The Brit Ibrahamica is a syncretic belief made from the three abrahamic religions, focusing on its commonalities rather than differences.

It gain popularity during the colonisation of the solar system around SY 2100, as it was a time of great kinship among humanity.

In Wanderlust, hands represent the player.
I still need a few more to complete the grid.

If you do or know somebody that has a hand that is not represented (Skin shade, prosthetic, nails, etc), please send me a DM. I would love to include it in the game.

Too much sci-fi is dystopian.
Writing a better future.

The Prometheus Foundation have Chapters all across the Ruhevolk and their canteens are known to take advantage of the local cuisine to feed their workers.

Today's menu on the Tycho Chapter is meatballs with mashed potatoes and lingonberry sauce.

In Spanish there is a saying: "Cuando el burro se aburre con el rabo mata moscas" (When the donkey is bored, kills flies with the tail).

I guess gamdevs do pointless design passes instead.

I have been playtesting Wanderlust quite a bit lately and got very annoyed about the blueprint system.

It required to much menu hopping to see the required materials, so I've implemented a favourite system.

The Prometheus Foundation has Chapters all across the Ruhevolk.

They are dedicated to the betterment of humankind through an unrestrained exploration of science.

Depicted below is the lobby to the Tycho Chapter.

Collecting space dust seems like a pretty isolating experience until you switch on your radio and the voice of Blanca from bous connects you back to humanity.

Mondays are the best day to park your ship next a blue giant and enjoy some tunes.

In Wanderlust, the player can choose a hand to represent them in game.

@cuatrojosz.bsky.social has kindly donated theirs.

If you have a cool looking hand and wouldnt mind it being on the game, please DM me a picture of your left hand making a fist (like this one!)

Too tired for a "corpse run"?

Namaste Cloning has you covered with their new Body Retrieval services.

Thanks to the Fabricator technology, the DYI culture on the Ruhevolk is thriving.

The Agora, located on Novo Kalmar's capital Toms, is the biggest market for blueprints and engineering exchanges outside of the Schicksal system.

After the Mars Quorum, The Third Spanish Republic brought their spaceship building expertise and enhanced it with Ruhetek, making them the most popular manufacturer on the Ruhevolk.
From the trusty Málaga IV to the hauler beast Toledo X, there is a model for everyone.

The Roros Mining Guild does not have any official playlist but most miners feel that Rock and Roll is most fitting genre for blasting asteroids.

Recent studies show that Ruhevolk citizens that gather Helium 3 daily are 43% less stressed that those who dont. The effect is explained by the mesmerizing sounds and mild focused task.

Grab a cup of coffe and scrape some space dust to enjoy reduced cortisol levels.

Even with advancements granted by Ruhetek, planetfall is still rather risky.

Better have a good Cloning Contract before venturing forth.

There is more to a Wanderlust than exploring and completing contracts.
Sometimes you just want to float next to a red dwarf, switch on your radio and chill to some original music.

Shoutout to past week me who was a fool for thinking all the system of Wanderlust were done.

Want to land on planet without a Space Elevator? Get yourself and Landing Pod and enjoy the thrill of reentry.

The Leap technology is the crown jewel of the Ruhetek, enabling FTL travel within the whole Milky Way.

Load a pattern or create your own, provide a canister of Xenon and get ready to explore the galaxy.

I have spend a good chunk of my morning implementing this little bop to show the player that the right element is scrollable.

Is it an optimal use of my dev time? Probably not but I would like to believe all these details contribute to the whole package.

If you develop for the @play.date and have recently acquired a @usetrmnl.com, it is on the terms of contract that you make a post combining the two.

I dont make the rules but I will happily comply.

The Roros Mining Guild is a cooperative helping workers to be competitive on the galactic rare earth market.

Literally: Mine your own business!
