  The game has changed a lot over the last year. Trading and solar flares are the biggest recent additions, and I feel like the game loop is finally taking shape. The core gravity is still fun, and the... Continue reading

  
• 0.5: Starship launched!
  April 20, 2023 by Kristian Bak#spacex, #starship, #musk, #space, #celebration

  I have recently started in an incubator to focus more on my game, and it has been amazing! When Starship launched today, I had to celebrate somehow, and so the Starship model made it to the game. On t... Continue reading

  
• Revised Roadmap
  September 19, 2022 by Kristian Bak

  This game will not leave me alone. I must continue development. Sometimes, I become uncertain as to why I want to create this beast. If it even is a beast, or just a figment of my imagination. There i... Continue reading
• Dear World Order: Let's reboot and fix the system
  September 19, 2022 by Kristian Bak#stress, #fear, #war, #ukraine, #humor, #revolution, #russia

  So, we're all going through some things I guess. This game has meant a lot to me for several years, and I would love to really start working on it, but it is surprisingly hard to find the time and ene... Continue reading
• Initial Roadmap
  September 19, 2022 by Kristian Bak

  2022 edit: I wrote this roadmap just before the pandemic hit. I was high on Frozen 2, wanted to "Show Myself" and stuff, I wrote this roadmap to psyke myself up, and then the world changed. Without an... Continue reading
• Conceptual Origins
  September 19, 2022 by Kristian Bak#space, #history, #portfolio

  Gravity Break is the name of my Falcon DeLacy Python, kitted for mass transportation in Elite Dangerous, christened around 3302 (2016). The origins of my game is fractured and older. It's the game I a... Continue reading

  
• 0.4 launched!
  January 08, 2022 by Kristian Bak#changelog

  This is a huge update for me. The past few weeks have been crazy, I've gotten the validation that my idea actually works, and now it is crystalizing. The major features which have been implemented are... Continue reading

  
• Target audience
  December 18, 2021 by Kristian Bak

  Who are your target audience? This has always been a loathsome question. I've been thinking "everyone!" and "me!", never "males 18-29, western world" or "some nationality and generalizable data point"... Continue reading
• The near future
  April 03, 2021 by Kristian Bak

  What a year! This project went on pause even before the world turned upside down, but I'm back and ready to move forward :) I have revamped the controls, added some alerts for better feedback and twea... Continue reading

  
• The incomprehensibility of math in game development
  January 27, 2020 by Kristian Bak#math, #physics, #collision, #failure

  I get stuck on math quite often. It's very common for me to come up with an idea for my games that requires some math that I really suck at, and I fall down a rabbit hole while trying to solve it. Mat... Continue reading

  
• 0.2.1: Introducing Hazards
  January 22, 2020 by Kristian Bak

  Gravity Break 0.2.1 released! I'd love some feedback on the new Hazards ! I have made the easiest implementation I could think of, but got caught on some math that was acting up, and what's in game is... Continue reading

  
• 0.2 released!
  January 15, 2020 by Kristian Bak

  Thanks to a bunch of feedback, I've made the game significantly easier, and the points more plentiful. A special thanks goes to Tobias Eld, who will one day get his own station in the game. So far, he... Continue reading

  
• Launch of First Playable
  January 11, 2020 by Kristian Bak

  I am equally excited and scared to show my unfinished game to the world, and THANK YOU for looking my way! My intention with the game is still convoluted and fractured, but I hope that this launch of... Continue reading
