Little gameplay for now but it looks good for a start.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>What made you think this game it's about ancient technology?

I was going for a kind of overall background setting, but it's just materialized through the objective itself and the intro because of time constraints.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Most of the time I will try to fit Space into any theme though, so that's a challenge!"},{"author_name":"novotmike","author_uid":"94173","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 11:01pm","epoch":1472770560,"text":"I must say that it is very nice concept. I can appreciate procedurally generated stuff and the star system looks amaizing. I really liked the graphics style.

The graphics were pretty. The gameplay was easy to understand once I started playing.\r<br\/>I think I accidently demolished part of the ship, but I'm not sure what happened. It wasn't clear to me what happened. The numbers were hard to read, but that may have been because I was playing it as windowed, rather that full screen. \r<br\/>I do think giving the crew names would be a nice touch for future versions. :D\r<br\/>Good job!"}],"images":["ld36\/110017-3622c142758cbe48cf854c151582ddc1.jpg","ld36\/110017-103c5939d9913b331a4b0648d06dafa3.jpg","ld36\/110017-d3198994cb946405933553ed2c5590e8.jpg","ld36\/110017-7499c936d12deeb879ba908f2ea62caf.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/fabsy.itch.io\/mothership","text":"Windows \/ Mac \/ Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"1719","g_author":"110017","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"1770","g_title":"MOTHERSHIP","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"8","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/110017-shot0-1472522274.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/110017-shot1-1472522274.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/110017-shot2-1472522274.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/110017-shot3-1472522274.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is a simulation\/management game where you rebuild your ship and explore a procedurally generated galaxy for resources.\r\n\r\nIn this prototype, the objective is to research the ancient artifact to its completion (100%) and keep the oxygen and carbon levels above 0.
