I believe you. And the bright ones may be rough to look at for a long time... But you have the complementary hues down right.

#screenshotsaturday We're making a 4X set in space. A new map and tech tree for every run, diplomacy, customizable ships and epic, entirely 3D combat with Newtonian physics.

This image has a pixel art style and depicts a magical portal set within a lush, jungle-like environment. The scene is bordered by trees and leafy plants, with dark and dense foliage in the background. The portal is encircled by stone blocks, some of which are overgrown with vines and moss, suggesting an ancient or forgotten area. There are ominous elements around the portal, like a coiled tentacle, a severed hand, and a large sword stabbed into the ground near a skull.

In the center of the portal is a yellow button labeled โ€œEnd Turn,โ€ with a gloved or armored hand hovering over it, appearing as though itโ€™s about to press the button. Text above the portal reads โ€œEnter the realm of...โ€ in a playful yet medieval-styled font. At the bottom of the image, the hashtag **#TurnBasedThursday** is prominently displayed

The overall vibe is fantasy-themed with hints of danger, mystery, and adventure.

Ephemeris has been under works for four years mostly as a solo project, but there's been help. In 2022 we started collaborating to sketch out the playable races of the game. Here's some old concept art. #indiedev #conceptart #gamedev

Based on looks alone, what do you think their gameplay buffs are?

A saturated screenshot of Ephemeris gameplay. It shows a battle of ships in space. A large, blue battle ship is in the center, swarmed by multiple small yellow ones, some exchanging laser beams. In the background, a damaged fighter propelled by a fiery tail.

Hey! We're working on Ephemeris, a 3D 4X space strategy game. You might think of Homeworld, Master of Orion and Stellarisโ€”but it's still its own combination of good stuff. It needs a little more love before it's complete enough for Early Access on Steam.
