Thank you to everyone who backed Orion's End on Kickstarter. You're all amazing. Unfortunately it didn't reach the goal, but that doesn't mean the game's development will stop. I'm just looking at other strategies. #videogames #indiegames #thankyou

Kickstarter Ends in 100 minutes! Don't back it! Just take the opportunity to try out the demo while it's still available.

To help people get a glimpse of more gameplay quicker, I've tweaked the demo to allow new players to launch into space sooner. #videogames #indiegames

Thousands of procedurally generated planets, towns, and residents, but only one speeder ... and it's yours. Zoom zooooom!

I've been working frantically on making improvements to the demo of Orion's End based on player feedback, to upload a new build. DONE! Now it's time to sleep. #videogames #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

The most challenging thing about being a solo dev of a sandbox space life sim is the playtesting. There's thousands of planets to make deliveries to. I can't get to all of them. #indiegames #videogames

Another day, another patch note. Added space stations to uninhabited systems, so you are less likely to be stranded without warp fuel. Also controls are a lot tighter now. #indiegames #videogames

So, I launched a Kickstarter and I've spent the whole first week patching the demo instead of promoting it. That's a recipe for success. Anyway, so here's Orion's End - a life sim in a massive galaxy. #indiegames #videogames

I spent Saturday trying to get the native build of Orion's End working on Linux. I thought I had it too, but it just wouldn't run. Aaargh. Tomorrow. #linuxgaming #videogames #pixelart

If you're going to make multiple warp jumps - plan ahead. If you run out of warp fuel, you've got a long flight ahead of you to the nearest inhabited star system. #screenshotsaturday #videogames
