I'm not familiar yet with the UI or the fighting gameplay, so it took me a while to understand why I could not move or fire at all, nor jump or land anywhere. The only moment when I was a bit lost was when I tried to help merchants fight pirates with just my poorly-weaponed shuttle, and go quickly "disabled" by the pirates. There is a lot of text, but it's not overwhelming IMO, and I find that it is nicely balanced (and a very good style). As usual, I started by exploring the parameters menu and customising the keys, so I did not experience the inconvenience that some wrote above on this forum actually I find the gameplay really easy to understand, and that's not always the case in sandbox exploration/trading games.Īnd then the writing is impressive.

I've been playing Endless Sky for the last two of three hours (building the master branch on Mageia 5, Linux 64bit), and I must say I'm impressed.įirst off, the UI gives a really professional looks as charlie already pointed out, and that's not the norm in open source games. you look shabby next to them." It should either be 'doormen' or 'next to him'. Perhaps look at having 'jump lanes' - areas to be in for specific jumps, to add an element of inner system travel.Ī minor English correction for you as well. Perhaps take a look at Transcendence (I'm sure you already have) which has a good balance in that regard. I think if you can get the jump / danger balance right, this is a real gem of a game.

The Hammer (I forgot the specific name) pirate ship was literally waiting for me as I departed and killed me instantly.

Maybe cargo ships should take a big longer for their jump drive to activate.

Perhaps some kind of visual feedback (other than just all being in alignment) on the jump readiness of your ship and those you are escorting would be good.

It has a good indie vibe to it, and some of it was really well done - loved the hyperspace jump effect. The game is well presented, you should be very proud. I got as far as the 2nd mission from the ship trader, and died instantly.

However, all my development work has been done on Ubuntu, so I'm looking for beta testers running other operating systems who can report any glitches they find. I've been spending nearly all my free time over the last year and a half working on this game, so it is relatively polished and stable. For more details, see the website or the manual.
