Funorbit is officially available in Early Access! After a long time working on the game, I’m very happy to finally make it available for everyone to play. Early Access is only the beginning. The current version includes the core planet and launching experience, and I plan to continue expanding the game with more space gameplay, new places to explore, customization, stations, animals, monsters,…
Join me for a live look at Funorbit, a 2D physics-based space survival and exploration game where you wake up in an abandoned lab, gather resources, repair technology, and work your way toward launching into orbit. This stream shows the current demo version during Steam Next Fest, including survival systems, crafting, exploration, gravity-based movement, rocket progression, and some of the long…
Funorbit is still in development, and it will continue to be in development for a long time. This is not a small game for me. The vision behind Funorbit is much bigger than simply releasing a finished version as soon as possible. I want to keep adding the mechanics, features, systems, content, and story that I believe the game deserves. There is a lot I want to build, both on planets and in spa…
I started to think it may be worth working on a free demo. It make sense.I want people to understand what the game is about, collect some feedback and hopefully get some attention from the community. So in the past 10 months I have been working solely on the game mechanics, completely neglecting the backstory, though I had some ideas in the meantime. So I think it is time for me to start workin…
Must sound counter-intuitive but working on the pixelart graphics, making sure they look as perfect as possible and that animations are well transitioned, is the most time consuming task by far. You could spend 8 consecutive hours improving a spritesheet and the results are diminishing compared to programming new features. But it is always worth polishing. In the last few days besides that poli…
I've made significant improvements to in-game navigation to enhance situational awareness and control. A new radar system provides clearer, more instantaneous detection of nearby objects, while a predictive curved trajectory line now visualizes your ship's future path, dynamically influenced by both gravitational pulls and player-applied thrust. These adjustments make planning maneuvers more in…
I've been spending a lot of time on the Save Game feature. This is because I believe players deserve better, and not being able to store their progress as part of the first release is a failure. Players will spend hours playing it, especially when travelling through planets, so losing your progress would be a waste of time and a disappointment for me and for those who would buy this game. This…
So I just published the "Coming Soon" page in Steam, which is a big step for me and Funorbit to start being known in the videogames world and indie community. Nevertheless, there are still things that need to happen in order to go from "Coming Soon" into a release date. Among those are the save game feature, more base building crafting tools and infrastructure, a nice tutorial and perhaps more…
