Galactic Merchant

Thank you for reporting bugs using in-game form. They helped me to fight over my writer's block. I'd like to let you know that I receive them on #Asana and I keep working on them. #indiegamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame

Improved profit estimation algorithm for trading routes. Finding option which yields the best profit is now easier. #indiedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame

New trajectory system allows to intercept other ships - if you plan on earning money on piracy this is good news for you. #indiedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame

In 1543 #Copernicus replaced complicated deferent-epicycle celestial movement model with much simpler heliocentric model. Today, I replace complicated #Bezier-based celestial movement model with much simpler radial-lerp model. #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiedev

Merchants, who seek high, but risky profits and don't care much about their reputation, probably will be interested in gaining access to black market. #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Scrolling finally done right. #indiegames #gamedev #indiedevs #UI

New animation with hexes on loading cargo. #indiedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame

For several hours I was trying to understand why a shader cannot produce uniformly colored hexes just to discover that what I'm seeing was actually an optical illusion. #indiedev #indiegames #gamedevelopment #Illusion

Anti-spaceship "Pilum" missiles is not something commonly used by merchants. Rather something they try to avoid when doing shady deals. #IndieGameDev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Found a way to do static check of parameters for textual messages. We should have less mistakes in game content in future. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Doing multi-galactic business is hard? Then, why not become a space pirate? #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #ScreenshotSaturday

Would you sent a trading ship to rescue survivors in space? What if you need to secrafice your cargo and your company is barely profitable? #gamedevelopment #indiegames #indiedev

Early version of dialogue messages. How about negotiating a deal with other traders? #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Important breakthrough: interstellar travels. First freighter left Mu Herculis. Trading between star systems should be possible soon. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Space travels involve a lot of trigonometry. #indiedev #IndieGameDev #math

After updating #unity version, screen settings dialog before running the game was gone, so we implemented one as ingame settings. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Tired of micromanaging? Just assign units to trading routes and they will sort out all the logistics. We will be releasing this feature soon. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

We are at @DevGAMM showcase tomorrow. You are invited to visit us if you have an opportunity. There will be updated demo with new features. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev
