"Galactic Merchants" - another first insight

A second video insight into the universe of the browser game "Galactic Merchants". In this 5-minute gameplay tour, we take a trip through different space sectors to showcase the current state of development, NPC behavior, and the UI. Please keep in mind that much of what you see is still "greyboxing" (placeholder models and visuals) and the custom engine is undergoing continuous refactoring. But step by step, the universe is coming to life! :) What’s in this video: 0:00 - Sector 1: Mining area, stations & NPC flyaround 1:27 - Automated NPC landing via beacon 2:17 - Inventory dashboard and info panels 3:28 - Jump Gate transition 4:00 - Sector 2: Busy sector with lots of NPCs and sector map view 4:40 - Sector 3: Flight controls & ship maneuvering in a quiet system Tech details for the curious: The game is powered by a custom backend built in JavaScript/ESM (optimized for V8), with models generated from JSON-based primitives.
