Hehe I 've blown up my ship :D Nice Work. Very humorful notifications... I like the visualisation of the hangar... played it twice... nut do you know what? I've blown my shjip up again. I think this time I did nothing wrong... or did I?

I got a score of 2,450, is it good or not ? What does it mean ? :P

Nice game, a bit difficult to understand in the beginning, but well done ! I really like the notes about how workers killed themselves, very funny :D

One of the best UE4 projects I've seen in LD37. Great work!

Nice concept, fun gameplay, good take on the theme.

@Quetzakol:
Good question! I added a little table in the description to explain the score and how you got it!

Thanks for playing everybody :)

I really liked the models and the visual, it fells smooth. Also, the mechanics are really interesting, even though I kind of find a bug in the Biodome progress, it wasn't getting any progress even with lot of workers assigned to it. I did almost every possible upgrade to the spaceship ( execept by the Biodome).

Overall, I had fun with your game, nice work! :)

A very nice spaceship construction simulator! :)While the gameplay could have benefited from additional balancing, the game is very entertaining as it is. And I love the visuals!

The lab needs some serious workspace safety improvements, but then we would not have the very funny accident descriptions :)

After reach final day, I can't finish the game, because Next day was disable, and left days was 0.

I like that news, it was really funny :)

saiodin 2016-12-13 17:33

@HadikCZ
Yes, day 0 is the last day. I didn't have time to include a cinematic. The popup on the bottom left is showing your score at day 0.

@Lukbebalduke
I couldn't find a problem with the Biodome in my test, hopefully I can find that bug :)

Nice game overall, but I was really bad at it. Really liked the humor; really worked with this style of game.

Cool management game, I liked the funny flavor popups, actually made me read them rather than just scan for numbers hehe...

I'd be cool if the UI for research had tooltips for what didn't fit on screen.

maekeruu 2016-12-15 07:42

Is this game good?
YES!
I am amazed this was done by one person for 48 hours.. You did a great job! Management games are hard to plan out and this is full-packed with design and mechanics... it was all laid out well and the humor! xD
I give it a 5/5 overall
I'd play it again so i keep this one around

maekeruu 2016-12-15 09:49

Thanks for the updated version! This is like those types of games I'd play when I have time, I feel like there's more to it... So i'll keep a copy installed in my device to play some other time

Nice entry!
I like the management games like this!
Cool graphic and music.
Only at the end I found a little confusing what happened. I only saw a popup on the left sayin i mad 20xx points. After few seconds it disappeared. Maybe this could be a little more clear.
BTW a great game.
Well done!

This needs more work on UI. It looks like there are some data on left and right that are cut out in window mode. When switching between workers/research/task earlier panels should turn of because that make a lot of mess on screen when they are all turned on.

sundr0 2016-12-15 19:05

This was so great to build my own ship ! At least i past something like 10 days not knowing about the "research" part and asking why nothing was completing in some task bars XD But then i remembered the button :p

Great mastering of UE for 72hours aaaaaaand the global ambiance is damn fun ! Your comments on situation are terrific, i loved it XD

sundr0 2016-12-16 03:26

The fact you made it in 48 hours double the amount of greatness of this game :D Nice work again and sorry for the mistake ;p

mighty-buxx 2016-12-16 08:39

Good game, but need final scene.

saiodin 2016-12-16 15:56

@Ygogo:
Yeah, it does. I don't want to link it here, but if somebody looks for this game on itch.io there is an updated version with a proper score screen and an outro scene that contains the ship you built.

@xesenix:
You're correct, the UI can get cut off in certain resolutions. One of the things I didn't have time to optimize.

Cool concept. Always nice to see management games on a compo. I would like to see how the game would look with all that UI streamlined and able to see everything at a glance. The mood and humour are pretty nice. Good job!
