Dragon Space

You are a dragon. Your spaceship has suffered a failure just after launch and you’re heading away from the solar system and into deep space. Why not go deeper?

• A clicker game with deep real-world astronomical data.
• You start off moving at about the escape velocity of Earth.
• Click the warning button to increase your velocity (km/s) as you rocket into deep space.
• Yep, keep clicking. That’s what a clicker is.
• Watch as the lights of planets and stars begin to move faster in the background.
• Use your star chart to track how far you get based on real distances from the Sun to various space objects.
• (NOT IN ALPHA VERSION) Use spare parts once you get far enough out to increase your velocity even further.
• Go as far as Saturn is from the Sun to get an autoclicker.
• Should take less than a minute or so to start going faster than the speed of light.

This is a Jam entry though I worked alone on this project. I added some simple sounds and procedurally generated music.

• Music generated using (http://infinibeats.com/), a website allowing quick procedural music creation. Settings are all my own.
• Sound effects made in sfxr (http://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html)
• Custom fonts (where used) are free Google fonts, included in the source code (https://fonts.google.com/)
• Art for game studio splash screen is from one of my older games.
• Programmed in Godot game engine 3.

Known issues:

• Star chart scroll doesn’t keep place correctly–scroll to bottom and hit another milestone to reset.
• Parts not implemented. Instead, get parts and autoclicker from a few milestones.
• Dialog boxes are modal–this works as intended.
• Breaking the speed of light–this works as intended.

Next version:

• Notation when you pass the speed of light (about 300000 km/s)
• That dang parts system. Purchase parts to go faster. Earn parts with distance from Earth.
• New music as you go faster?
