One fun (and annoying to implement..) feature: allocating fuel between joined ships. From the HUD, you can divvy up fuel between the ships as you see fit and then split them off. You can also lock the allocation for any entry. #indiedev #gamedev

Been a minute, apologies! I've been scrambling to try and make the June #SteamNextFest. I didn't make it 🥲Next one in October for sure. Anyways, here's a shot featuring the WIP HUD #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Just some highly elliptical spacecraft trajectories for #screenshotsaturday. As always, if you like the idea of learning about orbital mechanics in a fun puzzle setting, wishlist Orbital Mechanic: store.steampowered.com/app/3395150/... #indiedev #indiegamedev

Regrettably, I decided to opt out of entry into Steam's NextFest - instead targeting the June event. Here's a conciliatory #ScreenshotSaturday, messing around with larger systems. At a certain system scale, I'll hit float precision issues. Ought to go double long term.. #indiedev #indiegamedev

Belated, illegal #ScreenshotSaturday on Sunday 💀 Progress through levels completing challenges - typically by rendezvousing with a target, or, in this case, achieving a trajectory passing through two regions. A ship's satisfying the objective by entering the bottom zone now #indiedev #indiegamedev

Alter your trajectories through manual burns or by pre-planned maneuvers - the former is on display here, ultimately sending a ship on a hyperbolic escape trajectory #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Using the "patched conic approximation," a many-body system is divided into several two-body systems, simplifying trajectories into deterministic ones. This is often pretty darn physically accurate - plus it allows for reliable time warp, or rewind even!
