Outer Reach - LD38 by Sandman1294

Outer Reach A slightly different take on the theme than most, we felt small world could mean loneliness. The game is about a character embarks on a journey with most of humanity to venture from a dying Earth to find a new home for humanity, when disaster strikes and everything changes. It might not be much. But this was my first Jam. And we are pleased with the product.

Time constraints considered, it might have been better for there to be a bit more "game" in there as well, like some really simple resource management. Maybe you guys had some other ideas but ran out of time though. I understand. Really interesting concept and nice creepy atmosphere. Keep it up!
- You must have an option to click a button to go to the next dialogue box.
- sound i so feel like you are an astronault
- i visited all 30 planets anf my game is over hehe
1) Thanks I thought it would be nice
2)That was something I was going to add but ran out of time and energy to work.
3)Same as 2
4) I thought having some kind of end game would be good.
You need to rate way more games if you want to end up being ranked. Currently you have rated 7 games and you need to rate 20+ ideally ~30.
I'd like to offer a few points of critique that stood out for me:
- When making title text, always consider the background! I think light-coloured text would work better here.
- Whack up the resolution/tiling of the starfield by a few factors, I think it'd make a big difference
- I didn't notice if there was already, but a slight randomisation on even simple elements can add a lot of replayability.
Anyway, good luck with future games! =)
I did try to add a little bit of randomness when visiting new planets as well as the Planet Designations
I did realize that. Today was my first day off work in the last 2 weeks. So I did finally get a chance to play a ton of great games and rate them.
I really like the models for the spaceships.
It causes some pink/purple sh*t on objects (planets)
I had to deal with that too, and it can break any game...
Besides that, its awesome game! Continue doing more! And check mine ;)
