Blackhole simulator Is released

Black hole simulator is out I launched it at around 2:50 pm on April 14th like I said I would. I know the game isn't perfect and I will be working my tail off to try to make it better and better. The update next month will bring more content to the game. Gosh there was snow on the ground here in minnesota when I started on this and 6 months later there was still snow on the ground. But anyway, I'm one person I hand crafted all the artwork for this game and worked 40 hours a week and managing a full time job. I wanted to show the world some random dude could create something pretty amazing if the time was put in. I put everything I had into this game and I plan on continuing the same thing in the future. 1000 hours were put into designing artwork 500 hours were put into coding. I actually got better at designing art towards the backend of development. I started this studio by only doing artwork and paying freelancers to code. Other projects I worked on before this Doodle td 1 and 2 Universe survivors The other games our studio produced I only wrote the story of these games- Cartoon cagematch Road to place Upgrader I love making games tho this was definitely a fun experience and allowed me to get a feel for the work involved with making a game and I respect fellow game devs even more because of it. Thank you for all the support over the years and see you in updates and future steam and mobile titles!

UPDATE 1.1 IS COMING SOON AFTER LAUNCH!


HEY! LUNATIC HERE! I wanted to touch base a little bit about launch. We are all ready to launch blackhole simulator as this game releases I want some feedback from you! That way I can make the necessary adjustments to the game! Im one person although I'd like to think im pretty motivated there is only so much I can get done in a set amount of time I plan updates and if theres bugs i will try to include them than :D. OKAY NOW TO THE GOOD STUFF. I have planned for the next 2-3 weeks the final 8 evolutions for after the 4th stage evolutions. This means the evolutions will essentially double. with that the intention is to use these overpowered evolutions for levels 40-60. that means the content for the whole game is going to double as well basically. implementation is going to be the tricky part. as now I have a ton of enemies in the game that all deal different amounts of damage to every different black hole. As it might be possible to get this update before launch, im not going to promise that because I also have to figure out what im going to do with the quest system as that is not in the game yet. Im not sure how im going to do this but it will get done :D for this update. with the addition of these things future updates will be planned based on feedback and such. HERE IS SOME ART THATS DROPPING IN THE NEXT UPDATE

Hi steam nextfesters!

Hey steam nextfesters, I don't have a ton of additional content ready aside from the demo unfortunately. But I am working on some new planets. Planet gokiro- will fire energy blasts from above that deal massive damage! planet Zugit-every time you kill an enemy they drop bubble gum giving you 5 health and 5 money these are getting to later game upgrades so the benefit from these is going to elevate, the evolutions are going to be continued going to a 4 way split - two upgrades after glitched and two upgrades after galaxy than it will continue into an 8 way split meaning two seperate paths for each evolution. this will be the current "end game" if you will. however after that i might put in a 16 way split which would give you a ton of different evolutions. for example dark hole evo either you can become glitched black hole or galaxy black hole after you have glitched black hole which can evolve into two things after you also have galaxy which can also evolve into two things. some exciting things coming up I just hope I can keep everything balanced while introducing all these new upgrades pets and other things. the full version is going to be massive compared to the demo and I can't wait to show it to you :D So you go near the blood moon after wave 10 and you finally will get there wave 20, 20-30 will be the frozen space which is planned to introduce more random events Im currently working on sprties for that. also the new upgrades to help sustain you through that dangerous biome. thank you for testing out black hole simulator and I can't wait to show you the finished version!

demo final boss being worked on

Hey Everyone! Unfortunately the demo will be finalized with the next update. Im giving you a larger chunk of the game because I feel like it :D Coming with the next update -final boss for the demo. black hole killer will be the only new enemy that spawns wave 15 upon beating the final boss you can keep playing with hardcore enemies. -adding new perks (possibly) the issue is incorporating them into the early game. -adding a new planet (possibly) -adding new enemies from wave 10-15(priority) since im still working on the game I want to take the rest of the time to work directly on the game without managing updates and etc. I can assure you the full game will be everything you hoped for and then some for a hyper casual game. What I started with was just a little tiny black hole you cant even see it when your playing so i decided to use a clicker instead, this was intended to imply you are in the tutorial basically. as far as pricing 1.99 seems fair after all this work gets done with the game and we should see an april release and depending on success will depend on what get added after that. Thank you to everyone involved including my build/store manager maxim for helping me issue these updates as promptly as possible. thank you to the people who tried out the demo we hope you like it. Its been a blast learning all these new things with coding, and graphics and such. thanks again lunatic aka tyler
