Everything is fine with us.
There have been several interruptions to my work in the past month, a mix of good and bad. All is well now.
Here is a bit of a status update. I am probably repeating some things.
My focus right now is on finalizing the solo play version for Steam, called Hazeron Starship. Steam has given their approval. All I need to do now is finalize the software and push the Coming Soon button, which starts a two week countdown before the software is actually available on Steam.
Instead of rushing to push the button, I decided to finish a few more things to add more content to the game. Two things would add a lot.
Completion of the pirate empires only requires spacecraft and building designs; then they will become active. That will add more variety to pirates. They are ranked for difficulty, using increasingly powerful ships and building larger bases. Only the two easiest pirate empires are currently active.
More story would be helpful at the beginning, to get the player started and to tie together the current story pieces. Then the addition of a few more chapters at the end, to continue the story, would extend the solo play game a little longer. My goal is to eventually produce more story content every month. More story means more time before a player catches up to the writer(s) as we create more story.
Merry Christmas everyone.
