At it's heart it's a twin stick survival/crafting game set on an asteroid filled with an ecosystem of bio-mechanical creatures. Command your helper drones, build a home base, and escape! Networked co-op play is planned. Developed on Linux, but will also run on basically anything that supports SDL and either GL3 or Vulkan.
Lately, I've been working on locking down how the map in the game works. Generating distance fields for rendering, extracting collision data from it, and modifying everything in real time. A fitting end to the weekend was getting a half-baked implementation of the laser drill working.

The modicum of programmer art I have almost shows through the dynamic lighting, but I think it's starting to look pretty good anyway. :) I have more information (barerly hah!) on my blog if people are interested. https://slembcke.github.io/ProjectDrift

On that note, I've been refocusing on putting together pieces to try and make the early gameplay viable. If anyone is interested in giving it a spin I'd love some feedback.

Any feedback is welcome, though as I said basically everything is a placeholder. I only have AMD/Intel GPUs to test on which works fine in both GL3 and Vulkan. A Windows + Nvidia buddy of mine had crashes when using the Vulkan renderer, so I'd be interested to know if the `--vk` option works on Linux + Nvidia. It would be super helpful to get a stack trace or log if it happens. Getting that from Windows users is kinda fruitless. -_-
Worth dropping a video I suppose. :)
