I’m throwing it out there…
Do you love me? lol, This is crazy, we just met. Making this game is fun. It’s like you are falling in love every day, but just with a product, a dream, a vision, and the people who enjoy it. What a journey this has been.
OST Indie Games started off by making a game-play demo for a space agency tycoon game. It should be a cool game whenever we get to it. We then made a twist to a game called “Goobers”. It was a light game with a shallow story about an alien guy. We worked on a game engine for a long time and finished that up relatively recently. We had a few more twists and turns and ended up shelving that project and started looking at a project we called “Worlds End”.
That project was ambitious, so we narrowed it down to a top-down survival sci-fi game. It was not too exciting until the time when I was writing the proof of concept for the shooting mechanic and was throwing together art, but could not get a head to look right for the character. So I just threw on a cowboy hat. From then on I was in love. We switched his gun to be a laser pistol and even more love was there.
To me the cowboy hat, made me love the game you are seeing today, Violent Sol Worlds, It turned it from a crash landing survival game on a planet, to you are an early settler on a distant planet helping spread the human race across the galaxy. We all started to run with it. It was amazing how quickly things came together from that point on when love was involved.
Love makes everything easier, marketing flows, work just gets done, and magic seems to happen. I hope you love Violent Sol Worlds even a portion as much as we do. It is a great game to work on and we cannot wait to get it in your hands to play. It will be an even longer journey to get there but our team is ready for it. When you love what you do, you can’t help but do it.
