We have been busy! We are just returning from a trip to game conferences in Europe, testing online, and showcasing our immersive sci-fi adventure at festivals in the USA. Gamers have provided vital feedback about the project and this translated to dev sessions that will bring infinite procedural worlds and much more. This project will also see a brand update, from "Exo" to "Starlight" Specific things that will be changing with the reboot include:

Infinite procedural worlds
New hero model
New amazing soundtrack from Mystik Sound
New skies and exotic alien planets, species and cultures
Crafting and resource management
An astrolabe puzzle mechanic to decode stellar alignment
Land surveys and archeology
Map
Compass
Fast-travel
Video clips through each level telling a story of exploration and discovery
AR heads-up display and a complete UI rewrite
These features are all completed except crafting and survival. We will be going into a testing round early this summer. Once issues testing surface have been resolved, we will release, slated for Q4 2024. This was our first game, and we much appreciate early adopters and those who continue to show interest. We have learned so much and the original release, although seeing early attention and traction suffered from issues that prevented it from finding the audience it deserves. The Starlight reboot will be released with 4+ levels and priced based on the amount of content that we create. There will be more levels and all customers receive updates without additional costs. Follow us on Discord or Instagram for regular updates. Thank You!

Lost in Time and Space

Explore Exotic Exoplanets on a Search for Alien Life

Immersive Science Fiction Adventure
Discover new life, sentient species, and exotic exoplanets in this third-person exploration game from Superframe. Play as a research android launched from Earth to explore the Galaxy. Hundreds of light years from home, and traveling far into the future, voyage at close to the speed of light to neighboring exoplanets thought to harbor life.
4-Level Upgrade
Superframe is pleased to announce a 4-Level content upgrade for our immersive sci-fi adventure Exo. This early-release title is aiming for a full release late in 2023. The current price reflects the amount of content currently available and when the product launches all existing customers will receive the full game and an art ebook at the discounted early-release price.
Immersive Adventure
With a focus on exploration, this game finds you exploring alien landscapes and communicating your findings back to Mission Control back on Earth. As you travel among the stars, you will encounter signs of a lost alien race. Follow in their footsteps as you voyage to exoplanets that orbit within the habitable zone of their host stars. Finding alien species, discovering sentient lifeforms, and collecting alien relics are some of the tasks you will need to accomplish to complete your missions. Equipped with a star drive, a powerful jetpack, and a research drone to help you map the worlds you visit, you have everything you need to explore the wonders of the Universe.
Solar-Powered with an Unlimited Lifespan.
As a solar-powered android, you have an unlimited lifespan and the ability to explore indefinitely. Traveling in stasis for the many years it takes to travel the Cosmos, conditions on Earth are constantly evolving. With voyages lasting decades, each time Exo reports back home, life for humanity has changed, as does the space agency and your role as Earth’s envoy to the stars.
Key Features:

Travel the Galaxy as a solar-powered research android with an unlimited lifespan
Explore habitable exoplanets that have been discovered here on earth
Discover and record alien species, sentient life, and archeological relics
Solve puzzles left behind by an alien race communicating in Earth’s most ancient written language
Map alien terrains with a helper drone that travels with you
Communicate your findings to Mission Control on Earth with quantum communication technology
Follow events on Earth as you travel deeper into the Cosmos and farther forward in time
Uncover the mystery of a lost race and learn about our origins in the Universe

Alien Threats and Resource Collection
New Features:

Alien Threats that Must Be Avoided
Resource Collection
Faster Low-Gravity Walking Speed
Additional Audio to Help Solve the Holographic Puzzle
Our customers are asking for features and we are busy completing the code base before building out the next release with four new levels. We have all of the content for the next update and are currently assembling the pieces. With this update, the player will now be able to collect resources and avoid dangerous species. Extended encounters with alien creatures will beam the player back to the level origin, permanently losing the resources they have collected. We are adding two team members and polishing the pitch deck. Next, we will be contacting publishers and seeing if there is a potential good fit. Either way, the four level-demo is going to happen and will be available to all current and future customers.

Our users have been providing great feedback and we have been hard at work incorporating it. We are also happy to announce that we will be working with the very talented minds at Mystik Sound to create an amazing soundtrack for the game. There is now a narrative layer with Exo now communicating with Mission Control through the portal via radio contact. We have created a new player model for the research android. The helper drone has seen a rewrite, with it mapping the world on its own initiative. The player can still control it but left to its own initiative, it will map all of the items necessary to complete the level. Scientific surveys have also been added that players can complete, with the player learning more about the alien worlds it visits. There have been several UI enhancements, a DNA gathering challenge, and multiple bug fixes.

Exo Android and Mission Control narration
New Player skin for the International Space Agency's research android Exo
Drone rewrite, with the drone mapping all necessary items to complete the level
New interdimensional portal model
Scientific surveys the player can complete to learn more about the alien worlds.
The ability to show and hide markers
DNA puzzle (WIP)
UI enhancements

We have been busy incorporating feedback and have a new music partnership in the works with an amazingly talented DJ/Electronic artist. New updates include

New UI Screens
PS4 and XBOX controller setups
The ability to invert the y-axis on controllers
The ability to save and load levels
The ability to change graphics settings while in-game
The puzzle mechanic should be clearer and plans include adding a narrative layer to better orient players. If you play the demo, please consider filling out our survey! Our hope is to have the community help us craft this game into something special. We are keeping things a little bit mysterious, but there are challenges and a puzzle that needs to be solved to open the Stargate. You will still need a mouse and keyboard to get things set up and the game is more enjoyable if you have a controller around. Exo Demo Survey
