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!

The Rogue like Update 3.0 (new!)

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!

Think there's a tiny bug in that distance remaining goes from 0.10 to 0.9 instead of 0.09 lightyears...

Thank you for noticing. I fixed it and updated the cart.

hu… odd game I must say, good presentation.

Not sure the rpg aspect is fair, feels like random events that I cannot possibly win?

P#104536 2022-01-08 08:45

It's fairly random yes. But you might get updates to your ship like thrusters, weapons and shields so it gets easier.

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

Haha. I am working on an almost finished update. In the updated game you roll a die. You will actually see the value you need to beat as well as the chance of the outcome.
