I'm Dave. Any pronouns OK.

I'm making an open-galaxy action/exploration game called Pan Galactic Railway about piloting the only space train in the universe. Check out http://www.spacetrain.space for details.

I've lived in Japan for 4 years now, but my Japanese is garbage. I love it here a lot, though.

I'm into games, illustration, and music with weird sounds.

kinda phoned it in today because I'm tired. Shouldn't have been too hard, but I was impatient and set off a couple of alarms. Oh well.

@HTHR me, every time I used the "problem solver"

being heat signature friends with @HTHR means finding the most entertaining gear

lol, I failed the last mission because, in my haste to get to the teleporter before my target, I slipstreamed past some guys and then forgot about the crash gates and ran at high speed right in front of a turret

for the love of god please CW your Mr. Mimes

Assassination missions, fast as you can. These all basically went off without a hitch! I went for the locked airlock on the third mission, swapped with a tracker coming for me, slipstreamed past everyone, lured my target next to a window and bob's yer uncle.

Not sure if you can even get a perfect score on these timed missions, but I feel like this was pretty good (especially for me).

my father-in-law says he wants to invest in my game and I can't tell if he's joking but I gotta wonder how much money does he feel like losing

Zero points. I'm not sure how I could've tackled this one without a trip to the shop, since the capture target was shielded and I'd have a hard time luring them to a window once the alarm went off. Ah well.

No-kill stealing mission. My only kill was some jerk who stood between me and his trigger-happy friend. I had thrown a hammer at him, too, and he would have survived had that hit him just a moment earlier. So frustrating.

u ok marge?

hahahahahaahaaaa

I thought my gun was quiet

it was not

I set off all the alarms

I thought I might jump out of the ship and swap with my target before they escaped

I messed it up

zero points

No kill, capture mission. I was doing very well, but the last guy was by a defender and I was all out of crashers. I managed to get him far enough away by swapping with his friend and luring him away, but then it turned out he had his own shield! I tried to get him NEXT to a fuel room so I could blow it up and catch him in space, but he saw me at the last second and ran in too close, so I failed the third mission.

No-kill. The first mission turned into a comedy of errors because the defenders kept me from knocking people out, and I got thrown out of the ship like 4 times. Second mission was done in 30 seconds. Found a self-charging swapper that was super handy. Third mission was 1:45, and I did it by subverting the teleporter so the target tried to flee into the vacuum of space, and then I made my escape by being thrown out an airlock. Not bad!
