RE: Orbital Margins: dicerolling small-business rpg in a hard-scifi setting
<t>I’ve finally managed to wrap up all the loose ends for this release. New station graphic (see patch notes), quite a few new codex entries, but most of all completely overhauled job generation and UI. The game now feels more friendly to play, give it a spin if you miraculously find some time this ...

RE: Orbital Margins: dicerolling small-business rpg in a hard-scifi setting
<t>After skipping a month, I’m back on the dev track, with a… very minor update. This adds graphics for one of the smaller stations, kroonhaven, as well as a couple of codex entries about the busted years. This really starts to go into the meat of the games background history and how the current ...

RE: Orbital Margins: dicerolling small-business rpg in a hard-scifi setting
<t>Small update this month while I'm working on bigger features in the background. Adds a new graphic for Huanggong, one of the bigger stations in the game (see patch notes for screenshot), and a codex entry about the Big Bust (though that consists of 3 parts):<br/>

A bit of info on the games background story and general philosophy behind its design, and some words on how the integration of orbital mechanics is going:

RE: Orbital Margins: dicerolling small-business rpg in a hard-scifi setting
<t>Devlog for december is up, revealing some of the struggles I'm having with getting orbital mechanics into the game. No actual update to the game yet I'm afraid, and probably not next month either.<br/>

<t>It's been a while, but it's finally here: The new major feature changing a lot of the early game, and the first actual progression system.

Long time no see
<t>I've not been around here for a loooong time. I've been active here way back when FFED3D and Pioneer were kinda new things. I made a 3D model for Pioneer that... somehow ended up becoming its logo to this day, even though the model is no longer in the game? Yeah, I don't know how that works, but ...

RE: More earthlike planets and more life - a WIP
Can i use it in any version!? like A26 or A10!? i ask this because of the ships i have in data folder and music. It is a replacement executable. It will be identical to the latest Pioneer build, except for the changes to the system generator. LMR models will not be compatible.

Can you explain this to a Pioneer Player!? some possibilities why for now I do not see a better game than the game frontier!? Because it's unfinished, unbalanced and lacks content. Be glad that it is stable at this point
