Any casters out there?
Just wanted to let you guys know that casting your gameplay with commentary is the best (and the most fun) way you can help our developers!
Simply watching you guys play on Youtube has helped to save days of our development time - allowing us to make either more cool content, or finish the planned features & fixes faster.
If anybody who loves casting reads this, consider yourself heartily invited! Our gratitude is eternal.
This hearty invitation extends to all space survivors, roguelikers, individualists, explorers, scavengers, Teleglitchers, hobos, deviants, influenschers-schwimfluencers, hardcore gamers, idealists, pessimists, wizards, artilects and all good forces and under the stars x)
Thank you! Looking forward to meet in Youtube, under your video's comment section :3

I'm going to start casting again soon. I want to give the game a few more hours of practice before putting myself out there. It's a very tough game!

I did the tutorial, found it lacking in content! I don't really know what to do and have no expectations which can cause a lot of misguided decision-making later.

Then tried one game, died

And another game, died

I saw someone in one video actually explore. Unfortunately if you're in a situation with little gasoline exploration seems like the last thing one would want to do because first aren't we trying to get home, not lally-gag, and second, we could wander, get stranded, and have nothing to trade and...you seem my point?

Finally, in one game I played last night I stock in one sector without fuel and 6 SOS signals in a row called forth space animals that destroyed my ship, ending my game.

EDIT: PS to harp more about tutorial or instructions, I personally prefer that you make as much information as possible available to players, like in the "please read" section. I will soon play a game with this in focus, on what things I wish I understood better about the game.

very cool, I'm watching the second part of Atlas gameplay right now!
How were you able to acquire so much credits? You had over 3k at the start of the second video with Atlas.

Im sorry most of the VOD is muted, enjoy playing music. I started that run with 0 credits. Early game I usually only keep 100-200 resources of everything excluding food and fuel. That goes up to 400-500 kept near end game. Sell everything pretty much. Use the credits to repair, buy, and refuel pretty much. I also have preferred using energy weapons simply because they are free to shoot. RNGesus blesses that run with the boss energy weapon. I was on the fence about its usage until I realized 3 people can man it. Its a very nice weapon.

Keep the videos coming, fellow space survivors. Our devs will watch most of them sooner or later :)

Hi there! I am just a very noob streamer. I really just started more for my own amusement than anything else. I was captured by your game, and I played a couple of hours, talking 80% of the time. Here you can watch my stream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSp-VMyRuKg I hope it helps.
-

To improve:
- The tutorial it got me confused a couple of times over. I feel that need more improvement, it should be super clear how to do things, and I feel that it is not. After giving 2 tries I decided to leave the tutorial and go ahead playing the game.
- Make a more clear button to warp away. Kind of emergency escape, I want it very very clear as my panic button before I die. I still didn't figure it out how I can use it (I think I was jammed to be able to use it, but I am not sure).
- I do not want just buy from traders, I want to sell as well. It bothers me that I can only buy stuff, when instead I want to sell stuff.

Positive:
- First impression is the game is great to discover the various events, the planets and alien forms are quite fun. The names of the crew, the content, the interaction. Keep this as much variegate as possible, because it makes for great fun.
- Mechanics are great, and the graphic style too. Please, make me choose the AI picture (and if it is possible talking style) for my ship (I want to give it a name too).

Negative:
- I am just less excited by the modules. I want a medical bay and organic little garden, but it feels so much optional, that kind of upset my game style to reach the end, that I have to storage it, and just put other modules instead of that (losing armour every time that I swap). I do not know what you can do about it, but I want to be able to heal my crew.
- When people joined my crew, I would like to kinda decide if accept them or not. I had 4 more crew that I needed (2 and 2 added after close events), and I had to just freeze them to stop consuming all my food storage because they were unwanted. At least give me the option to kill them and use as food (I know, is horrible, but forced crew members in my ship felt a bit like trespassing my boundaries forcing themselves on me, it bothered me).

Good luck with the game

Yo peoples! Shameless plug inbound. Hopefully some useful insight hiding in the corners, and a bit of advice for some of the newer peeps on how to get these ships to work.
