Hey friends! Hope the new year is treating you well so far. I have a lot of projects going now, so I've been very busy! Branching out into working on other games is really exciting and allows me to explore different aspects of game development. Not to mention the added benefit of bringing in multiple revenue streams so I can stay afloat. But let's talk about Lost Nova!
☁️ The Sky Plains
After the unfortunate and entirely unavoidable crashing of your spaceship, you'll find yourself in the Sky Plains. As the first area of the game, you'll be introduced to the mechanics of the game, chief among them being The Mechanic.
The Mechanic runs the store where you can purchase new equipment. They'll also play a critical role in repairing your ship. I recommend making friends with them as soon as you can!
🎣 No-Stress Fishing
Can't have a chill exploration/resource gathering game without fishing! But, like, is it just me, or can fishing be a bit stressful in a lot of games? Especially the ones where losing a fish breaks some sort of combo or streak. I didn't want Lost Nova to have anything like that so what we get is a simple, no-stress fishing system. Find a fishing spot, catch a fish shaped like an apple, profit. It's never been easier!
But What Do I Do With These Fish?
After a relaxing day of catching fish out of lava pools and clouds, you can take your haul to the fisherman. The fisherman is beyond excited to pay you for any fish your bring them. Their motives remain a mystery, but personally I have no reason to believe that they're using these fish for evil in any capacity. Just a good, wholesome fisherman with no secrets. That's what I say.
Until Next Time
That's all for now, I have to get back to work! Until next time, please take a second to wishlist the game, if you haven't already. It really helps me out and the Steam algorithm really likes it!
