@lodef - thats exactly the route im going on this. I still have the possibility to shop the game to publishers once the game is closer to being complete - which is a route I might go still, but I have been approved as a wii U dev already so all that's left is development and testing on the dev kit!

Can you explain how the WiiU dev works? I just did a quick search about indie games on Wii, is this basically what you are doing here...

?
I always figured nintendo had a rigorous process to be accepted.
- i didn't think they even considered indie games, i guess things have changedlodef

This was the inspiration for the planet rotation:
- Ah yoshis island! Good gameCygnusZero4
- I beat this game to 100% and I don't remember this boss fight at all.jtb26
- CygnusZero40
It reminds me of those games that are on consoles where you rotate around a planet and shoot shit. There's a few of them, cant remember the names of them. Is that what this was based off of?

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that there's a new demo build:
Windows: http://www.cosmochoria.com/build…
Mac: http://www.cosmochoria.com/build…
Linux 32bit: http://www.cosmochoria.com/build…
Linux 64bit: http://www.cosmochoria.com/build…The new build has some new features:
- Hold S while floating in space to slow your trajectory. Just like in real life space!
- Asteroids Explode when they hit the planets surface.
- Diamonds hidden in asteroids are a little more common, not much though. ;)
- Weapon powerups are a little more common (once you have that Level 1 Gun)
- Flying FAST through space will cause you to destroy anything you run into (not planets tho).
- Jetpack gets you off a planet easier without jumping first.
- Bosses don't get 'stuck'.
- New planets, including the 'FUCKING LOL' Cube (More non-round planets to come!)
- Updated cursor designs (may be a little buggy still though).
- Bug and performance fixes.This is probably the last or second last 'publicly available' build. Once the kickstarter ends, it'll be private builds for all new functionality for KS backers only. Once the functionality has all been implemented, it will move to a public early access program on Steam for the couple of months leading up to the official launch.
Respect.
Nate
