The derelict stumbles in..

About twenty mins late as my archive manager decided it would make bad zips – cause it felt like it.

Didn’t completely finish.. sadly… but this is something I’d definitely like to finish at some point.
You do get hot-seat multiplayer for your efforts of downloading though!

Skills were not implemented, which makes the Alien Queen utterly useless ( it can’t lay eggs that spawn into brood ) but the other classes work fine as they have weapons ;) AI wasn’t implemented either.. so you can wander aimlessly through the HUGE part-designed ship and kill them.. but that’s about it, sadly. Lockers weren’t implemented either, so you can’t even gather loot! Yea, time managed to get the best of me, it seems.. I’ll explain more in the post mortem.
There’s also no win conditions… I forgot that… heh

I’m quite knackered after all that.. here’s a final screenshot showing what GUI I managed:

I currently only have an AMD64 Linux build as my Windows running laptop is in need of a reinstall.. I’ll get a Windows build done ASAP. You can grab the engine source from the SVN though, and compile it that way if you wish.
Other source is actually in the data zip – it’s all Lua script.

I’ll post up a post-mortem after I’ve had some sleep.. it’s been fun again! :)
Good Luck to everyone!

-edit-
Seems like my laptop was alive enough to produce a Win32 build! it’s up now too: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-16/?action=preview&uid=267
