New onboarding is live in Old Light. First 10 minutes now take you from an empty system to a fleet in flight. If you bounced off it before, this is the version to come back to. oldlight.io #gamedev #indiegame #pbbg #oldlight

They are coming for me lucky charms! Always love the chaos of new universe starting. Game is pr0game.com, free offshoot of oGame that captures the pre-P2W atmosphere. #browsergames #endp2w

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a housefly is stuck to flypaper. It says, “Well… cant get any worse than this.” Panel 2: another fly flies into frame and also gets stuck on the same flypaper. The second fly remarks, “Brian? From high school?” The first fly says, “Lord, take me now”
