--= Starshot Idle Thread =--

Starshot Idle has begun development!

i got the most important parts of the GDD done, and i'm planning the UI layout of the main game!
this is the first game i intend to sell, so i'm taking the time to plan well!

5 sketches of varying sizes, of the visual layout of Starshot Idle. Each rectangle is either 16:9 aspect ratio for the screen, or 4:3 for the game size. Each game has 5 blue triangles (Aliens), 1 red guy (Player Ship), and a black and green box (the Star count and Menu button).
