Hey! I tried playing, but I couldn't get it to run properly... I went into the "Engine/Binaries/Win64" and ran the program, and was greeted by a window saying it couldn't find the content folder. I copied the content folder in LD42 to Engine, and that made the error go away, but when the game launched it came up with a black screen... am I doing something wrong?
Thanks @mjgood for reporting my bad upload (and sorry for your time loss). The game exe was missing from that zip! I uploaded a new zip w/all files, so it should be straightforward after extracting to a folder.
Ah! I can play it now!
Oh wow that got really hard toward the end.
For the first 7 or 8 launches I was like "wait, this doesn't feel too hard... what's the grab here?"
Then I noticed the requirements for each launch section and the time started going quicker... dang.
I like the idea! Fantastic work on getting it finished as far as you did! :)
The game feels really 1-dimensional right now. You could add in audio, better graphics, picking options with keyboard keys and a better user interface, and it wouldn't change that there isn't very much depth. Perhaps you have some ideas already for where you're gonna go next with this, but in case you need some inspiration... maybe adding more seats as the game goes on, adding more launch goals with various rewards for successful missions, adding in external things like budget / politics / earth's current location in space, adding ways the characters interact with each other to make the whole more or less than the sum of its parts, etc. could all make things more interesting strategy-wise.
All in all nice work so far
Nice mechanics! It does feels like a proof of concept and I would say quite successful one :) with graphics, sounds and polish could be a fun little mobile game!
