This looks really nice. I like the uncluttered visuals, and from what you've said the gameplay will also be both original and a based small, focused set of mechanics.

Hope you do get back on to this project!
Thanks! I'm actually starting to work on this on weekends, since I work on Cloudface in the week.

This doesn't look like much but everything is going smoothly porting sOlar to Unity so far:

Thanks for the offer but this is very much a solo project, at least where the actual game is concerned (I might need a musician and artist to help with bits and pieces later on).

As for continuing, as soon as I have some free time from Cloudface I'll be getting straight back to sOlar!

I'm glad you guys like it! I've been really busy with my assignments lately but I'm looking forward to being able to get back to work on this game.

Here's a quick GIF of everything orbiting. It looks a lot nicer at full resolution and 60fps.

It's going a lot faster than it would be ingame, just so I can show the effect off!

I've done quite a bit of the porting so far, and I'm not really having any trouble. when I don't have other stuff to deal with I'll probably get through the porting in a few days

no video at the moment, sorry Sad there's not too much to see right now anyway. I'll post one as soon as I can though

astrolabe is a cool name, so's azimuth (zenith is too, but it has like 60 million results on google) I'll have to think about those two, thanks!

I've held off on making this devlog since I wanted to actually have a playable alpha ready before I talked much about my game, but then I thought fuck it and just made it since I need feedback Noir

I'm making a space rts game where you colonise/invade planets (think Sins of a Solar Empire) but with fast unit combat (think Eufloria) and lots and lots of units at once. the planets and stars have orbits that they follow, and ships can only jump from one gravity well to another and have limited jump ranges so sometimes you'll have to wait for a planet to come closer before you can jump your ships to it

because I'm planning on it being a fast-paced game, I want to make the actual empire management as simple as I can so players don't get bogged down managing stuff while they should be shooting things.

here's some screenshots (you can click on them to go to the bigger versions):

oh, also the name definitely has to change. suggestions so far from a portmanteau generator are "orbitch," "orbitterness," and "orbitwise," sooo...

I'm busy with my final year uni work at the moment but I'll be back to working on this full-time in a couple of weeks hopefully

it shouldn't be too hard to port over, do you have a video of this so far?

and for your name issue, have you looked at the names azimuth, zenith or astrolabe?

So far I've done a rough draft of this in python and opengl, but I'm going to port it over to C#/Monogame so I won't have too much trouble with getting it onto tablets if I want to.
