Game Description
You are a Delivery Boy/Girl. In Space!
With a crummy ship, a low budget, and a draconian contract you head out to space as one of many delivery boys/girls who work for Galactic Movers Inc.
It’s your Job to take boxes full of precious and dangerous merchandise, attached to your ship using a new revolutionary technology called… rope.
Well, they’ve been used for centuries now, they’re obviously the optimal way of dragging things!
In your journey you will have to steer clear of gravitational wells, asteroids, black holes and the dreaded Comet Pirates!
Good luck out there!*
*This is just an expression, and does not guarantee any application of luck to your journey.
My Contribution
During development, I worked mostly on:
- Gravitational Physics, I was in charge of coding believable gravitational physics to pull the boxes towards the planets as well as other bodies, such as asteroids, black holes and moons. The physics model was n-body as all objects within a certain range correctly simulate a gravitational pull towards each other.
