I wonder if some of these fail conditions could generate future encounters that could be the opposite of nastier, and instead give an opportunity to recover and self balance. Maybe they could be swingier than purely nastier.

It was all made in blenders compositor. I mostly followed this tutorial youtu.be/lyegQf-rbtw?... and then tweaked it to my liking after.

The textures on the ships or the whole VHS found footage effect?

This could be the little FMV that plays everytime you send your fleet to another planet XD

Question is, what game do you see whilst looking at this?

Just need to get a James Earl Jones soundalike to do an intense exposition dump over the footage and I'm set!

I know I put many comments, maybe 200 odd! But from what I could tell from the read through, the game feels promising and I'm looking forward to playing it! Its giving me mageknight vibes even though theyre mechanically quite different.

The power of bold colours and stripes at work!

Can I ask how you took those screenshot from in game? Was it emulated? It has such a vibe, being blurry and old school and blown out almost. Wondering if I can replicate that look in renders.

Archimedean Dynasty is what I think of. A modern take on that would slap!

Interesting! I've also thought doing a sort of space game but it's actually in a planet sized mega ocean would be a good fit for creating a more plausible "flight" model and have interesting terrain and "atmospherics" just because there would actually be a medium being moved in.

What are you cooking?

Stunning design!

Hell yeah!

Gorgeous ship designs!
