I often receive email from players telling me how much they enjoy Star Nomad 2, and they have good feedback over the years. It’s still selling well, especially on Android & iOS, so I’ve been wanting to work on an update to show my appreciation to players. The changes are major, but not game-changing moving away from the original design intent for the game.

Good progress on the tileset. I made basic outlines and shapes in Blender, then exported into Pixelmator for touchups and additional dirt layers. First time I used Geometry Nodes in Blender. Fun! The rest though, not so much… it’s a lot of work to make everything seamless, color matched and correctly exported. Listening to podcasts & GDC talks while working on the tileset helps a lot because it stops me from overthinking it.
