@ -79,6 +79,10 @@ We are not quite there yet, but this is what I'm aiming for:
- Customizability
- Easy modding
- Any state/config files should be editable with a simple text editor
- Short-term viability
- At any point in the game development process, the game should be polished enough to provide a smooth, enjoyable gaming experience for the target audience.
- Branching off the main branch to add more complex features is fine of course.
- If game development would end right now, it should be plausible to claim that the game is finished and the planned features were simply out of scope.
- Open Source
- The author got into programming through modifying existing open source games, and wishes to help others to be able to do the same.
- The game should only use components that don't restrict the player's ability to run the game, change it to their needs, and learn from its design.

# Challenges
- How to tell a deep story with permadeath without getting repetitive?
- To be solved...
- How to travel to far places without wasting player's time?
- Skipping in-game time, with bus stations and cryofreeze
- Incredibly high speeds through unrealistic g-force tolerance (rather not)
- "half-cycling" the brain of the astronaut: entering a sleep state where the player unconscious 99% of the time, only experiencing 1% of the moments consciously, giving a perception of time lapse. The suit computer could take over the controls during the time when the player is unconscious
- Continue simulation after the game exits, so if the player wants to travel far, they have to stop playing for a couple hours, to resume playing at the destination. (rather not)
- How to be able to carve out a home for oneself in space if there is permadeath?
- The home could still be drifting in space after the player's death
- The home could be virtual, stored in the spacesuit's computer, accessible via augmented/virtual reality
- The home could be added through modding, outside of the game
- Maybe a customizable home is not really needed
