I just started trying to mine, how do I open the cargo bay doors? EDIT: I just read the dev blog, got it.
I bought this months ago and played it for no more than 20 minutes, deleted it for one reason or another but decided to give it another try yesterday, and I'm really glad that I did. It's fantastic.
Thanks, glad to hear it. A handful of players have beaten the game so far, which is a huge feat of accomplishment given how difficult the latter story missions are. So let me know when you beat it.
Out of curiosity, what made you name a star system "Nova Scotia"? I'm from Nova Scotia so just wondering the context.
I name a few of them after cities or regions that I like. The idea is that those systems were colonized by survivors from that particular locality on Earth. It's also far out, kinda out of the ways, its a clean agricultural planet & a tourist attraction.
My dev subscription with Apple expired and I've spent all my budget on Star Nomad II so currently I cannot pay Apple to renew it, yet. SNII is in the final stage of development, hopefully later on it'll do well, enough to pay all the bills.
$149 USD. I'll renew it soon, just wanted save some funds to ensure SNII development goes smoothly (ie, I still have no music/sounds & looking up some composers, they ain't cheap!).
I wish Apple could cut you a little slack. Maybe you need to setup a small Kickstarter campaign to get you through this period. I could to help you setup something if you need help. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing but I'm sure I could figure it out.
Thanks, it's a great community here! I thought about KS and other crowd funding but I dislike the idea of asking people to risk their money on my dreams. I prefer to risk my own, I have faith it'll turn out well, I back myself with my savings. I'll renew the Apple Dev next month as I get a clearer picture of the final expenditures for SNII (Info @ https://halfgeekstudios.wordpress.com/star-nomad-ii/). Cheers all.
It's back! Thanks all for the great camaraderie. Back to working on the dynamic Conquest AI for SNII.
A major blog entry regarding the Universe of Star Nomad 2 and how player action, big or small have a direct consequence. It's coming together very well. Soon!
Hi guys, it's nearing completion so I've launched the Steam Greenlight process. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGP2mn6cd_w Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=513945382 Hopefully it passes Greenlight, I will wrap up the PC build then start work on the iOS port (it shouldn't take me too long).
So Touch Arcaders, while I wait for the upcoming Star Nomad 2, what are some other similar space sims? I can't seem to find anything beyond the older Star Nomad Elite, SpaceCon and Galaxy on Fire 2.
