I have build a browser based #strategy game that should remind you those slow games like Tribal Wars and Travian. But then space themed! You start with one star system and grow into a mighty empire. It's called Old Light. Sounds interesting? #gamedev #indiegame #pbbg #oldlight #empire #space

The unrelenting tide of war...against the sea of gray, faceless NPCs.... oldlight.io Join the fun to win the war against the gray scourge! #browsergames #indiedev #indiegames

Things are moving... come join the fun in oldlight.io #indiegames

All time high active player count in the last 24 hours! #gamedev #indiegame #pbbg #celebrate

Fighting on 3 fronts is always a wise choice, right? oldlight.io #oldlight #indiedev #mmo

Today is knocking every previous day out of the park when it comes to visitors to Old Light! And the day isn't even over yet.

There is a huge fleet already scattered throughout the galaxy. Love to see my game grow! #gamedev #indiegames #pbbg #buildinpublic

Just a start for a surprisingly addicting system. Looking to see how the game play changes, especially with eventual alliances or border consequences, etc.

The Cars, Blondie, Cheap Trick

Enjoying one of the last somewhat cool days before we hit the mid 90s F next week. Not as much fun to burn things then...

Old Light update: the NPCs got a brain transplant. Some NPCs are a bit more offensive, other defensive. They actively move fleet to where they're important. And will actively send reinforcements if you attack them. Smarter neighbours tougher galaxy. oldlight.io #gamedev #indiegame #buildinpublic

P2W is the death for niche game genres. If it worked, there wouldn't be so many people recreating old favorites carving the p2w out (pr0game), or starting new projects like oldlight.io

We're at 20 active players now! Join and build your own empire in the same galaxy as us. oldlight.io #indiegame #gamedev #pbbg #buildinpublic

Someone said that Elon Musk looks like a face floating in a jar in a horror movie and I can't say that I disagree.

Smoothed out a few smaller issues today. Shipped nothing large, but shipped non the less. Coming weak I will aim to add a few bigger things again to the game. Stay tuned. ---- Try out Old Light here: oldlight.io #gamedev #indiegame #browsergame #pbbg #buildinpublic

NPCs were clearly watching the countdown on newbie protection XD. Hostile fleets inbound the MOMENT it dropped :D. Love it. Join the fun: oldlight.io #indiedev #oldlight

Today was a beautiful day to not be working on my game. So nothing new! Still plenty of room in the galaxy for new players to create their own empire. Interested in this? oldlight.io #gamedev #indiegame #devlog #pbbg #buildinpublic

I think Steam should reduce the cut they take of games (shit is almost all profit) and structure their fee like a progressive tax based on sales volume - so you take like 1% of an indie game that sells 10,000 and 20% of a $70 game that does iron man numbers. That'd help make things more sustainable

17 active players in the last 24 hours! It's not much, but it's a good start! #gamedev #indiegame #buildinpublic #pbbg

That moment when you find out an NPC was coincidentally conspiring to wipe out another NPC with you...and now we're enemies. Game is oldlight.io

I've been building a browser strategy game in my spare time. You drop into a galaxy, claim stars, and watch your empire grow. No installs, no signup required, and it is free! It's called Old Light. The mechanics should remind you of games like Tribal Wars. #gamedev #indiegame #buildinpublic

New update for Old Light is now live! - NPCs are a little bit less aggressive now - Added an overview of players and all their captured systems - Rename your captures systems - Empire Banner + editor Not playing yet? It's free. No signup required. Plays in your browser! #gamedev #indiegame #pbbg

I noticed that the public galaxy world map wasn't very usable on mobile, and even on desktop it got very slow as the #galaxy grew with new players. So I spend some time improving it. Have a look and let me know if you run into any issues with it! oldlight.io/map #gamedev #indiegame #buildinpublic

Cool to see my little patch of the map...watch out, won't stay small for long! Game is oldlight.io #4xgaming #universedomination #indiegame

As of today, there may be 10s of us! Give it a try if you like casual fun browser...space domination games. Sometimes you just need a few star systems to rule with a kind, but iron first.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

Isn't the reflecting pool beautiful now?

Every once in a while he tells the truth.

So glad we're focused on the right things... /s

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

Spicy

Step One: Militarize Our Streets Step Two: Suppress Lawful Dissent Step Three: Immunize Lawlessness Operation Midway Blitz was no accident — the point was to instill fear. The perpetrators must face consequences.

Yes, he should.

A reminder that both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris literally warned everyone that SCOTUS was on the ballot. They were right yet again.

Going to be a spicy day. Eyes to the skies this afternoon.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Oh, honey . . . if Democrats could *really* rig elections, why aren't they in power in the White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court right now? You're such a simple thing.
