Welcome to Planet Sitter: The Galactic Inquest, a procedurally generated planet management game. You are an alien babysitter for the Galactic Federation, tasked with watching over the newest planets. Manage the planet’s temperatures, population, rising sea levels, and the planets’ own technologies to allow the planets to discover FTL travel and officially join the Galactic Federation!!

All assets were made the 72 hours!

Features:

-Custom Coded Physics Engine

-Realistic Gravity

-Coded from scratch without a game engine

-Love from the dev team

Bugs fixed after release

• Figured out how to spell “Plague” (this misspelling was stopping the event from ever happening)
• Wildfires and blizzards now heat and cool the planet, instead of cooling and heating it. (We got this backwards)
• Enlightenment sound plays even when the game ends on the same frame. (We needed to update the status message as soon as enlightened, not one frame after.)
• Event frequency no longer varies with framerate. (We needed to multiply probability by a factor related to delta time)
• Enlightenment may no longer progress when population is falling. (indent of if statement was one too low)
