Ostranauts News

Hey Folks!

I'm waaay past due for another video, so here's what we've been up to!





We've got a new lighting renderer, choose-your-own-adventure character generation, AI job management system, and as always, new art!


New Lighting, CYOA Chargen, Crew Jobs, and New Art

In this video, we try out the new AI job management system, haul some loot, demo some walls. We also take a tour of Chris's latest work on the improved lighting system. The career generation process shows a new interactive feature. And last, but not least, Charlie's latest concept art!

If this sounds interesting to you, please wishlist Ostranauts on Steam here. Wishlisting it will give me an idea how much interest there is in this game, and how much time I can spend on it.

And if you know anyone else who might dig this type of game, let them know! Spreading awareness is something everyone can do to help me continue to make games like this.

Thanks for your time, and stay tuned for more spacelife news!

Hey Folks!

We've been busy over at Blue Bottle Games since the Ostranauts teaser launch, and I wanted to share some of the highlights from the past month.





Well, if you have a minute, I've cut a video to walk through some of the more interesting changes:

New Concept Art, Power Grids, and Repairs

In the video, I show off the latest concept art for K-Leg, a shipbreaking facility on 1036 Ganymed. I also walk through firing-up a ship's inertial confinement fusion reactor, new pathfinding code, uninstalling and reinstalling equipment, a new context menu, and a recap of how character generation works.
