10 months ago, I started Oortbound with a simple idea: a space-themed crowdrunner roguelite.
Two months in, I hit a wall. I couldn't find a way to make co-op work in a crowdrunner, so I reworked the core gameplay into an open world with 6DOF movement, while keeping key elements from the original, like fleet units, gates, and boss battles.
6DOF movement took a while to figure out, but I eventually nailed it. Then came the centerpiece of Oortbound: the black hole. That alone took countless iterations to get right. Flying around a live black hole, and even diving into it, is something I'd never seen done before, and I wanted it to set a new paradigm for gaming, especially space games. It turned out beautifully, even better than I expected.
I've poured endless hours into Oortbound, working part-time jobs on the side to fund development, including buying Synty and Aeon assets. And tomorrow, I'm finally launching the demo!
The job's not done yet, though. Now it's time to start marketing properly, something I have zero experience with, and to work on the feedback I'm hoping to get from the demo. If all goes well, I'll then start on the PvP game mode, which I'm even more excited about. Can't wait to spill the beans on that soon.
If you've made it this far, thank you. I really appreciate the support. A wishlist would help a ton! I can't wait to see you all play Oortbound. Please report any bugs you find, and send me any feedback on what could be changed or added to make it better.
Thank you,
Mango

Flokitars: A Key NFT in the Floki Ecosystem
Launched in 2021, Flokitars are a notable part of the Floki ecosystem, selling out in just 31 minutes and raising $1.4 million for the Million Gardens Movement, a philanthropic initiative led by Kimbal Musk.
With Floki's PlayToEarn MMORPG Valhalla now LIVE on MAINNET, Flokitars are about to play an exciting role. When a Flokitar is used in-game, it can be burned to "free" the Flokitar within the world of Valhalla, rewarding players in several ways:
- Very Rare Consumables: These include rare amulets and other consumables that are highly prized in the game.
- Helmitars: Exclusive helmets/wearables like the Helmitar, one of many rare in-game items tied to Flokitars.
- Viking Effect Unlocks: These unique effects are available to all testers now but can be permanently unlocked when Flokitars are used.
Additionally, Flokitars feature an aggressive deflationary mechanism. When used in-game, they are burned, leading to a permanent reduction in their circulating supply. This innovative use of NFTs highlights how Floki is uniquely integrating them into the gaming experience, making Flokitars a noteworthy part of the $FLOKI ecosystem.
Flokitars can be found on various marketplaces, including Blur, where collectors and gamers can explore the available listings.

NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR TOKENS
If your $FLOKI / $TOKEN is anywhere other than in your own wallet, you need to realize that they do not truly belong to you. Itβs why they say, 'not your keys, not your tokens.' Better be safe than sorry! β οΈ

Why do I need 20 reply karma to post on most #indiegame Reddit subs?
I just want to promote my game, not fake interact with people just for karma points.
I understand it's an anti-bot system, but replying just for the sake of replying feels botty (yes, that's a word) itself.
Sent out keys to a few friends for one last co-op playtest of @Oortbound before the free demo drops end of this month!
Can't wait to see what you all think of it. Wishlist so you don't miss it. π
