StellarDrive (alpha)

was looking for a fun game to play with friends and found this gem in the making cant wait to see it evolve over time . Was real fun playing around in the galaxy with friends and just getting shot into space while being afk and coming back confuzed .

But i do have some questions and suggestions :

Q_1. will there be any automation or maybe some kind of electrical grid ?

Q_2. will there be any procedural generated structures or locations where one may find something they couldnt craft or just a ship or something in a building ?

Q_3. Painting or other materials to make the builds look better in the future ?

Q_4. will there be any goals ?

Q_5 will there be other galaxys in the future ?

S_1 . some kind of altitude meter to know how close to space one is .

S_2. sprinting and crouching 

S_3.some kind of bigger way to store fuel because (man ... those thrusters are some thirsty thrusters ) or if you are going to add electricity maybe some ion thrusters that are weaker but just need energy to func and would work better out of atmosphere 

I just stumbled across this game after looking into procedural asteroid generation and am having a blast. Keep up the awesome work!

as the other comments its a really fun base for a full game, its really nice with the phisics and the building, there is just one thing at the beggining you really cant find iron fast (apart from the starter crash site ofcourse), maby you could add a sprint thing so you can run around faster when you dont have a rocket. but overall its a really really great game.

you also could increase the iron spawnrates.

but its just such a nice game the building the gravity it just fits the style

I didn't do much research on the game before installing it, and I can't describe to you my excitement when I discovered for myself that I could go out into space to discover new planets, being able to design your own ship and send it out into space is excellent, I'll stay tuned, the controls seem perfect to me, they have their difficulty (mostly when you leave the atmosphere) but they don't become tedious. Thank you very much for this, and sorry if my English sounds strange, it is not my main language.

How can I support this project? I don't see a way to donate to it and I'm relatively unfamiliar with Itch.io's interface.

This game is way more fun than I first expected. The gravity physics make it feel so real, having to plan and adjust for momentum in a vacuum (Like in The Outer Wilds) makes building your own ships so indescribably satisfying. I have no doubt this is the skeleton for a great future sandbox game! Only thing I'm missing is keymapping, is there a config file I can edit to adjust my controls?

how do i use the debug settings?

idk how to mine asteroids every time i try i ether fly away and die or it won't let me mine it. 

I just created an account to tell you thank you. I really loved the game! the building system has so many posibilities! would like some way to attatch a base in any of the asteroids o some kind of waypoint to mark where I stablished my base! keep up the good work mate! cheers from Argentina!

I've played through Stellar Drive a few times now over the years, the latest time with my wife after convincing her to try it with me. It's exactly the kind of thing I can't wait to see more of! When you added co-op, I got so excited. Being able to share a ship with someone, where one of us can walk around the ship while the other pilots, is such an immense joy! Thank you for creating this!

I know you have grand ideas, and I know there will be plenty of updates, so I'm not too worried. I hope you don't lose your drive because this game is genuinely fun, and has tremendous potential. One day, having more things to do on the ship will make co-op play even more engaging. Maybe things like scanning for asteroids, plotting routes, diverting power to different ship systems... anything that allows crew-mates things to do during a trip.

But that said, I absolutely love what you have here, and I can't wait to see more! Keep up the amazing work, Curious Owl!

This game is great, I personally love the atmospheric scattering on planets, maybe in the future you will be able to implement volumetric clouds?

I think that would be a huge step up

great game but needs sprinting and more planets. It would also so be cool to have some land vehicles and maybe an enemy ai. 

I play on manjaro linux through proton, works well so far, I like it

Great game. I always wanted something like this, to travel through space and enjoy the planets viewn in first person. Probably there are more games like this but my shitty pc doesn't support them, so this one is great. I hope you continue the development of this game, I'm enjoying it.

Love the game, i died in space after spending an hour working on a good ship, i thin you should add player respawn for the ship in the research item (suggestion

It's a beautiful game, still a few bugs, but looking forward to the next updates

I just want to know if it is normal for the land not to show

I made this account just to post on this wonderful game. Firstly, amazing game. It is wonderfully made and I can see how much work must have gone in to this. All the systems are well polished, but I have been unable to use most of them. Why? Well, whenever I load into the world, there is the spawn area with a single tree. Nothing else. There is a floor, but it is untextured. Random bits of ground are clipped into the floor or stretched across the sky like a second asteroid belt. I would love to explore more, but with only one tree, I have on 3 fuel. Please let me know if this a problem on my end (my computer is not very good) or if there is anything I can do to fix it. Cheers, and have a good day!

I've tried to get into No Man's Sky on and off for 2 years, and I have just torn myself away from 3 straight hours of what I first mistakenly thought was merely a satire of the former. I was laughingly grateful at the simplicity of the resource system, and relieved at the lack of barrier to entry in the form of loading, tutorials, and handholding, and was soon chasing after a runaway jet engine on a plank. I later thrust myself upward to see how far I could reach without oxygen, surprised to see that there were details beyond this world. I've now visited each available planet. In such a simple environment, I've experienced several memorable moments of discovery.

Thanks.

the only issue ive encountered is just my ship tumbling over, me dying, and now i can never find my ship, but its still pretty damn good, i just like these types of games in general though so im a little biased.

Its a great game, do you have a patreon or anywhere where people could support you?

it's pretty good, do you think you will be adding more planets or have a full release?

Anticipation for seeing what all you've done for the update is really getting to me. Do you have any thoughts on an ETA for us? Even maybe a guesstimate?

its a great game, i really enjoy the building of the spaceship and flying, my only complaint is that its a bit difficult to get resources from the ateroids, other than that its really fun

Absolutely loving this. I truly hope you continue to develop on it. So far, I've already been playing for like 5 hours, and I'm not done yet! I definitely think there needs to be a clear "velocity vector" indicator, though. Trying to figure out exactly what my prograde and retrograde alignments are is certainly not easy in the current build.
