I will try to put it on here every 12 hours or so, for those interested.

I wasn't able to run it. Or well, I could start it, but it crashed when I tried to start a new game (I also had to click below the text in order to activate it).
Code: Select all

Ah, Nevon. Thank you for being the first volunteer! I could only test it on my own system, so you just gave me valuable feedback. I appreciate it, and I'll have it fixed as soon as I wake up.

I've tried it and I think it worked.
I could not guess how to move the ship. It is supposed to move around on "travel mode"?

Ship movement is with WASD, and the Start button is off on the collision. To start you have to click a little to the bottom right. I have fixed it, and will upload an update at 7pm

Still getting this when trying to run it.
Code: Select all

What version of Löve are you developing for, and what method do you use to run the game?
EDIT: Got it working by changing require("game") to require("game.lua").
I gotta say, moving around feels really weird. Perhaps you should change movement so that the ship always moves, and that you can only rotate it (and perhaps speed up/slow down).

Thanks for the suggestions Nevon. As my name implies, I am but a simple designer with aspirations to learn programming. I was first introduced to Lua in January, so I have alot to learn (physics and movement is a large part of that). This is one of the main reasons I have stuck to mostly GUI based games.
I have changed the require lines and I hope that corrects the issue for yourself and others. Thanks again
