Future
I have been thinking about Go Outside Simulator recently, I'm pleased people enjoy the joke and (oddly enough) still play it. I have learned a lot since I first made this, and Ive been working on some VR therapy oriented things (which was the original goal of GOS next to the whol

I will admit I have been neglecting this one, working on other things and the like. Anyway I am now moving it out of early access with this new update.

Fixed errors in Forest day
Fixed errors in Forest night
Redid Desert
Added new level – Minefield
Added new Level – Retro
Fixed textures in many places
Fixed pause menu
Started adding more secret levels
Modified audio
Fixed a few invisible walls
I will continue to add more things to it, such as more secret levels that can only be accessed by finding them in the main levels. Easter eggs, and probably more full levels in the future. This is an older project, it does not look great. But it's fun to pick away at when I have the time, and I kept the new levels within the visual look of older levels (simple-ish textures, no complex shaders). I had thought about completely re-making the levels with newer stuff and better visuals, but that would require basically remaking the entire game. So I will save that for the possible sequel that people have asked for that may happen in the future, "Go Outside Together". Although I have been struggling with making multiplayer work in my latest game "Flank Speed" (check it out if you like arcade games or making fun of my design choices and possible spelling errors) because setting up networking is difficult for me apparently.
Enjoy the outdoors.

Next update
It has been a long time, and I know this is just a joke of a game. But I am still working on it. I've been working on a couple new game projects that are actual real games (as well as other work because money is required to live). However I do plan on finishing up the next big up

New update, it feels small, but it's a lot of groundwork for the next update. One thing that has been added is interactivity. I've finally started adding the ability to interact with things in different ways. It's very basic right now but more stuff will be added. One thing this adds is new secrets to find in each environment. Easter eggs may not always be passive anymore.
However be warned, as the title suggests the outdoors are a bit more dangerous. The ability to die is now present.
No lives or health bars, so your exploration can still be calm and relaxing. But if you die your walk in that environment ends.
So go out and explore, find new things, look for secrets. More secrets, more interactivity, and more amusing ways to end your walks will be added. Also I'm still trying to figure out multiplayer, I have not given up on that.
Change log:

Added death
Interactivity overhaul
Added first secret environment (you will need to find it)
Texture update Mars
Texture update Island
Terrain update Arctic
Terrain update Forest winter
Terrain update Forest day
Moved object from Moon
Added new object to Island

Next update incoming
Although I don't always have time for this game I am always picking away at it and thinking of new ways to improve it. To that end the next update will have some improvements and a new gameplay feature that will enhance the outside experience. No spoilers but it will be a simple

About the new environment in the latest update
Ok I pushed an update for the first time in a year. It's mostly just small fixes and improvements. I also tossed in the new map I've been working on. It's horrifically broken. Play it as you can because i'm probably removing it in the next update and will not put it back in until

I know very few people actually care about this project but I am still working on it. I’m actually very surprised and pleased to see how well it has gone considering its 50% joke and 50% learning experience. All that being said the next update will be a big one and will likely pu

The 0.5 update is now here. It's a few weeks late due to a crash and corruption situation of one of the new environments when I was first building it. Was a set back but in the end everything worked out. I'm already working on the next update, it won't be as big but it will add a new and very strange environment that i'm excited to add and I think people will enjoy.

It never ends... Well back at it!
