Hello explorers,
Good news: the main storyline of the game is done and the most game-systems are in place! We're perfectly on track for the Q1 2021 release.
We're currently deep in the polishing phase, that means, polishing the story (with the help of esteemed sci fi-writer Jack Nilssen, go read his books ːsteamhappyː), polishing the gameplay (ensuring it is a fun and gratifying experience), making the graphics even more awesome, optimizing for performance and handling playtester feedback.
A lot of things have changed since the last Development Update. For instance, we ditched the Task System in favor for a more metroidvania-like progression system and both the mentioned artifact and probe systems have gone through many iterations since. We've also made the cockpit a bit sexier:
We've also added localisation support, Steam achievements, HOTAS support, tons of new planetary systems, and much more.
That's it for now! Stay tuned for more updates.
Thanks for reading and we hope to see you soon in the mysterious deep space in Earth Analog.
