That&#8217;s amazing! And I already have some progress:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Environment is now done. Sky, drifting clouds, and flying islands are in place.<\/li>\n <li>Sky ship controls are done. You can fly across the sky and you can dock to flying cities.<\/li>\n <li>Trading is done. You can buy goods from cities and sell them back. Prices are not balanced yet, but there&#8217;s a difference between cities &#8211; some produce food and ore, others produce machines and goods, and the rest of them produce luxury and books.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>What&#8217;s next?<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Pirates. Steampunk is impossible without bad guys!<\/li>\n <li>Ship fuel. Here&#8217;s where we&#8217;ll have the &#8220;10 seconds&#8221; theme. You&#8217;ll have to buy &#8220;flight crystals&#8221; which power your ship, each crystal gives you 10 seconds of flight. If you&#8217;re out of crystals &#8211; you&#8217;re dead.<\/li>\n <li>Ship upgrades. There should be a reason to trade &#8211; you&#8217;ll be able to upgrade your ship.<\/li>\n <li>Goals &amp; story. I already have some ideas for this, but nothing solid yet.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Screenshot:<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2013\/08\/24\/progress-environment-controls-trading\/ld27-8\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-275974\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-275974\" alt=\"ld27\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ld27-300x233.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ld27-300x233.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ld27.jpg 499w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>Want to try it?
