm currently on the end of the first milestone, with the second being building and releasing a small demo.

I'm also actively updating a devlog on TigSource Forums.tigsource.com so feel free to drop by and give me a comment :)
