Residual News

Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that I just pushed the release button on a new Orangepixel Steam release: Sir Questionnaire!

It's a quirky game at a bargain price, it provides hours of gameplay in a VERY small package: The game is played in single dungeon rooms, where you are given the choice to either "interact" or "get outta there!".



Do you attack the skulls? got enough health? got the right weapon for the lobsters? Got some magic left to hit the huge Wolf on his head? Dare to drink the milk before the next encounter?

A game of choices - how far can you venture into the dungeon? Come play Sir Questionnaire, and make sure to drop by on discord if you need tips & tricks!

Hey guys! It's Pascal from Orangepixel with a little update!

I wanted to let you know that there's a fresh new demo of Regulator City, the upcoming game I've been working on for a year now, and this demo gives a very nice feeling of where the game is heading!

So check it out over on the Regulator City page:

And don't forget to wishlist and perhaps come have a chat about it over on discord.gg/orangepixel:



And please! tell your friends about it, I could use all the help to get more people interested in the game in the coming months!

Well hey! It’s been a few months since the last update to Residual, the game has been a bit in limbo.. BUT I’m back with a renewed interest in building out the game to something bigger and better than ever!

To start the next phase of Residual, this update comes with some very welcome improvements to the whole interface screen. It was a bit tiny, a bit off, a bit.. just.. not.. right. Especially the Switch version with it’s small screen had some issues with that whole inventory design. The new inventory now also comes with a “Quick access” context sensitive selection of items: depending on your missions, your current status, and your current surroundings, this Quick Access menu will show you the most likely items you need to grab from your inventory.

I’ve been playing with these changes for a few weeks now, and that QA menu is extremely useful !

Besides the QA menu, you now also get a better view of crafting requirements, mission-required items, and just generally a big improvement over the old inventory screen!

On top of the new inventory screen, there are also a few good fixes and changes added to the game, as I’m preparing to dive back into the whole “Residual Chapter 2” update where we get to lift-off and actually navigate the stars to hop from planet to planet!

I do have one question to ask from you guys: please drop a review for the game on Steam, especially if you are liking it!
Reviews help push the game into more visible area’s on Steam, and will allow me to keep working on it and pushing updates

(Switch users: the update is coming your way, just takes a few extra weeks! – mobile gamers: soon you’ll be able to take Residual with you on iOS or Android – stay tuned!)

You play the leader of a team, taking out various gangs setting up base in Regulator City. I was inspired by the cool team-action you see in movies or tv-shows with special forces.. and in this game I want the player to feel part of such a team as you make your way through various apartments, industrial buildings, offices, etc.

Completing a range of interesting missions and slowly taking control of the city!

Anyway, come check out the demo, follow + wishlist the game, and hang out on Discord to talk ! (discord.gg/orangepixel)

A nice little update this time, where I few requested features and tiny fixes.  You will also note a few things in the changes list with a "Cepheus update" behind it. These are new changes and code for the big update that's coming. Most of those updates are being done without players running into them until we open up the new Cepheus galaxy... but it's still important for me to track these changes as they happen!

So the bigger changes in this little update, we now have a Recycler device!  As soon as you craft something new, the Recycler will be unlocked and the EDP can print one for you.  This device can then take any crafted item, and spit out the resources that were used to create it - should come in handy if you are running low on resources on some planets!

Map-markers was also requested a bunch of times, so you can now go into your visor, planet radar, and then use your action button to toggle markers on/off at the current location that you are in.  That way you can keep track of interesting areas on the map that you want to re-visit.

Finally, the Glucobomb will have a big more punch and use against things like the Slurper plants (those ceiling things with their grabby tongues) or the Techdrones zoomin around.

Besides that a few other smaller changes and fixes are pushed to the game.. so enjoy the update!

Full changes list:

• added: set your own marker (use X to toggle it on/off)
  
• added: Recycler device (breaks down crafted stuff into their core components)
  
• added: Total scanned creatures in Residex
  
• added: roofgenerators breaking down, now also remove the lights arround it
  
• added: Slurper plants can now be destroyed by Glucobomb
  
• added: Techdrones can be hit by glucobomb explosion
  
• added: UI-Zoom option (PC only)
  
• added: Landingship (Cepheus update)
  
• added: landing intro (Cepheus update)
  
• added: variable planet sizes (Cepheus update)
  
• fixed: French language version crashing game (Switch only)
  
• fixed: Teleporter getting stuck on top of Hologram device
