I made a funny comic about game development. It is funny. Laugh.

So my life right now is just.

Onboarding, particularly in space games, is like conducting an orchestra and brother, I'm musically illiterate.

Anyway, let me hit this bong shaped like Buzz Aldrin and ramble about this a little more. I think a big issue with space games in general and why they don't do well is because they are probably the hardest genre to really get into and that's because every single space game pretty much has totally different control schemes.

Like think about it. You play any sort of first person game, doesn't matter if it's Lunacid or Gone Home or Ultrakill or that stupid investigation minigame in Warframe, the basic controls for that shit controls the same way. You'll know how to strafe and move the camera and maybe jumping or crouching or going prone might be different, same with the gunplay or whatever, but the basics of controlling your self in that space is universal. It's the same for third person games and all that.

But space games can be vastly different. Compare Starfield (yes we're going to use that example, shut the fuck up) to Elite Dangerous to Freelancer to Warframe again to whatever and even just the act of moving the camera and ship around can be completely different. Even if the movement system is intuitive and plays well (Everspace 2), that doesn't mean that everyone is gonna pick up on it because who the fuck knows what they're familiar with.

Our multiplayer beta is now public! Mostly to stress test servers and expand the number of people playing, because I want to see just how much our master server can take before exploding. To celebrate this inevitable exploding, the game is also on sale!
