So I've been working part time for a few years on a sci-fi themed game called Veridian Expanse. It's a bit of a mashup of exploration, metroidvania, and crafting games where you are trapped inside of an asteroid. You can download the latest dev build from itch.io for Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi 4:

I've been making dev builds for a while, but I'm starting to get more serious about getting feedback. Also... as a solo dev I have no idea how to tell people about my game, so I'm starting in cozy places like Lemmy and Mastodon. :) Anyway, if people want to give it a go and let me know what you think I'd be super grateful. :D

Fun Fact: The game's source is GPLed! I'm guessing 99% of people don't care, but I don't see any downsides of doing this when I don't plan to use DRM anyway. I can't imagine it will hurt sales. On the other hand, maybe someone will use it to play the game on OpenBSD, Haiku, or some OS that doesn't exist yet.

Get Celeste, Baba is You, A Short Hike, Minit and many other indie games while supporting charity.

Interactive fiction at a solo dev scale is often really really linear. This game structures around that well, I felt -- the repetitive nature of what you're doing is the point, what makes it meaningful even in the absence of alternative choice.

It's really fun and has satisfying mechanics.
