See sky high potential here
Might be motivational to see interest in your game as you are drudging through coding (especially optimization). So, just wanted to let you know that it is one of the top games I regularly check on.

Probably more info in non-steam forums, but I'd be interested in knowing a bit about your dev history. This will be Romain's first game it looks like. I think I remember reading you are going solo for this (which is hard to fathom from the gameplay I have watched). Were you part of another development team before this, or is this more of a passion project where you just self taught for what you didn't know? I am sure a lot of this is in your interview....but French class was a long time ago for me lol.

Definitely don't prioritize over game development, but if you wonder if there would be a demand for dev blogs or some other interaction (at least over steam); I think there would be.

And if you are basing your schedule on me, which I am fairly confident you are, a release around the time I need a break from The Forest's sequel would be perfect. Maybe a little buffer time for a non-survival game to maximize survival game withdrawal too.

Best of luck bud. This has the potential to be something special in my opinion.

Hello ragen!

I'm really happy to read that and I'm glad you like how the game looks so far!

It's indeed my first game and also, it started as a hobby I was working on during evenings and weekends. Then, the project started to pick up so I invested more and more time into it (to the point of taking a temporary leave from my "real" job, haha). Since one year and a half, I'm working full time on it.

Do you mean you would like to see dev logs on the Steam forums about the game? It's true that I'm showing more stuff on Twitter and other socials than here. It could be a good idea to have more updates in here about my progression! I'll keep that in mind for sure!

Thank you for your kind message again!

Hello stargit! I'm still working on it so far. Though alpha will be closed at first (more info is available on the Discord).
I'll probably open it later on for a beta but still not sure!

Hey hey! Glad to see you're excited about the game!! :)

Thank you for the feedback! A brightness slider will definitely be in the game! :)
I might even add a mode to make nights a bit brighter if needed!

Was checking in on your game again and realized I never responded with the clarification you asked for. It makes sense that I was not aware of your previous updates, since I mainly use steam to stay informed. I follow some developers on discord, but adding all those new channels turned into a mess. Now I use discord only if i'm super interested and the channel is super active.

I'll get all the updates I need when you release the game, just keep doing what works for you.

Trailer looks promising.
Hopefully it won't end up like 'the day before' did

No way I'm messing up the potential of Derelicts! Don't worry! It will take time to make but I'm getting there! A lot of boring code had to be done recently so not much to show for but planning on showing updates soon!! 😊
