A game made in a week for LoveJam 2025. This is my first completed and submitted jam game entry and despite the rough edges I am proud of it. I would have liked to have figured out a way to package it for web or include a tutorial but I am out of time. The first two days I struggled with some lua/love issues since I've never worked with either before and that cost me some time. The folks on the LÖVE Game Framework discord were awesome.

I would have liked to have added more events, ship systems to manage, and other things but I focused on a narrow scope and I feel that what's in the game is pretty solid. I would have liked to have tested it more, but I ran out of time. The hard difficulty may not be possible to beat.

Playing the game:

Be strategic in picking your crew and resources. The game will end if you run out of any resource or all crew die. A safe starting setup on Easy is 500 Energy, 800 Food, 1000 Water, 400 Components, and 1 crew of each skill.

If a crew member has no rest, their vitality will be used instead for tasks. If their vitality drops to zero, they will die. Dead crew don't consume resources. Crew will regain rest and vitality over time, so try not to over work individuals with tasks. Some events require certain skills to overcome efficiently, or even gain resources instead of consuming them.
