Computer Game Development - The Indie Alley / Re: Fringe Planet - a survival simulator game inspired by Dwarf Fortress & Rimworld

Hey folks :-)
A *lot* has been happening :-) I've been incredibly busy - but I am *very* happy to announce that Fringe Planet has a kickstarter date :
It's been incredibly exciting to get to this point. But there has been so much going on! Firstly, there has been a huge model update - pretty much every model has been re-textured and/or re-built. It's actually been really satisfying seeing how my modelling skills have come on since I started the game :-)
I've also introduced a new bit of fauna - the Tentacled Devourer - which has some fairly icky lore (you can read about it here : https://fringeplanetgame.com/blog/2019/05/31/the-curse-of-the-tentacled-devourer-dev-blog-48/ )
And finally, after all that - there is one more thing :-) Next Friday (28/06/2019) - will mark an entire year of dev blogs and work on the game. So I'm running a little competition, and I would be honoured if you folks would join in (didn't want to spam another thread about it). Basically I'm looking for anything creative inspired by Fringe Planet - a work of art, a story, a cartoon, a poem - anything along that. I'll be offering some prizes as well :-) The top two entries will receive the first Fringe Planet T-shirts and the top five entries will be amongst the first people to receive a peon name key - allowing them to put a name for a peon into the name pool of the base game :-) More info can be found here : https://fringeplanetgame.com/blog/2019/06/20/looking-for-your-fan-art-competition-time/ :-)
And one last thing, for a recent pitch I decided to do an entire pitch actually in game. It was fairly nerve wracking, but happily spent some time creating a peon version of the real life me :-) So if you are curious about what I look like, it's something like this :
