Dustership
About the game
Dustership is a space western action-adventure game that takes place in the Gaucho Galaxy: where the ruins of long dead galactic empires are now the wild frontier for explorers of the current age.
This is a work in progress. My goal with this demo is to create a fun real-time combat system, inspired by games like Hyper Light Drifter and Eastward, that will form the core of the game. I am building Dustership in Godot engine, and I use Aseprite for art and animations.
The story starts with April, a retired government officer for the Ammellan administration. She was a member of the Preservers, an elite squadron of intelligence operatives who directly report to the Ammellan emperor. Those days for April are long past, and she now works as a bounty hunter who plies her trade on the outskirts of so-called civilized space.
