The Outer Planets: Legacy of Ganymede Station (TOPLOGS) by Darren Kearney by DarrenCearnaigh

[raw]
made by DarrenCearnaigh for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Use Cursor keys to move and interact. A simple story for you to explore in a pixel art depiction of the future.

Relax in GANYMEDE STATION's lush arberitum, lifeblood of the station and paradise away from earth. Or take a walk along the Vehicle Access Tunnel if you're into that kind of thing.

STORY

You are the chief administrator of GANYMEDE STATION. It is your responsibility to set which long term goal your station's AI CORE will optimize all of the stations Computer systems and Colonist work orders towards. Consider how to best serve the colony into the future.

Will you choose to turn your resources over to EXPAND the station, or will you chose to SUSTAIN the existing one into the long term? The choice is yours. The results are your fault. The children of the station may have a chance to change the path...

NOTE TO PLAYERS

Enjoy this little world I made over the jam. This is my first Ludum Dare entry. It very nearly did not make it!

I really enjoyed making this game for Ludum Dare 46. After you play the game you might want to check out the live videos of the development on twitch for a "behind the scenes" experience. Twitch: https://twitch.tv/mindcauldrongames

I'd love to add more to this little adventure to flesh out the world. More characters, music for each level of the station, and a more real game experience.

ABOUT

Made in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 46 - "Keep it Alive" using the wonderful, codeless Bitsy editor.

I used the Bitsy editor, without any hacks. You can make your own little worlds and adventures too! Here's a link - https://ledoux.itch.io/bitsy

I hope to make more in the future!

The graphics are nice but there is not much a game there, yet.

There is basically just one choice, and half the arrows don't work.

Then again, well done for completeing your first jam.

Nice concept, and a great intro. I would love to be able to explore this station through successive generations.

Great to see another Bitsy in here. I enjoyed your storytelling, and liked your detailed pixel art style. :)

Very nice intro and a cool world! The elevator system is very nice and clever.

It's likely a bit too ambitious for an Ludum dare game - there isn't too much gameplay yet(or it is perhaps a bit too hard to find?). There is a lot of potential in exploring this world though. Some music and sound would do wanders.
