Ah, yep. There was meant to be a video and I think the downloadable version of the game still has it working. The method I used for hosting the video online seems to not be functioning anymore. If it's any consolation - the video was something I made in about 10 minutes the day before I submitted this as an assessment - it showed a very crudely drawn earth through the portal. I can't remember what that means story-wise, but past me must have thought it very important to end on!
Short and sweet. Felt like something spooky shoulda happened when I started using the mysterious stuff for power. This game reminded me of another, but it's been a while.
I'm not a big player of idle games, but my partner plays tons of them. When I first had this idea of a 'short narrative idle/incremental prototype', he recommended I check out a few others, and Spaceplan was one of those - and probably my favourite :)
Dude, amazing game. I love the looks and feel it gives off, love the storyline it has even though it's a very short one. The text box dialogue off to the right is amazing and I would love to see more of that. Honestly, I would love to praise you on this and try to encourage you to continue adding on to either this game or make a new game sorta like this one, because I believe with your capabilities, you can make an amazing idle game that everyone would love. I got sad to realize this was a very short game but I loved it.
Hello everyone - thanks for all the kind words (and sorry for not noticing them until recently!)
This was always intended to be a prototype, and was developed under a pretty short deadline for my diploma. This means no story beyond this was written, and quite a few mechanics weren't made modular to save time for the assignment. So, although I'm absolutely chuffed to see the positive praise - there are no plans to continue work on it. Or, at least, no plans to continue work on *this* version - I very well may re-make AWAKE (or something mechanically and thematically similar) sometime in the future. I will be sure to post here and let you know if such a project ever exists!
Unfortunately, there is no plan to continue development of this prototype. Perhaps one day I will make something along the same lines - I'll be sure to let you know if so!
really cool! i played through to the end, gotta say I actually had forgotten it was a prototype and that it was jarring when it just ended. i'd definitely like to see this finished though, really cool spin on the whole cookie-clicker type incremental game with discovering stuff about your surroundings.

That was too short but too good
this needs to be made into a full game the concept is so cool
why
Was there supposed to be a video in the empty rectangle shown after the probe launch?

which game does it remind you of if I may ask?
It took some remembering SpacePlan Prototype seems to be the one I'm thinking of.
thank you!
did you know it got released as a full game?
Yea, when I finished it last, I was happy where it left off so I didn't buy.
WHEREEEEEEEEEEEE

Good and short prototype. Quite interesting.

Does This Game Continued from This Day or Not Just Asking!

Please continue this. I NEED to know what happens next.
I loved this! It has a ton of potential, I hope to see it finished
I...LOVE IT!!! I don't want it to end. Please continue the story.
This is super duper neato! I wish it would be developed further! I literally created an account just to post this comment :)
I wish it was on mac.... I just realized you can play in browser.
VERY COOL! Love the look and feel, great writing and mood. Would love to see more! :)
