Update 1 - Progress so far


The state of my game is pretty bare bones with no ending and without a fleshed out story.

The next steps will be to create more scenes within the alien city, make some Aliens who live there for Spaceman to talk to and a more lively music track to signify you are in main city area.

Originally the story line was going to be that the Spaceman crashes on the planet (as he does in the current build) and needs to steal alien technology to fix his spacecraft. I will probably keep this aspect in the story except he might get the tools needed in a more friendly manner.

In terms of interacting with the Aliens in their city I initially thought they would take this strange visitor prisoner, as you might expect if you just waltzed into an alien city. However I thought it might be more interesting and give me more creative opportunities to make the aliens indifferent to the Spaceman's arrival. They will note "where did you come from?" but overall will be more concerned with their own lives than this new 'alien' in their mist. They will be so self concerned that they will make comments about how it would be nice to have some adventure in their lives, "I wish I could crash land on another planet!", "why do interesting things always happen to other people?", and "when will I have something exciting happen in my life?!". Despite the excitement of seeing this new visitor they are too tied up in the disappointment of their own lives.

Creating the aliens will be fun an interesting and give me opportunity to create some fun dialogue.
