In space, no one will hear you scream, he he he

Still a lot of work ahead, but making these space environments sure is fun.

Long time since I posted in #screenshotsaturday, but the day has come, and it brings space dolphins and cosmic whales, it brings astronauts fighting for survival at the edges of the twilight zone.

Simple way to estimate your own game potential:

Go check your Steam library for games you actually bought and see if you have something similar.
In other words, ask yourself if you would actually pay money for your creation.

I miss my old setup.
Unfortunately, I had to move away from the bedroom because I found it hard to disconnect from work.

Still better than before, during Chromosome Evil development, I had the setup in the kitchen ๐Ÿ˜ค

I forgot to mention that some also have software costs, but for us we bypass those since we used a custom engine in-house so far + I make art in windows paint

Costs of Indie Game Dev Life.

For anyone thinking developers are rich, think again, it's a struggle until you hit big ... IF you hit big.
