I know I should be working on finishing Star Explorers. Some progress has been made since the last update, but nothing worth sharing just yet.
In the meantime (and this is the really bad naughty part) I have developed another game called Rocket Blasters.

I had the idea for the game after my Inktober drawings gained so much attention on some of my social media outlets. It's a simple game and I allowed myself a few weeks to get it up and running on Steam here. It is in no way a replacement for Star Explorers, which as an ongoing project has approached the four year mark.
But, after having worked on it pretty much non-stop for over a year, it began to take its toll. I took October off of game development, and now I have spent most of November finishing Rocket Blasters.
Please forgive my truancy. I do still plan to have an update ready some time in December. Having a look at my to-do list, May of 2018 still looks very feasible for having the full release ready.
