This looks very good! I included it in my ProcJam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Hey Jupiter!  Thanks for playing Star Explorers and including it in the video.

Every time someone makes a video, I realize how my user interface can be improved, so that is also helpful!  I really need to improve the tutorial :)

Hey, I have a brief walk-through of Star Explorers for new players.  Is it possible to include the link in your video?

That looks pretty great :) I wish I could try it but I only have an OSX machine :(

Thanks!  Hmmm ... it's Windows only, but it was whitelisted on Steam for their Steamplay, which uses Proton, and it works with WINE on Linux.  I have never tested it, but I believe there is a version of WINE for Macs...

There are also other ways to run Windows programs on a Mac.  Here is a brief description I found with google: https://www.howtogeek.com/263211/how-to-run-windows-programs-on-a-mac-with-wine/

If you are up for it, I would love to find out if the free demo works.  I would be willing to offer a free copy of the full game, if you get the demo to work, and let me know.  I'd offer the game even if you can't get it to work ... but then what would you do with it??? :)

Are you familiar with WINE and Proton?  How about Boot Camp?

I know them :) I will try them soon, thanks :)

Very cool. I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I downloaded a copy of the demo and I'm excited to have a look. Based on what I see here, it's like a lot of my favorite games (like Wing Commander: Privateer). Looks like a lot of work has gone into it, too.

Thanks, yes, something I started well before this game jam :)  I do hope you enjoy the demo!

The Demo had a flaw that prevented it from running properly.  This has been fixed.  The newest one is called "Star_Explorers_Demo_Update_Nov_5th.zip"

I just uploaded a demo version of Star Explorers ... check it out for free!  https://schmidt-workshops.itch.io/star-explorers

Nice retro styled thing!
Feels of old good Noctis IV, but with much more interactions and developing of equipment.

And danger!

Thank you!  Someone mentioned I should post a free version of the game.  I am thinking it's a good idea... That would be something I could do for the jam...
