This is why you hire good graphic designers. We made a spooky sci-fi banner (before). Our designer asked: "But what is the game actually about?" Co-op. Repairs. Horrible monster (after). Making a game and communicating a game are different skillsets ❤️ #indiedev #indiemarketing #graphicdesign

One of the most important tools of the salvage engineer is the map table. You can override security lockouts and guide fellow engineers to the damage - so long as the wreck still has power. Strategize as a team! #indiedev #scifi #wip

Finally, mixed trope: Hard sci-fi that takes a sharp left turn Sunshine (2007) has great acting, logical decisions, an intriguing story. The first 75% is so very good. The ending (while it makes sense psychologically) veers off sci-fi in to supernatural #scifi #sun www.imdb.com/title/tt0448...

Less-loved sci-fi trope: Critical missions with incompetent people in key positions We love Prometheus, the lore, visuals, and acting is superb. But they sent some real bell-ends out there. The map guy got lost. The biologist didn't recognise aggression #sci-fi #alien www.imdb.com/title/tt1446...

Loved sci-fi trope: competent, rounded characters making intelligent decisions. We love Event Horizon (1997) because the salvage crew do everything right, but they are faced with something beyond comprehension. It's not dumb choices that drive the movie #horror #scifi www.imdb.com/title/tt0119...
