They are coming for me lucky charms! Always love the chaos of new universe starting. Game is pr0game.com, free offshoot of oGame that captures the pre-P2W atmosphere. #browsergames #endp2w

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.
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.

Enjoying one of the last somewhat cool days before we hit the mid 90s F next week. Not as much fun to burn things then...
Old Light update: the NPCs got a brain transplant. Some NPCs are a bit more offensive, other defensive. They actively move fleet to where they're important. And will actively send reinforcements if you attack them. Smarter neighbours tougher galaxy. oldlight.io #gamedev #indiegame #buildinpublic
P2W is the death for niche game genres. If it worked, there wouldn't be so many people recreating old favorites carving the p2w out (pr0game), or starting new projects like oldlight.io
Old Light - Build your empire across a galaxy
A slow strategy game played in a shared galaxy. Build a system, scout your neighbours, send fleets, and come back to find out what changed while you were gone.

Someone said that Elon Musk looks like a face floating in a jar in a horror movie and I can't say that I disagree.
Smoothed out a few smaller issues today. Shipped nothing large, but shipped non the less. Coming weak I will aim to add a few bigger things again to the game. Stay tuned. ---- Try out Old Light here: oldlight.io #gamedev #indiegame #browsergame #pbbg #buildinpublic

NPCs were clearly watching the countdown on newbie protection XD. Hostile fleets inbound the MOMENT it dropped :D. Love it. Join the fun: oldlight.io #indiedev #oldlight
Today was a beautiful day to not be working on my game. So nothing new! Still plenty of room in the galaxy for new players to create their own empire. Interested in this? oldlight.io #gamedev #indiegame #devlog #pbbg #buildinpublic
I think Steam should reduce the cut they take of games (shit is almost all profit) and structure their fee like a progressive tax based on sales volume - so you take like 1% of an indie game that sells 10,000 and 20% of a $70 game that does iron man numbers. That'd help make things more sustainable
17 active players in the last 24 hours! It's not much, but it's a good start! #gamedev #indiegame #buildinpublic #pbbg
That moment when you find out an NPC was coincidentally conspiring to wipe out another NPC with you...and now we're enemies. Game is oldlight.io
I've been building a browser strategy game in my spare time. You drop into a galaxy, claim stars, and watch your empire grow. No installs, no signup required, and it is free! It's called Old Light. The mechanics should remind you of games like Tribal Wars. #gamedev #indiegame #buildinpublic
New update for Old Light is now live! - NPCs are a little bit less aggressive now - Added an overview of players and all their captured systems - Rename your captures systems - Empire Banner + editor Not playing yet? It's free. No signup required. Plays in your browser! #gamedev #indiegame #pbbg
I noticed that the public galaxy world map wasn't very usable on mobile, and even on desktop it got very slow as the #galaxy grew with new players. So I spend some time improving it. Have a look and let me know if you run into any issues with it! oldlight.io/map #gamedev #indiegame #buildinpublic
