Exot Playtest News

Hello everyone!

To thank the streamers for their commitment, we've decided to release an update specifically tailored to their comments, which has generally been very positive (thanks to them), and their suggestions.

[h3]INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]

• Added a shortcut to open the crafting menu (F)
  
• Added the ability to increase the size of interfaces (useful for 4K screens)
  

[h3]CRAFTS AND CONSTRUCTIONS[/h3]

• It is now possible to plant multiple items without having to click each time
  
• Changed the color of items when placing them for better visibility
  
• The recipe book is now accessible in workshops, even if a recipe is already in production
  
• Display, on workshops, of the current recipe and the time remaining for its crafting (text displayed under the workshop name when aiming it)
  

[h3]GAMING COMFORT[/h3]

• The hoverboard remains stationary when you access your inventory (it no longer falls back to the ground)
  
• The ability to eat an item is blocked if the hunger/life bar is already full
  
• Hoverboards are now displayed on the world map and compass
  
• An option has been added to play music continuously (without pauses)
  
• Added the ability to place markers on the world map (also visible in the compass)
  

We've also, of course, fixed the bugs reported to us in recent weeks (C.L.I.C. Punch on gorems, missing translations, etc.).

The full list of features in this update is available on our Discord.

We look forward to your feedback to see if these adjustments work for you !

See you soon !

Hello everyone !

There's a bit more light on the news in the Exot galaxy this week, but we still want to keep you up to date on the project :)

Several updates are currently being developed on our end.
They will be released in the coming weeks, if all goes well!

At the same time, we're continuing to connect with other content creators on Twitch and YouTube.
The first Twitch streams should be coming soon: We'll let you know the broadcast dates as soon as we have them :)

Exot also launched on TikTok this week to reach a wider audience.
Feel free to follow us on that platform too: @exot-game

See you soon !

Hello everyone !

Today we're releasing a new update to the game, which brings adjustments to music management and the behavior of hostile creatures.

[h3]MUSIC AND ATMOSPHERE[/h3]
To begin, we've changed the way music is integrated into the game. To add more variation to the soundtrack, we've decided to no longer play it continuously.
In addition, the music now corresponds to different atmospheres : resting in the ship, wandering the islands, navigating the menu, etc.

[h3]MOBS AND FIGHTS[/h3]
As promised, we've adjusted the behavior of aggressive creatures to make combat more fair ;)
We've reduced the speed, health, and damage of Gorems and Pikeris. You should be able to escape them, and, for the more adventurous, confront them, with less difficulty!
We've also improved the firerate of weapons to make combat a little more "comfortable".

[h3]EXOLEM BEHAVIOR[/h3]
Exolem behavior has also been changed. Before this update, Exolems launched their attack as soon as you entered their defense zone (about ten meters around their rock).
Now, if you enter this zone, they will simply observe you at first. They will only attack you if you get close enough to their rock to be able to mine it.
Of course, if you attack them from a distance, they will retaliate !

We look forward to your feedback to see if these adjustments work for you !

See you soon !

Hello everyone !

Today we're releasing our first major update for Exot : the Creative Mode !
This new mode brings a whole new dimension to the game.
A new gameplay experience awaits you : you can now explore the galaxy, free from any constraint, taking full advantage of its sandbox aspect.

You'll be able to create the spaceship of your dreams without worrying about gathering the necessary resources, completely develop your islands, and do whatever you can think of without having to defend yourself against the hostile creatures of this galaxy.

You'll also have the opportunity to test Exot's more complex mechanics to familiarize yourself with certain facets of the game.

Here are the details of all the actions available in a Creative Mode game :

• Ability to craft the entire catalog (all recipes are unlocked)
  
• Ability to build all the spaceship's rooms and walls
  
• You start the game with all C.L.I.C. upgrades unlocked
  
• You start the game with 1,000,000,000 Exols
  
• No health or hunger management
  
• No enemy spawning. You can, however, temporarily spawn them with the F3 key : this will allow you to test your supercharged weapons in real time !
  
• No achievement management - that would be too easy ;)
  

A few small adjustments have also been added in this update :

• Ability to assign mouse keys to controls (except right and left clicks, which are reserved by the system)
  
• No filling of the action bar when clicking the "Collect All" button in chests (the inventory will be filled first - the action bar will only be filled if the inventory is full)
  
• Ability to overwrite an existing backup
  

Following your feedback, we've learned that the Exotian creatures may have seemed a little too aggressive ;)
The next update will therefore mainly focus on balancing this aspect, to make the game more accessible to everyone !

Exot will remain a hostile galaxy, but we'll be making sure the fights are fairer, especially at the beginning of the game :)

See you soon !
