Space Salvage Blog #2 : EGX London
Hello Space Salvage Cadets! We are back from EGX London and we are so happy with the attention and feedback! We have met so many lovely people and we just want to recap everything that happened in EGX.
Demo
EGX was quite an experience for us and we were overwhelmed by the amount of people who wanted to try it out! We had so many wonderful people that were polite and gave us amazing feedback.
Our demo consisted of the player learning the controls from the AI assistant that is provided by Space Salvage Corporation (SSC). She may be a little snarky but its the best AI SSC can afford for you
The general idea of the demo is that the players must manoeuvre through giant asteroids and debris to find salvageable crates. Once you’ve collected enough you may even find an enemy also wanting the crates you found, shoot him down before he shoots you! But let us stop talking about it and let us show you instead! SSC has kindly recorded a bit of gameplay footage and is willing to share it with you all!
Special Mentions
We have some notable people we want to mention and thank!
Our demo was often compared to “No Man’s Sky” and we are thrilled to be able to be on that level. We had streamers, influencers and press come to our booth and we hope you had a great time trying out the demo. We even had a few colleges/universities come over, teachers having a blast when trying the demo and all sorts. The comments provided by everyone who carried out the questionnaire and verbally were helpful and insightful.
Below are some of the photos we took during the event:
SSC would like to showcase some positive tweets created by all of the potential slaves Cadets who tried out our demo:
We would also like to thank EGX for holding the event, placing us in a great spot for everyone to notice us and the lovely staff. Some of them even tried out our demo at the end of the day and they enjoyed it!
Feedback
The feedback received was overwhelmingly positive. Reading through the questionnaires has given us some great ideas and mechanics. Some feedback include, moving UI in a better location for people to see, multiplayer, better combat mechanics and so much more. We are so thankful to you all for the feedback and will be reading through every single one to help improve our game and to show you all in the next event!
What’s to come!
That wraps up EGX and again, thank you everyone for your feedback and comments. We will be adding new features and polishing current ones, creating new environments and adding so much more. We can’t wait to show you all in our next dev blog.
