The view of an astronaut flying through the aurora on the north pole of Jupiter. Jupiter is just a brown blob, and the aurora is a shiny blue veil. The sun and various stars can be seen in the background.
A screenshot of the game OutFly, where an astronaut is flying near a gigantic solar panel, their flashlight illuminating part of it. The sun casts a shadow of the astronaut onto the solar panel. Stars in the background. A green dotted cross in the background indicates the location of a "space bus station"
A screenshot of the space game OutFly showing a car-type thing with shiny coating that reflects light from the sun as well as from a neon pink PIZZA sign that's floating through space. You can see stars and a crescent of Jupiter in the background, and asteroids on the side. A faint veil crosses through the screen, which is the view onto the thin, dusty rings of Jupiter.
Inside a hilly crater of a small moonlet, showing the sun rising over a "new Jupiter" that is only a thin crest and otherwise completely black. There is a thin veil of dust on the right half of the screen, which are the rings of Jupiter in which the game takes place.
A current screenshot of OutFly showing a 3D scene, mostly black, with a car-like spaceship that reflects the sunlight, the sun and other stars in the background, a communications satellite that's being targeted by the UI, an asteroid with glowing light orbs and a big upside-down neon sign saying PIZZA, another asteorid that's seen from its shadow side and that's barely visible with just a crater illuminated, and various neon pink colored UI elements like O2, battery, health, speed, distance to target, cursor, and a warning light indicating a space suit leak.
✅ Added NPC Luna, the nerdy mechanic
✅ Added NPC Sus, the potato-shaped geologist
✅ Added gravity. Everything's now at orbital velocity and moves in real time
✅ Starting point orbits in real time too now. There's a ~10% chance to start in a Jupiter-Sun ecplise 😨
🚫 Generic asteroids currently broken, space is a bit more empty
Can you find out the secrets of the mysterious new NPCs?
The view onto the gas planet Jupiter, with an asteroid in front that features a cluster of light orbs illuminating a house-like structure on the dark side of the asteroid in cozy, warm orange light, with a free-floating pizza sign that shines in neon pink, and a small, dark creature that is only visible because it's in front of Jupiter and would otherwise blend in with the darkness. The creature is oddly shaped, a bit like a potato with two tentacles and small wings. There are stars in the background.
A model of a space suit that's shaped like a potato, with various attachments that look like thrusters and appendages. What's inside? Probably not a human.

A screenshot of the game OutFly with various objects and persons floating in space, casting shadows from a flashlight of the player who is visible from behind from a third-person perspective. This screenshot also demonstrates the new notification lights that look like car dashboard warning lights, with a blue high-beam icon for the active flashlight, and a yellow "suit leak" icon indicating that the suit is leaking oxygen. It also shows the new health bar, oxygen bar, and battery capacity bar, which also attempt a car-dashboard-like look.
