Alpha Devlog 1:

”-4Y: Frustrations” (the name can change as the project goes on) is starting as somewhat of a X4: Foundations parody.

The base gameplay concepts would be similiar: You manage a fleet of your own faction; You trade (or fight) with NPC factions; and grow your empire.

The only downside? I can’t into 3D for now, Stardance is slowly ending and school is getting intense, so if I’m gonna ever make a proper X-like strategy, with 3D mode and everything, it’s not soon.

For this month I’ve planned basically a 2D economy/grand strategy. Nothing more I guess.

This project is unofficial, I don’t own anything that’s Egosoft’s. Basically a fan parody that can turn into a playable, open-source alternative.

Anyways, here’s what I did: In Bevy v0.19.1, I made a few helper functions, few structs which I don’t use yet and automated drawing. Also a basic fighter icon texture.
