Signing up for the VOID PROFIT #playtest starts tomorrow. I'd enjoy people's feedback. Go to store.steampowered.com/app/4687990/... and you'll be able to request access starting tomorrow. Good weekend activity? Hopefully. #gamedev #indiedev #spacesim #managementgame #indiegame

Here are the #gameaccessibility options in VOID PROFIT. 1. Easily Readable Font in the General options. 2. In the Accessibility options: Camera Shaking and Flashing Lights toggles, adjustable text size. Any #gamedev people, is there something that I'm missing and should always be added? #indiedev

Early in the development of VOID PROFIT I had the idea of factions all accepting and giving different currency. But it was just SO tedious. The game didn't even have its deep systems then. The game is "tedious" by design but that was a completely worthless "one more thing to keep track of" mechanic

Market Intel shows each cargo class at subscribed ports. Bright line tracks price and demand. Dashed is fair value. STK is stock, SPR spread and LIQ liquidity. Select a class to get more information and the desired products (normally from a different system). #trading #indiedev #gamedev #spacesim

VOID PROFIT DEVLOG NaN: On vacation with the family. - Added sandcastle to the beach - Added a beer to myself - Broke the AC in my car. Hotfix incoming. #indiedev #gamedev

Warp travel in VOID PROFIT is an engine mode, not a loading screen. The route keeps running, fuel keeps being used and the rest of the universe can still interrupt you or change. #ScreenshotSaturday #spacesim #gamedev #indiegame

As promised, my previously-abandoned incremental game prototype is now on Itch. Download, give feedback. I'd appreciate it. Completely free. Completely a proof of concept. corvid-food.itch.io/whatever-lea... #gamedev #incrementalgame #sportsgame #indiedev #indiegame

Finally a #TrailerTuesday post. Here's the first official trailer for VOID PROFIT. - Travel - Trade - Learn - Survive - Pay your rent WISHLIST NOW STEAM: store.steampowered.com/app/4687990/... #indiegames #indiegame #indie #indiedev #gamedev #spacesim #economy #profit #trading

Hiring someone to do a trailer for your weird space trading game where you're barely holding on due to rent payments is hard. You have to give them feedback like it's a horror game but it's actually and existential dread game hiding behind "space trading." Nothing scary, really. #indiegame

VOID PROFIT Devlog #9: Keep the manifest clean A new game system has been added. WISHLIST ON STEAM: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4687990/VOID_PROFIT/ https://corvidfood.com/blog/void-profit-devlog-9-keep-the-manifest-clean/ #9#indiedev #gamedev #spacesim #indie

A single comment on my Devlog on Steam (thank you for commenting on my Devlog on Steam) changed my day yesterday. There are these #gamedev or general dev things you think you're the only one that notices because you've looked at your game for hours. Nope! Point is I know how to edit fonts now.

VOID PROFIT runs great on the Steam Deck! Text scales correctly, Steam Input works. It's also a great Steam Deck game. #gamedev #spacesim #indiegame #steamdeck

The Windows search is so bad. I have opened PowerShell almost every day for the last few years. It still defaults to PowerPoint when I write "Power" in the search bar.

The devlog for the NEW Manifest system is up on Steam. Check it out to understand what this is all about and why I love it so much. A new thing that really affects how you communicate in the universe #spacesim #indiegame #indie #gamedev #indiedev #devlog store.steampowered.com/news/app/468...

Been playing VOID PROFIT for hours today and it just hit me that I've created what is, basically, the opposite of an automation game. The more you advance, the more stuff you have to do manually. The real advancement is lowering the pressure on you to do everything right. Your circumstances change.

I did talk about not adding any more systems and mechanics...but I added a new one. Now you have to keep a Manifest of your cargo. You can lie on it, of course. If you think that you have enough reputation to pass by on manifest/documents alone #spacesim #indiegame #indie #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Good moment for me. I don't think there's anything I want to ADD to the game anymore. At least for now. I think it's just testing, balancing and tweaking work ahead. I say "just" but, you know...

I guess I should release one of my earlier games on itch.io for free. It's pretty simple. You just have to hit the right keys on your keyboard before "a file downloads." The idea is you're downloading stuff and pretending that you're a hacker. It's the visual test for the more complex Void Profit.

Got completely RAILED in playtesting today. No good weapons installed, mid-level shield. Was carrying a lot of cash in a pirate-controlled area. Lost like 30%+ of my money to "tolls." Sometimes my attention span drifts away from the systems I've actually created.

Just in time to catch #WishlistWednesday. Some new VOID PROFIT screenshots with dialogue changes, market changes and some slight visual changes. - Travel - Trade - Learn - Survive WISHLIST VOID PROFIT ON STEAM: store.steampowered.com/app/4687990/... #gamedev #indiedev #indie #spacesim #trading
