OtdP - Interface and part of done ... we are entering the home stretch


Ok, we now have some resources to be managed/balanced on the ship:

  • Energy ... blue: Will be needed for the ship to move (not used up in this version). Once energy runs out, the ship will be stranded and your run will be over.
  •  Crew ... grey: The crew is needed to run the ship. If you run out of crew-members you are done and the game will be over.
  • Resolve ... orange: The crews resolve. Throughout the journey the crew will lose resolve. When the crew has 0 resolve left, there will be a mutiny and your journey is over.
  • Resources ... green: Food, oxygen, technological equipment etc. This resource will be used up over time at a rate depending on the number of crew on the ship. It can also be used for other things (e.g. repairs of your warp-core). If you run out of resources, the crew will start to starve (resolve is lost at a higher rate and crew-members are gonna die).

The HUD on top shows the ship status as well as the current position of your ship within the galaxy. You can now also "explore" planets, which will basically give you a random encounter and some decisions for you to make.

Adding proper gameplay will be the next step: which means to add a bunch of more encounters, make resources change over time and add a little story. Lets see how this will turn out ^^
