This shows the space probe orbiting a star<\/p><\/div>\n

I have successfully worked on my game, Space Prober, today! I’ve actually already got the core mechanic working, though it needs a lot of polish. The probe swings around through space and starts to orbit any planet it hits.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow’s work will be implementing planets, asteroids, battery usage and recharging, and otherwise getting the core mechanics working. Sunday will be for polishing, tuning, and making the game look and sound nicer!<\/p>\n

I’m already liking the swoopy feeling of slingshotting the probe around, and I can’t wait to get down to really making it feel right!<\/p>\n

Get some rest, everyone, and enjoy the jam!<\/p>\n

As usual, I’m cross-posting to my blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n
