KNOWN ISSUES
-Artifitial gravity inside the ship has bugs, we had to force the ship stops when you don’t drive it. When an asteroid hits the ship the player doesn’t stick to the floor of the ship and it could make you bunny hop.
What makes a space exploration game interesting
One thing that can make space exploration games interesting is the environmental storytelling, scattered artifacts, abandoned stations, or unusual geological formations can tell stories without massive questlines. What happened in this sector? Why was it abandoned?
AsterVoid is jam game, therefore we didn’t have much time to dedicate to storytelling, but beneath the gameplay lies a little narrative: you navigate a sector littered with space rocks that once formed a thriving planet—one that was fractured from within when its inhabitants’ obsessive mining for the precious mineral voidolite triggered a catastrophic collapse. Now, these floating remnants serve as both warning and opportunity as you follow in their ambitious footsteps.
