Icarus News

s long as there have been videogames, there have been penalties for dying in videogames. In the earliest days dying meant losing out on a high score or having to put another coin in the arcade machine. As technology progressed, so did our protections against the harshest deaths—we got saves, checkpoints, bonfires. But a few game developers decided all that progress was nonsense. Games didn't just need to be harder, actually—they needed to be mean as hell...

Week Seventy Five brings both a new mission, ENCROACHMENT: Extermination, and various bug fixes

This new mission will have you gathering information and valuable extermination data on various creatures inhabiting Styx.

We also have an update about Galileo. We have now entered the internal testing phase and are planning to release a closed public test build soon. We are looking forward to receiving feedback from players before launch.

Jump in and have a read.





ENCROACHMENT: Extermination is a new mission on the Styx map where players have to establish a foothold and hunt various targets as they progress through the mission.

Players will need to build across most of the central Styx region, and will receive additional targets to hunt as they expand their reach across the map. Here’s your Mission Briefing:

ENCROACHMENT: Extermination

//OPERATOR: UDA
// BIOME: The Great River
// BACKGROUND: UDA requires additional information on Styx wildlife.
// MISSION: Establish a foothold throughout the region, receive additional hunt targets as you expand.
//TERMS: Contractor responsible for all safety concerns.

Mission requires building across most of the central Styx region and killing a set amount of animals in each biome.

While teaming up with others can be beneficial for building in multiple biomes and sharing the workload, solo play is just as fun in this mission. If you choose to travel alone or break away from your group, don’t forget to approach each objective with caution. This is Icarus after all.





This week we had a team-wide playtest of Galileo where we collected a heap of valuable feedback. Fishing was a stand-out feature for many of us and it didn’t take long for things to get quite competitive between our devs. We had a lot of fun with it. We can’t wait to see how much our community enjoys reeling in their latest catch.

In the lead-up to the release of Galileo we thought we’d start taking a look at some of the individual features we have in store for you. First up this week is our new batch of Steam Achievements! These range from challenges like unlocking all the creatures in the Bestiary to catching a fish with a bow and arrow to events like getting struck by lightning twice.

You’ll find a few of our favorites listed below. Can you guess what will be needed to unlock these?

• Pain in the Bass
  
• Pony Slaystation
  
• Biome is where the Heart is
  
• Lock, Stock, and lots of Bears
  
• Buck and Cover
  
• Welcome to Icarus
  

Our merch shop is now back online with a few exclusive pieces from our initial launch back on sale. These range from T-Shirts to pins and desk-sized mousepads. Get in quick to lay your claim to being part of the First Cohort! You can access the shop here.







While things at the studio can get competitive when it comes to Smash Bros or ‘Peer Pong’ or fishing in Icarus, we’re united in our love of making games and our vision for the studio is to learn how to develop and support amazing game ideas. This hasn't always been easy, as many of you have seen in our journey with ICARUS. Our teams share lessons actively, borrowing and sharing from each. We'd love for you to check out another of our projects, STATIONEERS, that we also regularly update and redo. Our philosophy of removing DRM and making games that can outlast their creators has applied to both ICARUS and STATIONEERS, and we've love your support by checking out our other products.

Week Seventy Four brings both a new dynamic mission, SMPL3: Lost, and fixes to the dynamic mission system to clean up some errors that have affected players over the last couple of weeks.

This new quest will have you searching for an abandoned prospector base, a new variation of a dynamic mission we haven’t done before.

We also give an update on Galileo as we move into the internal testing phase, and discuss our upcoming closed public test build for players to give us feedback before launch.

Jump in and have a read.





Dynamic Missions have been incredibly popular since we introduced them in Week Fifty, so we’re excited to bring you another new option that you can launch from the Short Range Radio in Open World.

SMPL3: Lost is a new dynamic mission where players have to locate an old, abandoned prospector’s base on the surface of Icarus.

Players will need to quickly rebuild the structure while creatures attack your position. Once complete, players can place a beacon down for the UDA to mark its location on the map.

You will also be able to loot the base for old prospector gear when you first arrive, so keep an eye out for what might be lying around.





We’ve made some fixes and tweaks to our SMPL3 missions, looking to clean up some of the issues that have been affecting you.

• Triggering a new SMPL3 mission or abandoning previous ones will now trigger and clean up any remaining old map icons, quest objects and landed transport pods that may have encountered an error when trying to clean themselves up in the past
  
• This should remove old map markers, search areas and other mission-related details from players' open worlds
  

Our upcoming content patch, Galileo, is almost ready and is now being internally tested by our entire team.

For those unaware, Galileo is the first of our bigger content patches as part of our new cadence, which you can read about here.

Our Steam Cards, Badges, Profiles and Emotes were all approved by Valve, and are ready to release. These will be revealed when Galileo launches, so check them out in the Steam Workshop very soon.

Fishing is receiving one more iteration, as we make tweaks to the mechanics so it feels more reactive and engaging for players. This will go into testing alongside everything else very soon.

We are also preparing a closed public test build for Galileo and will start some closed testing soon before making it fully public. Joining the Discord is your best way to get any updates on whether we need players to test this in advance of launch.

Week Seventy Three brings Seed Packets for our recently introduced fruit and vegetables to the Orbital Workshop.

It’s also been one of our biggest weeks of work on the upcoming Galileo patch, as we’ve made substantial progress on all three key features: Fishing, Achievements and the Bestiary.

While smaller in terms of content, this week we’re giving you a sneak peek into fishing as we move closer to the launch of this much-anticipated feature.

Jump in and have a read.





We’ve added seed packets for our recent fruit and vegetable additions to the Orbital Workshop. These include Avocado, Kumara, Strawberry & Rhubarb, so players can now access these without having to complete SMPL3 quests in Open World mode.

When used on the planet these provide 5 seeds each, so multiple packets can be a good idea for larger groups of players and longer deployments.





While this might be the smallest weekly update we’ve done, that’s because the team went fishing!



This has been a big week for work on the upcoming Galileo patch. We’ve added lots more fish to the available pool, tested the animations and mechanics thoroughly and worked on the UX of the fishing hook.

We’ve also submitted all content on the internal systems for achievements, badges, profiles and emotes so these can move through Steam’s approval process. This process can take a couple of days, so we’re getting these in early so they’re ready when we launch Galileo.

We’ve also completed a substantial pass on the UI/UX of the Bestiary, completing many of the outstanding tasks required to move this to the final stages of its work.





We are seeking motivated and passionate individuals to join our volunteer localization team to help bring Icarus to more players.

Right now we are only seeking volunteers for Spanish (LATAM) and Brazilian Portuguese, but other languages may be considered in future. By volunteering, you will be helping us to make our game accessible to a wider audience, and contribute to the growth and success of the Icarus community as a whole.

Furthermore, you will have the chance to connect with like-minded individuals and form new relationships in a supportive and collaborative environment. You can translate as little or as much as you want, whenever you have time.

So, if you are fluent in English and Spanish (LATAM) or Brazilian Portuguese and have a passion for language and gaming, we encourage you to apply today and become a part of our localization team!

You can find the link here

Please ensure that you have joined the Survive Icarus Official Discord when applying, otherwise, we won’t be able to process your application.

Only successful applicants will be contacted (via Discord).

We also want to give our current localization team a huge shout out for the incredible work they have been doing lately, you all rock!

Week Seventy Two is here and brings a revamp of our bullet recipes and the introduction of our first explosive bullets.

Craftable at level 30, explosive bullets add a new variation for your firearms, with the new ‘Volatile Material’ resource introduced to create the recipe, and usable across rifles, pistols and shotguns.

We’ve also added ‘Ammo Casings’ to the bullet recipe requirements, giving players 5x more bullets per ingot invested.

Finally, we’ve deployed even more elements to our Fishing and Bestiary features in the upcoming Galileo, as we draw ever closer to its release.

Jump in and have a read.





We’ve revamped our bullet recipes in lieu of our introduction of Explosive Bullets, to provide a more granular and realistic resource investment that decreases the cost-per-bullet overall.

This includes a new item, ‘Ammo Casings’ which are crafted using Iron Ingots.

Ammo Casings come in stacks of five, at the cost of a single Iron Ingot. This changes the flow from:

OLD: 1 Iron Ingot → 1 Bullet
NEW: 1 Iron Ingot → 5 Ammo Casings → 5 Bullets.

For specific recipes, this replaces the use of an ingot to create a single bullet, to give ammo casings, giving you 5x as many bullets per ingot invested. To balance this out, rifles now take two gunpowder opposed to one, to offset the cost reduction in ingots.

The only difference is Shotgun Buckshots, which now have the recipe:

OLD: 1 Copper Ingot + 6 Gunpowder + 1 Epoxy = 1 Shotgun Buckshot
NEW: 1 Ammo Casing + 5 Copper Nail + 6 Gunpowder + 1 Epoxy = 1 Shotgun Buckshot.

Explosive Bullets have been added to the ammo pool and can be used across Pistols, Rifles and Shotguns.

Explosive Bullets have slightly reduced projectile damage, but make up for it with a lot of explosive damage that is dealt in a radius with a falloff. Potentially hitting multiple targets within the radius. See their breakdown below.

Pistol Explosive Round: 50 Projectile Damage, 200 Explosive Damage, 400 Radius
Rifle Explosive Round: 200 Projectile Damage, 300 Explosive Damage, 500 Radius
Shotgun Explosive Round: 20 Projectile Damage, 50 Explosive Damage, 350 Radius

This recipe is restricted until you reach level 30, and can be crafted at the machining bench.

This requires a new resource, Volatile Material. This has its own recipe of 2x Gunpowder, 2x Oxite and 2x Spoiled Plants, which can be applied on top of a standard bullet to craft the explosive variant.

Volatile Material can be crafted at the Mortar & Pestle or Chemistry Bench, but is only volatile for 10 minutes, and must be used in crafting an item such as explosive bullets within that timeframe to keep its potency.

We’ve also updated the Frag Grenade Recipe to account for this new resource. Instead of 10x Gunpowder it now uses 2x Volatile Substances, a more accurate reflection of a realistic recipe.

In addition explosive damage and the radius of explosions are now completely stat driven and is now visible on the Grenade & Larkwell Explosive Arrow, Damage has also been adjusted.

Grenade
OLD: 200 Explosive Damage, 1500 Radius
NEW: 1000 Explosive Damage, 1500 Radius

Larkwell Ballistic Arrow
OLD: 200 Explosive Damage, 500 Radius
NEW: 300 Explosive Damage, 500 Radius

We also adjusted Grenades of all types to now stack to 5.

We’ve also tweaked the blueprints in the blueprints tree for guns and ammo, rearranging the order slightly and adjusting the Incendiary Rounds blueprint to no longer be exclusive to rifles but include pistols as well.





Galileo is drawing ever closer, and this week's work has been on adding more elements to the features we’ve discussed before.

Fishing has received a few more species, giving players, even more to catch, record, and display. We’ve also been iterating on the Fishing minigame mechanics and revisiting the spawn maps to polish up the experience.

The Bestiary has also received a UX pass, and we’ve iterated on the UI while adding an extra feature for players.

Finally, we’ve been testing our Steam Trading Cards in the Steam dev environment, alongside setting up the achievements for localization.
