Let’s imagine that one day you wake up in the middle of space. Nothingness surrounds you, and the first thing you think is…
Where's my bed?
Where's my home?
Where's…
Right, probably yes — but for this description, the correct answer is: scream.
Well, let’s forget that there’s no air in space and you probably wouldn’t be able to say anything anyway, for several reasons. All you have left is that oddly-placed text input. Of course, being stuck there for approximately 2–3 minutes, you’ve got nothing else to do but put your mind to work and start typing something into it.
After entering a few words, you notice something strange — you're getting points. Typing a new word gives you 2 points, and reusing a previously entered word gives you just 1. Obviously, you want more and more of these points. But why?
Well, if you’ve ever looked under the text bar, you’ve probably noticed some odd buttons. Some of them look like inventory icons, but one stands out — it lets you spend your hard-earned words on something called an “automator.” Having nothing to lose, you buy one of these bad boys and realize it wants some items from you.
Luckily, another button comes to the rescue — missions? Yep, of course you take them on, and get all these fantastic machines and weird letter collections.
I could take more of your time to describe this strangeness, but instead, I’ll leave you with a short (for now) list of what’s in the game:
An amazing, GPU-boiling space atmosphere
A beautiful button that hides the text input so you can admire your abominations (I mean creations… or automators)
Hand-crafted collectibles from the amazing developer (that’s me!) — the grey letters are just the beginning
Automator-building with your collected items and machines
Flying letters and words in the automator, just because
Drop boxes you don’t buy — you earn them with manual labor and your automators
Missions that reward you with rare items or just help boost your points
Alpha/early-access bugs, waiting to be squashed
In return for all this awesomeness, I only ask one thing:
Report any bugs that might be lurking around. We all want a space free of bugs, don’t we?
Also, feel free to send in any ideas you’d like to see in the game. Anything will be considered, as long as it fits the main theme.
Good luck wording!
