This is a Pico-8 demake of the infamous flight to Hutton Orbital in Elite Dangerous. Originally, it is a space station 0,22 lightyears away from its star. It takes over one and a half hour in-game time to reach it. Players either hate or love it. I for myself love it and decided to make this little game about it. But don't worry:
You don't have to fly over an hour. The T-5 hauler featured in this demake is fitted with the lates in thruster technology. This baby will take you to Hutton Minimal in about 15 minutes!
Update 3.1 (new!)
- New events added.
- Added GFX for battles and upgrades.
- New title screen animation.
- Optimized controls to be playable with one hand.
- New scoring system at the end of a run.
- General balancing tweaks.
- An otter joke.
The Rogue like Update 3.0
I have further refined the game in this updated version. Here are some significant changes:
- You can now see the value of your opponent's dice roll. You can also see the probability of winning.
- Removed all "detour" events from the game.
- Added a scoring system. Nothing fancy. The sum of your hull and payload is your score by the time you get to Hutton.
- A terminal message system at the top of the screen now shows the results of all events.
- Overall balance. It's still not a hard game, but I like it that way.
- New music and sounds added to the game.
- Slight overhaul of visual effects and graphics.
- New splash screen.
You can't do much in this game. Much like the original flight to Hutton Orbital. You can turn your thruster on and off. That's it. Preferably you turn it on if you want to reach your destination. You only really need to turn it off once you are there. But remember to do so in time or you miss Hutton Minimal. The T-5 has a really good thruster but its turning cycle is a big mess (yes, you have to start over).
Features
- 76 commodities ranging from alpacas to rare PlayStation 5 consoles.
- 113 lines of monologue.
- New spaceship never seen before in the Elite universe.
- Nothing of the above matters since you still just have to wait in this game.
Thanks for playing!
Update
v3.0: Further Refined.
v2.0: The Rogue Like update
v1.2: added acheivements (press arrow key down on title screen to access them).
At first I thought that you could only get bad outcomes from the events and that the Rogue stuff was another joke. But then I actually won a combat and realised that the RNG just hated me xD
