Picture of the day

A hangar for your ship

Not just a house, a hangar too

We did a lot of planning today, and the big news first: on Veyl you won't only build a house, you can also make your own spaceship your home. It gets its own hangar on your plot, with a landing pad, lights, a small tower and your name sign. Whether the ship is there or out flying, you can see from afar: this is my hangar.

How it should feel

The hangar is built just like a house. You place it on your own plot, there is room for garden beds in front of it, and next to the landing pad stands a small hut for tools and chests. It stays put even without the ship, and the garden keeps growing while you are away.

If you own several hangars, you pick where to land when you approach the planet. The ramp becomes your front door, and inside you furnish the ship like a home. The first drafts and sketches we are working on right now show what the interiors could look like. Your furnishings come along when you take off again.

And the rest of today

This is still work in progress and none of it is playable yet, so consider this a look at our planning. A few other things came together on the side, just briefly:

  • You mark out your own plot, with corner posts that glow.
  • Every tool gets seven tiers, from wood and stone through Brasit and Kyrit to Thalit, Azurin and Celestrium.
  • At the edge of the map you stand on a coast and look out over the sea.

More on all of this later, or tomorrow.

See you soon,
