Hello, World! Public release of Spaceships and creation of Lemmy instance

Hello, World!

Hello, Lemmy! This is my first post on my newly created Lemmy instance for Spaceships, a simple free-as-in-freedom multiplayer game that I have been creating for the past several months. The game is written in the beautiful Rust programming language and is licensed under the GNU AGPLv3.

Spaceships is in heavy development right now and the gameplay is pretty basic. Over the next few months I am planning to polish the existing core gameplay, including by increasing the power of server-side configuration and having there be a concept of "winning" the game.

• Decreased the time taken for the process to exit when waiting for connections to gracefully finish. This makes the window close faster on X11 if the user exits the game while waiting for a connection to succeed.

Lemmy instance

Today I created a Lemmy instance to be a place for discussion about the game, with other topics being allowed. Right now the only community is this community, the development blog, but I'm planning to create more communities in the future.
