A new game is born! Exo Colony Devlog #1

[@codinginflow]

I recognize a fellow German when I hear one

[@xraidev]

Wow! The conveyors look awesome! Great first devlog I can’t wait to see another

[@ObviousDev]

Thank you :) I hope it won't take that much time :D

[@Sakul1988]

The new game looks exciting!

[@ObviousDev]

Thats' great to hear :D Thank you :)

[@bitbraindev]

I really like your video style. The music choice is spot on and your production value is excellent. Your pixel art style is great, you really have an eye for detail. ♥

[@NeatGames]

Seems like a great idea, and it looks great so far! Conveyor belts are very satisfying to watch :D great job animating them! For my devlog game I chose to do a super low-scope game for my first game as well XD Keep it up!

[@ObviousDev]

Thank you very much :D I'll check out your devlog game!

[@AmalieKae]

This looks super cute! Insane amount of progress for such a short time as well. Damn! This is the kind of game I'd love to tinker with on the Switch! Totally sold! : D

[@ObviousDev]

Yay, that's cool to hear and thank you very much :D Would be a dream to someday release this on the switch ^.^

[@Visuwyg]

Very impressive video quality! I hope this new game's scope doesn't balloon out of control too fast... but going for systems instead of narrative content is a good way to create a lot of bang for your buck.

[@ObviousDev]

Thank you! :) I hope for the same and I also hope that the system approach is helping with that.

[@TannerMageeYT]

I'm interested in your map implementation. For my game, I was planning on using the Tilemap system, and they worked great for creating the ground. However, they definitely don't seem suitable for managing dynamic game objects such as trees that can be cut down, or ore that can be mined. Is this why you went with your own system?

[@TheNinjaDwarfBiker]

I really like this concept, I subscribed and will follow the development

[@ObviousDev]

Thank you!

[@Skeffles]

Fantastic start! I love the idea and can't wait to see how this progresses.

[@heizpeter7577]

Looks really exiting!! This looks super fun!

[@ObviousDev]

That's great to hear :D Thank you!

This is really good!! Your pixel art is amazing! :D

Thaank you

Astroneer dev here who also enjoys solo game dev as a hobby. I know it's been a while, but I hope you're still working on this off youtube! I'd love to play it!

[@filippogiulietti1665]

Wow great start! Thinking about the problem of closing player in conveyors, maybe in a grid based game is difficult to make player jump system. So I was thinking about some kind of bridges or glassTile, where conveyors are under and you can walk over. Then, In my opinion the game would be more interesting if the player's inventory didn't exist, and you have to manage all your stuff only in the toolbar. It's so difficult to implement inventory, and some of them are really bad, but in this way could be juicier. Good Work!

[@misteryboi8026]

Awesome work man! New sub.

[@ObviousDev]

Appreciate it!

[@gegenton3953]

Can you elaborate a bit on the conveyor belt mechanic? How is the transition from one movement to the next made, etc.? Grüße aus Augsburg :)

[@Juke172]

Reminds me of Factorio but with cute pixelart style. Keep it up. Looks good.

[@GamesBySaul]

Looks great, looking forward to seeing more :)

[@ObviousDev]

Thank you very much! :) More is definetly on its way!

[@GamesBySaul]

@@ObviousDev Great! Can't wait to see! Also those conveyor belts look great

[@rmr_md6834]

Nice game, you got a new subscriber and nice English for an German

Ah, thank you very much :D That's reassuring, since I was quite insecure if it's good enough ^^ I hope the accent is not that bad.

We are excited for both games, keep up the great work!

I love these kinds of hames, really hyped for this game! Keep up the good work

[@djsmore8331]

Just found this dev log and it looks good

[@dark_phoenix_9537]

could you explain the conveyor belt system

[@pelipur3864]

pretty damn cool bro!

[@itsnotpaul8548]

Im exited for this game

[@DragmoraProductions]

Amazing work realy inspiering.

[@astromusic_ofc]

Yay :D That's great!

[@cultist_pixel]

i like the pixel art

[@adi.m68]

When will it be available and is it going to be available for mobile

[@ObviousDev]

I don't know and propably not :&

[@joleeight]

This looks awesome. How are you handling the conveyor belt logic? Are you using some sort of Rows?

[@Kapendev]

looks good. a video about the grid system would be cool

[@ObviousDev]

Thank you! I think I'll explain the grid system in the next devlop a bit more in detail!

[@gioigaming445]

I'm trying to make a belt system like this in my game, can you please explain how did you make yours or can you share your scripts?

[@Papaya_Theorem]

Space lumbermill? Nice.

[@lanfangliu7529]

[@nichegames9590]

Just found your channel. this looks like a really cool idea. Looking cool arleady.

Thanks and welcome :)

[@peglin5117]

This looks a little like SandShip

[@watercat1248]

i have no idea what system you use to for the player movement anyway good job

[@ObviousDev]

Do you mean the conveyor belt movement? Thanks!

[@watercat1248]

@@ObviousDev sory for the tapping

[@gtl5568]

Can you do a tutorial on how you make a building system and harvesting system.

[@TheShelfman]

Love the game's artstyle! Excited to see more. Out of curiosity, how did you do the item movement on the conveyor belt?😁

[@ArtParlor]

I like everything about the game and the video! I just wish you smiled at least once, maybe?

[@ObviousDev]

Haha :D I will try in the future. Smiling is not my strong suit. And thank you!

[@NotPensive]

yayyy

[@ananejuba5268]

i like this style of games, good job. are the conveyor belts based on physics or do you move the items with a script?

[@ObviousDev]

Hey there :) Thank you! The conveyor belts and every movement in the game is logic based, there is not one rigidbody in the game. The conveyor belt tile checks if the target neighbour tile is free and if that's the case it tells the item to move to the next tile :)

[@zonic312]

@@ObviousDev Really awesome project you got going on here! Reminds me of Factorio. My question is: Is using the logic based system less expensive on the system? I plan on making my own belt based game and any feedback is appreciated!

[@ObviousDev]

@@zonic312 That's a really good question, I would have to compare it in the profiler. But if you ask me, not using physics, should totally be less expensive. But I do want to get good with the profiler, so I may make some comparisons in the near future and put the results in another devlog :) And thanks for the nice words!
