Spacethumper 2

That is an intriguing idea, I’ll have to keep that in mind once I get to balancing combat. As for different characters playing different ways, I have plans on making them different, yes. Right now I have three playable characters planned out, including the pilot.

This actually would make sense, why wouldn’t buildings explode from being destroyed?
Depending on planning, you could use buildings as the expensive equivalent of land mines.
Reactors would be highly volatile, whereas solar panels would be the safest form, steam generators being the midpoint.
Miners could increase in volatility per upgrade.
Let’s get some explosions going.
Though, the only thing that would be wasted would be energy/crystals to replace the building.
Maybe… an internal/external storage to go with the platforms? Those would produce the biggest booms.
Also, perhaps a rubble system from scrapped/destroyed buildings, or use them as building material for replacement at a penalty of quick fixing a problem, increasing volatility.
Later down the pipeline… automation.

… Kind of elaborated on the idea of more game mechanics.

The size up feature was really great, hope to see it again expanded with extra features and dialogue. It would be preety cool to also include a counter for real time weight just to give us a better understanding. Some extra save files will also be great since I usually keep 1 for each new size or difficulty. Can’t wait for news.

I feel like automation is definatelly the way to go in this type of genre game.

Very exciting, I personally am personally looking forward most to more of Sen, it was always fun to see them banter with the pilot. I’m hopeful to see them have some sort of more direct involvement of gameplay, though completely understanding if they don’t.

I definitely love the way she complained about the weight in the first game, stuff like that, descriptions, all stuff that would be great for the second game.

I honestly both agree and disagree at the same time. Yes, she could make fun comments like the first one, but maybe she’d complain at first, then start to say she was getting used to it, and maybe even like it just a little. Like, um… at first it’d be like:
“I never thought I’d have to do this again… I’m filing an enormous complaint if I get off this planet… One that’s almost as big as my backside…”
But then go to:
“You know, once you get used to it, all this extra weight isn’t so tough to pull around! And what’s that one song from that one planet? ‘I Like Big Butts and I Cannot Lie’?”

I don’t think you can force her to suddenly be so open about thinking that the weight is fine.
From the last game she didn’t even once hint at maybe thinking it wasn’t so bad; she always complained about size, weight, and hunger. The only thing she did say something good about was the fact that this battery/energy system was a decent solution compared to having nothing.

Having her see this as anything more than an ok-ish idea would be character assassination.

I dunno if I’d go so far as character assassination, but going the total 180 with her opinion on the fat feels wrong. At most her opinion is going to change from “this fucking sucks” to “just part of the job”.

Well, fair enough, but I still think it’d be funny if she mentioned “I Like Big Butts” as a bright side for if she couldn’t get back to her old size.

I am not good with English so I write this with the help of a translator I think if you want to put that you put it but if you do not want you can put an option where you would put chronological comments and comment that I would have just put instead of the previous ones I only give an opinion I am not layers of imagining how difficult it can be to program in itself a game and I would like to be layers to help you but I don’t know anything about programs so I only give this opinion

If I’m understanding you correctly you’re asking for an option to make reply comments appear under the comment it’s replying to rather than everything in strict chronological order, in which case I would suggest you bring that up with the forum admins.
If it’s out of order I usually quote whatever I’m replying to for clarity by highlighting the comment and pressing “quote” while I’m writing my reply.

Will there be humans and other species?

1 Like

Yes to other species, no to humans. All the additional characters will also be furry-leaning aliens. There will be support for adding custom characters though.

Will there be alien species based on real life animals, or are they all going to be purely alien based like the main character is?

Purely alien, I want to keep that pretty consistent.
