So. I have a lot of things to say.

First of all, twitter video resolution will destroy the quality of the launch trailer. So if you want to watch a better quality trailer, fullscreen, here's the official link to the YouTube video.

Then, i wanna thanks the few people that accepted to play the beta.
@davrous @benjamincode @manekinekko @bruno_simon

Most people ignored my request for help, meanwhile those people help me transform a buggy piece of trash to a playable game.

Thank you very much to all of you.

Since the game is free i have a lot of liberty for music.
Still, i do have to mention all the artists and their amazing work.

First thing you hear when you launch the game is Transcendent from @joelnmusic

it was a no-brainer for me. What a stunning song!

Each universe have his own music.

Most of the time, this is @musoscientific works you are listening to

Universe1: I Walk With Ghosts
Universe2: Discovery
Universe3: Celestial
Universe4: Omega

Scott Buckley is responsible for the immersion of this game !

Finally, @musicalscience's work is used in both the launch trailer and the game's grand finale.

Trailer: In the Blink of an Eye
Finale: Into The Night

I can talk much about the grand finale without spoiler.
But Melodysheep is just a perfect match !

I did this game for fun.
But also to learn advanced @threejs and shaders.

I got to a point where i got stuck with big ideas but not the knowledge to get there.
That's when i bought the #threejsJourney course.

The value i got from it is insane.

The source code is on @github.

Normally, developers hide all by squashing everything.
No history. Like everything was perfect day one.

I didn't. You get to see every commits.
Every doubt, struggle, copy-pasta.
Everything.

I'll make a thread about it.

Most of stuff you see in the first universe, the known universe, are my weak attempts to mimic reality.

I used pictures from @NASAHubble as reference to get the closer possible.
Every starfield, globular cluster and nebulae in the game are inspired by this @NASA twitter account.

I've made a big blog post explaining the base of the project.

But this project is too huge to be written about in one article.
A lot of articles (at least four) on the subject are coming.

It was the biggest personal project I’ve ever done.
It was incredible.
There were ups, downs, distress and wonder.

I’m not sure I’ll be doing a project this big again anytime soon.

Please consider retweet this thread. It would mean a lot to me.

I’m going to get some sleep now.
