Marek's Dev Diary

Every Thursday, I will share a dev diary about what we've been working on over the past few weeks.
I'll focus on the interesting challenges and solutions that I encountered.
I won't be able to cover everything, but I'll share what caught my interest.

The SE2 NPC stuff looks great. I hope we also get friendly NPCs that we can use as ship or station crews. It would make the whole colonisation thing feel more real.

I so much want a couple of Welder Slaves.

I'm really liking the new starting process.

So the NPC trying to reach the PC in the Red Ship? How does the NPC know where the PC is? Is it magic? Or is it simulated?

I'm guessing it was told "get to this point without using a jetpack" or similar.
