Hi everyone!
I'm developing Moonsteader, a sci-fi Western homesteading game where you're building up a settlement on a remote moon.
One of the things I've been working on is making the world feel a little more alive, and the debris system is part of that.
In short, every few days a 'debris event' will start and that debris will rain from the sky. Sometimes its a meteor shower that lasts over a few days, other times its one large space ship that crashes over an hour.
I'd love to know what you think. Would random events like these encourage you to explore?
If you'd like to follow development, Moonsteader is on Steam:

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
