After roughly two months, the first major step is done. Coding-wise, this project was on the smaller end of things I’m used to from previous projects. But also providing graphics, level design, music, and SFX, and bringing it all together was an amazing experience. I’m hooked. My goal is to get better in all areas and make games that you and many others will hopefully enjoy.

What comes next for FAOR?

The next step is the submission to the Playdate Catalog. There are a few more improvements I want to work on, like the font readability. All of these improvements will, of course, also be updated for the itch version, so you won’t miss out on those.

What’s in version 1.0.0

• Polished space race feeling with high FPS and very accurate crank navigation
• 19 levels with different visual themes and racing styles (3 of those very easy Tutorial levels)
• 5 different racing ships with different specs
• Commander Vivi - your guiding companion helping you become a proper Astroracer

I hope you have fun and if you find something you (don’t) like - please feel free to share it on the Discord (or directly with me there): Discord Link
