Hello explorers,
It's been a while since the last news bit on Earth Analog but rest assured: I'm still around and have been working hard on the next big (free) update: 1.2. which is expected Q1 2022!
Here follows an overview of the key features of the upcoming 1.2 update.
Procedurally generated galaxy
In addition to the existing planets of the game's linear quest the v1.2 update will introduce a fully procedurally generated galaxy consisting of randomly generated planetary systems. Discover thousands of unique systems on your way to a supermassive black hole. Go where you please and explore at your own pace.
Disembark
Disembark your spaceship and explore the fractal planets on foot. This adds whole new level of immersion to the game. Visit exoplanetary beaches, dynamic mountain ranges, living craters, etc.
Knowledge System
Collect data samples and complete knowledge studies to unlock new star sectors.
Autoland
With autoland, landing will become a quick routine. Flight in general will be easier in 1.2.
Improved planetary tech
The update will add many new phenomena, like binary and ternary star systems, different class stars, gas giants, weather, etc.
And more
1.2 will also bring a revamped UI, improved controls and many small improvements and tweaks.
This concludes the sneak peek at the upcoming 1.2. I'm very excited about this update and I hope you will be too. If you have any questions please post them below!
Cheers,
