ATTENTION Gamemaker YouTube Playtesters: Play the tutorial first, then Random Level!


Happy holidays and 2023 COOLRYAN! Hope you like it!!!

Premise

COOLRYAN and fellow devs are en route to an alien planet to deliver the game they're developing. But there are two problems! First, the space is filled with evil civilizations who want nothing more than to destroy the JamStation:Dev ship; and second, the game is under a tight deadline to be finished!

Help COOLRYAN and their team finish the game by completing the tasks in order, while also defending their station spacecraft from the evils of the deep!

Features

  • Mix of a real-time strategy game and a task management game!
  • Assign the devs to complete all the game development tasks needed to finish their game.
  • Harvest asteroids to acquire material!
  • Use your material to build, upgrade and repair your units and place them strategically to defend the starcraft from hordes of alien ships eager to destroy it!
  • Beautiful pixel art
  • Play a practice level or enjoy a randomly generated universe!

How to Play

Use ESC or P to pause, everything else is handled by the mouse. Click to select and click again to open the panels, right click to move selected unit/dev to a new place. Mouse wheel to zoom in/out. Select the station and zoom in (or select nothing and zoom in) to see the station's interior.

Learn to play by completing the tutorial!

TIP: if you want to edit the gamedev names, do so by editing the dev_names.dat file. Make sure to leave at least four names and only use Blue/Brown/Green/Old/Robot as color names, or else the game will crash!
