So I’ve been working part time for a few years on a sci-fi themed game called Veridian Expanse. It’s a bit of a mashup of exploration, metroidvania, and crafting games where you are trapped inside of an asteroid. You can download the latest dev build from itch.io for Linux, Windows, and Raspberry Pi 4:

I’ve been making dev builds for a while, but I’m starting to get more serious about getting feedback. Also… as a solo dev I have no idea how to tell people about my game, so I’m starting in cozy places like Lemmy and Mastodon. :) Anyway, if people want to give it a go and let me know what you think I’d be super grateful. :D

Fun Fact: The game’s source is GPLed! I’m guessing 99% of people don’t care, but I don’t see any downsides of doing this when I don’t plan to use DRM anyway. I can’t imagine it will hurt sales. On the other hand, maybe someone will use it to play the game on OpenBSD, Haiku, or some OS that doesn’t exist yet.
