How to find an ending in Over/Under

Added building restrictions to #overcloud so you have to be careful about planning your ship out and where to place engines and helm, etc. That way you don't have the engine exhaust plowing right into the back of your ship.
On second thought... maybe I should just make materials flammable.

we announced our game today with a teaser in the nintendo direct
Introducing STARSEEKER, a brand new game from the developers of ASTRONEER.
STARSEEKER is all about the joy of discovery and the camaraderie that emerges from an evolving, cooperative experience. We hope you'll enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it... sometime in 2026.

something people don't talk much about in this era of "publishers expecting a near-finished game before investing" is
games are being made sub-optimally in order to speed-run vertical slices/convincing demos
instead of finalising systems then building content, you have to make content alongside 1/

Quick construction of ship equipment, and a drive around the #overcloud area while sheltering from the storm in the cabin, which occludes weather audio.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
