It's taken much longer than expected, but the update for the new transportation system is finally live!

Global storage is out and supply lines are in! (All while staying away from too much micromanagement!)

There's something deeply satisfying when you can replace a system with the change of single line of code.

Redoing my range indication has been on my todo list for a long while. Today it finally happend 🥳

Not sure how to feel about this email. They wanted to make sure they weren't getting screwed over by the people who lied about how they'd use game keys. 😅

I mean... Okay... Hope they enjoy the game. 🤷‍♂️

Here we go! Today's the day. After 3 years of off and on work, Deep Space Directive is in Early Access!

It's a scary day, but an exciting day.

Feels amazing to have folks speak kindly about my game.

Deep Space Directive releases in a little over a week! 🤯

Plenty of times I didn't think the project would make it. I learned a lot along the way. Feels good - even if there's a lot more to do.

Also check out the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/2510180/...

It always seems like a good idea to add more Steam achievements until I have to make icons for them...

They aren't perfect. They aren't amazing. But they are done!!

I really didn't like using a dropdown to change building production. On so many layers it just didn't work.

So I redesigned it. Now players get a popout menu with a ton more info. #gamedev #indiegamedev

@oldgameraj.bsky.social Another Boise dev! I knew there were more folks out there.

Having some fun and slowly creeping towards an early access build. #gamedev #indiegamedev #ScreenshotSaturday

A player suggested adding a search feature to the (procedural) tech tree. Seemed like a mighty good suggestion. So I did it.

I've been away from my project for a few weeks due to family stuff. It feels so good to be back at it.

I had needed a break after getting ready for Steam Next Fest. I definitely got one. 🙂

Ha ha! The joy of distracting yourself with moving lightings. I should go make dinner.

Having more fun with particles and awaitable functions. Gives me flashbacks to multi-variable calculus class :)

Ha! All you folks with your pretty #screenshotsaturday images. It's Saturday so I'm staring at my todo list! :)

Playing around with @unity.com new awaitable functions and moving particles. Was able to move the math calculations to a second thread - cutting the performance hit on the main thread to 25%. Not too shabby. 👏👏👏

There's something deeply satisfying with removing allocations and seeing the GC drop in the profiler.

Still got a way to go, but slowly chipping away :)

Wow! With Unity 6 my benchmark save file went from 50+ fps to 90+ fps. No fancy optimization needed. Out of the box it just went faster!

I'm curious, how do people handle maintaining a demo build in their projects? Separate project? Different branch? Separate scenes? Some other magic?

I've been using different branches, but its getting messy. My game is only 2 scenes - most of the content loaded at runtime.

First post here! (Got say it's a breath of fresh air here!)

Figured I'd share what I've been working on the last few days :)
