October Updates
Hi everyone! Happy (almost) Halloween! 👻We’re back again this month to show off some more of our progress as we work towards our big EA launch next year. The main things we’ll be showing off this month are some more of our NPC lander progress, as well as some extremely adorable animals. 👀Definitely stay until the end to see these cuties!
Of course, as always, things are still work in progress and subject to change between now and Early Access.
[h3]Sally’s Lander[/h3]
Sally has just landed at your outpost and is ready to become a part of the colony. Upon her landing, you’ll need to welcome her and have a couple of conversations to help build your relationship with her. She’s always looking to learn about others, so you might get some odd questions, like this one:
Now to her lander! As you can see, it's a little cramped in there, but it’s just enough to keep Sally feeling right at home.
[h3]Leeloo’s Lander[/h3]
Leeloo is actually one of our Kickstarter backers' creations. While we don’t have Leeloo ready to show off just yet, we do have her lander! Leeloo is a botanist, which you can definitely see from her natural themed decor throughout her lander.
[h3]Colony Center[/h3]
Our colony center has a beautiful rock formation surrounding it. It's all coming together for our beautiful desert planet. This, of course, won't be the exact angle that you see it from in the game, but we had to give you all a nice look at it!
[h3]Cute Animals![/h3]
You may have seen some of these cuties on our social media previously, but they’re getting some new animations. They can now show off their emotions a bit more and really let you know if you’ve hurt their feelings. Hopefully once you’re in the game, you won’t see these very often.
[h3]Discord AMA[/h3]
Earlier this month, we did an AMA with our game director, Manu Floret, in our community Discord. Our amazing community asked all kinds of questions about the game and we want to showcase some of those questions and answers as you may have those same questions!
Q: What sort of things will be included in Early Access at launch?
A: Fishing, animals (like the ones you see above), water and power systems, insects, shops, prospecting and maintanence!
Q: Are there seasons?
A: Yes! Radiant (24 days), Autumnal (16 days), Boreal (24 days), and Vernal (16 days). Weeks on this planet are 8 days long, thus the length of the seasons being multiples of 8.
Q: Is gene splicing still going to be a thing?
A: Yes! It likely won't be in our Early Access but will be there in our 1.0 launch.
Q: Will there be character customization?
A: Yes! It will pretty limited, but there will be some customization.
