It's Critter Time!

Hi I'm Silver and I make computer game(s)!


I have a long term project called Orbital Dawn (http://www.orbitaldawn.com) which is a game about making space stations. It's still in pretty early stages (I have precious little free time) but it's coming along. I'm mostly making it because I like making space stations, but I don't like how I have to compromise to make them in KSP or Juno: New Origins. I want something that abstracts the orbital mechanics a bit and doesn't do a full physics simulation. I want to focus on the station design, and I want lots of stations, and I want to have stations that do different things, and I want to be the one who figures out the logistics that keeps the space stations crewed, supplied and repaired. And I want to do it on an interplanetary or maybe interstellar scale. Get the idea?

I'm bad at taking screenshots but I'll post more as I go! I have a showcase video on YouTube here but it's starting to feel old! I'm waiting until a couple new features are done before I make another.

I also make music, and I'll usually post it on YouTube and/or Bandcamp. Here's one of my favorites:

Some of it is on my main channel and some of it is part of a concept named Euclidean Sea.

I need to get better at graphic design, but I'm trying

Well, hope you like this, I'll be around.

In the middle of updating assets because I decided to redesign the docking ports & make some other changes. I forgot how much work it was to get all the collision and metadata stuff hooked up. I like the docking ports so much better now though.

Love how those models look, tbh tbh

It’s certainly easy to work with!

Oh I should mention the font I use for the game is one I made myself, it's called Encounter VC. It's inspired by Handel Gothic. It's licensed under the SIL Open Font License so you can do whatever you want with it.

Some of the kerning might be a little off still. It has Cyrillic glyphs but I'm not a native user so they're probably way off.

I got the motivation to revisit one of the more important songs for my game. The original was kinda rough, in retrospect.
