The Aurora Project by doomista

[raw]
made by doomista for LD35 (COMPO)
--- Plot ---
You are a pilot of a spacecraft with the AI called Aurora in the ship computer. Your mission? Explore the universe, one solar system at a time. Don't bother about the energy bar being constanty drained one point at a time. When you'll die, your clone will take your place, with all of your memories and he'll be able to explore other parts of the galaxy.

--- Release notes ---
This game is far from complete. In fact, it's merely a tech demo. It was a practical attempt to make a 2.5D space sim. Please read the readme file before launching the game. I admit I overestimated complexity of this project.
If you like this demo, please follow the game's gamejolt profile and encourage me to actually finish this!

The program can't start because MSVCP140.dll is missing from your computer. This may be just me, but you may still want to take a look and check whether your game starts up properly.

I got this error, too. After downloading the DLL and putting it in the Bin folder, I got error 0xc000007b.

as said in the readme, you need Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable package (x86 i think). Game is compiled in the Visual Studio

It's ok. A few sound clips would've done a lot for me to feel like I'm in a spaceship. There's not much to do, but I liked just jumping around and shooting a few asteroids for a while.

It's a quite interesting idea. Of course, in this stage there is not really much to do. Also, you move quite slowly. It's of course more realistic and gives a feeling of empty space but I think it would be more fun, if you could speed up a little. Would also love to see movements in more than two dimensions (as you planned).
