Old Light - Build your empire across a galaxy
Old Light is a slow strategy game in a shared galaxy. Build a system, scout neighbours, send fleets, and return to see what changed while you were away.

The problem with my game is that the people who are used to this genre of games get it instantly. But those unfamiliar are very confused. I am already working on better onboarding, but how do I make it fun for all players? #gamedev #indiegames #buildinpublic #pbbg #oldlight
New feature in Old Light! A map already existed on the website, but it's now also available in the game. And I've added an option to search. #gamedev #indiegame #buildinpublic #pbbg #oldlight

I've been building a strategy game called Old Light for a while now. Here are some fun insights. A thread #gamedev #indiedev #buildinpublic
32 active players in the last 24 hours! I am beyond excited about the fact that people are actually playing my game. Thanks all! #gamedev #indiegame #pbbg #buildinpublic
You take over a galaxy a few minutes at a time. I built Old Light for people who want something slow to poke at between tasks instead of a game that eats your whole evening. oldlight.io #idlegames #incrementalgames #indiegames #strategygame

Having your vanguard destroyed in Old Light is always such a big oof. Expensive ship and takes long to build. Protect it well if you're sending it somewhere! 141 vanguard destroyed in the last 7 days #gamedev #indiegame #buildinpublic #pbbg #oldlight #games
New in Old Light - Message your neighbours! While slowly getting closer to the alliance feature, I have now finally added a way to contact your neighbours. What is an MMO without the ability to talk to each other. Team up and fight a common enemy or backstab your neighbour #gamedev #indiegames
"The best defense is a good offense" is probably what this guy is thinking
Today is knocking every previous day out of the park when it comes to visitors to Old Light! And the day isn't even over yet.
Gained over 10 new players in my game today! May not sound like a lot to you, but going from 20 to 30 in a day is crazy! 50% increase.
There is a huge fleet already scattered throughout the galaxy. Love to see my game grow! #gamedev #indiegames #pbbg #buildinpublic
Just a start for a surprisingly addicting system. Looking to see how the game play changes, especially with eventual alliances or border consequences, etc.
