Repeated intro
Hey Sky Trader Fans, Well, what can I say... it's hard to excuse disappearing for over a year. A lot has happened for me both professionally and personally, and I finally seem to have ended up where I started. It has been a great regret of mine that I was never able to deliver the game I promised you so long ago... so without further ado I present... Sky Trader 2019
What changed
- Gameplay
My vision for Sky Trader has been forced to evolve with the dissolving of our original team. I have taken over all art responsibilities, and as such I have moved to a new art style for the game. I loved Nick's work on the original game, but it wasn't something I was able to reproduce on my own very effectively... that said, I am really happy with the way the new game looks and I hope you will enjoy it too. I've also made several significant changes to the gameplay... most notably the switch to a top-down view. There were several factors that went into this, and I'll write an update detailing them in the next few weeks, but it has actually turned out to be a lot more fun to play than the original! As far as timelines go, I won't make you any promises... development is progressing quite quickly right now, and I'll be sure to post regular updates as things unfold. To those of you reading this, thank you so much for sticking it out! I'll post more updates about this new direction over the next few weeks, but feel free to fire off any questions in the meantime! Best Wishes, JJ
