An anatomy of a small ship.

September 22, 2023September 22, 2023 Produno

Whilst working on the atmosphere and gas systems i thought i should balance how i expect a small ship to look like, what components it would have and how much power and air it would need to be a fully functioning space ship.

Here is a ship with a generator, console, transponder, life support system, thruster and then all the cables, ducting and vents required for everything to work and keep the crew safe. I suspect these starting items will need to support at least 3 crew members but will be fairly inefficient once you start to build larger ships, meaning you will need to build different components and plan out how you will lay your cables, ducting and ventilation as your ship grows. This will be especially important when you consider things like maintenance and combat situations.

Three small ships showing their components.

Don’t forget you can wishlist SpaceSlog on Steam or the EGS.

July 20, 2023July 20, 2023 Produno

In this dev video we briefly ramble on about the atmosphere systems in SpaceSlog, amongst other things.

The atmosphere systems are now mostly done and our focus has been turned to Ai.

In this months development video we discuss upgrading to Godot 4, a few new features in the game and how many wishlists we have acquired over the last couple of weeks.

You can view the video below over on YouTube.

We have a new logo!

March 17, 2023March 17, 2023 Produno

Hey everyone, our previous logo was just a placeholder and something we never put much thought into. This week we changed that and created a new high quality logo. Below you can see some initial concepts we came up with.

Concept 1
Concept 2
Concept 3
Concept 4

This leads us onto some final concepts. You can probably see as you scroll through the gallery above how we reached our final concept.
We need to ensure our logo is memorable, easily recognisable and does not have too much visual noise. If you look at some of the top games at the moment, you will notice those logos are fairly plain and simple but we all recognise what game they represent.

Final concept
Concept chosen

Above you can see the final concept we decided to use and now i will show some of the coloured variants of that logo. It’s good to keep in mind that whilst the logo’s below look very good, we need to ensure the Icon is still visible at a 16×16 resolution for things like the executable, plus various other stuff used on Steam, Discord, or wherever else we need to use it. We also need to ensure the colours will work well on any background and that the text is easily readable.

Logo option 1
Logo option 2

And finally the logo option we finally decided on. So here i present to you our brand new logo. Please let us know what you think. Do you feel it represents the game well? Is it easily readable and memorable?

Mod Support in SpaceSlog | Devlog #2

November 30, 2022March 17, 2023 Produno

In this update video we focus on the importance of mod support in SpaceSlog plus various other ramblings.

Being the creator of a popular Game of Thrones mod i know creating mods can be time consuming and can be met with certain restrictions. Modding is fun, and for some the fun part can be overcoming such restrictions. For SpaceSlog we aim to remove as many of those restrictions as possible, allowing people to create the exact modification they wish.

My work within the modding scene over the last decade has also influenced the reasons why i want SpaceSlog to be as fully modifiable as possible. We go into these reasons a little bit in the video and show whats currently possibly. We also talk a little bit about what we expect for the future. Of course all of this comes down to the scope of the game and how long we can actually spend on development. Which also depends on how popular the game will be, or if at all.
