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.

Session-based multiplayer games are a popular form of online game, as they provide players with a quick, engaging experience that they can jump into at any time. However, building a scalable and reliable session-based online multiplayer game is not easy, since there are many components that need to be developed. You need game server hosting for a stable and consistent gameplay experience.

This analysis is written by Javier Barnes. This is not financial advice, and the opinions are strictly his own. The current massive deceleration of the Web3 space is a good moment to re-evaluate and re-think the fundamentals of Web3 gaming. Although many whitepapers mentioned sustainability, the previous gold rush meant that for most players and crypto investors, it was just another promise to fuel the hype.

Spent some time tinkering with shaders. It was fun but also hard to come up with something actually usable in the game. Ended up with a subtle effect which is blended on top of the pre-rendered water surface. It doesn’t tile properly but the seam is hard to notice so I’m fine with it. I also tried distortion for the bottom layer but UV wrapping is a problem because the tiles are in a texture atlas.

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.
