I just think its funny this is in gifs for whatever reason.

I'm all for a science based turtle game though...... Wait. Haven't we been here before.

I really love doing this. I've been doing it full-time for over a year now, and I'm eager to work on it every day!
It will be a simple "pay $20 minus any sale discounts and own the game" model. That's it. I would never be able to get myself to build ads into the game, having thousands of people watch millions of videos they don't want to watch, so I can get a few parts of a cent for each view.

I totally get that. When I saw the big turtle, my first thought was how cool it would be to use your feeding techniques train it and take it into silly treat-based naval warfare with other turtle realms. But it would be a whole other giant project. Maybe something to look into for a sequel, if this one is successful and you have all the single-turtle code completed and ready to copy-paste.

I have read so far what you wrote, and it seems that you are bringing some love to this greedy industry. However, I have to ask this: How will this game be monetized? Are there any plans?

The Settlers does Civ.... IN SPACE!

Seriously though nice work! I would play it.

Ahh, very cool!

Thanks for spreading the light!

This is why I eye roll people who complain about devs of games “not doing anything”.

See every game specific subreddit

Get me Morgan Freeman on the line...

At the moment there are 2 smaller ones, each one side of the large one, but they're just cosmetic. I do want to bring in some interaction with other turtles, but there's a lot to do before that can happen!

Okay someone has to say it. The nose and eyes look like a dick and balls

The goodest boy isn't attacking it and isn't terrified, I'd call it a win.

Is Death the guide voice?

Is this the only Turtle, or are there others floating around space that a player could meet/interact with/ram into?

Like a super fancy etch-a-sketch

Your one-stop Steam fix!

This game has everything - turtles, hexagons the bestagons, small villages and outer space.

I'm pretty sure this is a table - it's sand and a metal ball is rolled along with magnets on the underside - so you can program the computer that moves the magnet in wonderful ways like this.

I use Unity with C# coding. Most of the stuff is code/procedurally based as opposed to setting stuff up in the editor. I started off with a brilliant hex map tutorial by Catlike Coding and a nerdy hobby started going too far. Then I learned about threads, GPU instancing, etc.

Thank you. Still so much to do, but every month it smoother and more complete!

Could you give a short overview about your programing language, frameworks, gui tools etc?

I have an idea over several years, which i would like to develop.

Let me just finish my first game ever first :)

Agreed. What I do find is, the more complete/populated the ‘world’ becomes, the more things fit into gaps in this whole more naturally, and the more I can reuse and adapt code to progress faster.

Plot Twist:

Turtle antagonist is space garbage.

Looks like an awesome tactics/strategy builder with a unique twist. Bravo to you for the work you've accomplished.

You ever consider a vr port?
