Ludum Dare Results, Plans for Post-jam Version

Hey,
I'm new to this whole "posting devlog" type stuff but I just wanted to check in and relay my plans.

LD48 Results

First off, thanks so much to anyone that played and/or rated Untitled Space Game. I've made tiny one-off projects in the past but this was the first time I have received such positive feedback, and it really gets me excited to do more. The ratings were posted the other day for Ludum Dare 48 and I met my goal of doing better than my last entry. The only category I scored less in was theme which I knew to be a bit weaker this year so I'm still happy. I scored around the top third of Jam entries overall which is great to me when you have to compete with such talented people and teams. I'm just happy I made something that was this close to a complete game which brings me to..

Post-Jam Version

I knew I wanted to make a bit bigger version of the game, and yesterday I went through and tried to define my scope for the post-jam version of the game.  I decided I'm going to keep to the PICO-8 rather than converting to something like Love2D for now and save that for if I want to further expand on the idea in the future. As far as things that will be added. Besides some small bugs and quality of life fixes, first and foremost I want to complete the game with sound effects and music. I got a lot of comments that people wish I had done that and it was something I looked forward to as I have never got to write a soundtrack before and I've been working on my music composition skills in recent years. I also want to add land-able areas on at least most of the planets and have the flavor text delivered and expanded there. I also want to add a bit more to do on the player's ship. There are also a few things I want to leave as surprises for when this updated version arrives.

Yea but When?

I don't have a hard timeline for this update. This is purely a hobby for me and I still have my day job that eats a lot of my time and just like my soul you know? It can be hard to stay motivated. But I have supportive people in my life now and this feels doable in a way that I often get overwhelmed with projects. So it will be done when its done. I will likely keep the web version of this game free with the enhanced version but I think I may put a 2$ price on having a downloadable exe as well as the soundtrack with the PICO-8 and higher quality versions of the music.

So yea, thanks so much for whatever of interest you have shown in this little project and I look forward to being able to share more in the future!
