You can play Nova Squadron's demo on Steam (and it doesn't normally look this janky, I took this video from a very unstable dev branch!)

So I made a promise to a couple of people in the Discord server for @yoyoyollie.bsky.social's #DeliveryMustComplete.

The promise was that this weekend, I'd put a hat on a plane (long story)

so here you go.
Plane in a hat.

We've just released the #NovaSquadron 0.4.1 hotfix, updating to that Unity patch you may have heard about recently.

We also managed to fit in some controller support improvements - if you've had problems before, please give this a try!

A new button coming to #NovaSquadron 's main menu lets you boot up your in-universe PC (this'll make sense in a few months, trust me!)

Your desktop looks like this by default.

#gamedev #indiedev #novasquadron

A screenshot of how Jupiter currently looks behind the scenes in Nova Squadron, with developer tools enabled. A bunch of holographic 'pins' of a wide range of colours, none of which are visible in-game, are stuck into it. There's a reason for these, I swear.

here's a completely normal behind-the-scenes for you:
The in-game render (bottom-left) is showing the contents of the scene directly above it.
These two things are the same, just from different viewpoints.

meanwhile, in the #NovaSquadron writing room with @crowwmonarch.bsky.social

A screenshot of a Discord message from Nova Squadron's writer:
'i descend from the sky as writer goddess
i say nothing, i simply hand you a folded note before ascending back to the peak of writer mount olympus
you unfold the paper to find only two words, words that shall ring across history as the great prophecy delivered from the goober on high
"gay women"'
