Greetings operatives.
A week ago we started collecting questions to answer in our Q&A. You seem to know a lot about The Burst already, huh? Well, not all of you, so here are some answers:
- Will there ever be free story dlc / paid content? We are not planning any DLCs as separate 'downloadable content' yet. But as you may know we are planning at least two new game modes, which are still under wraps, although I'm pretty sure we'll have something to show you soon enough ;)
- What was your scariest moment when the game released? It wasn't particularly scary, more like very... embarrassing. We couldn't bring the game to its desired state in the given time.
- When jump button? We have heard your request and added it to the list of features requested by players. We can't say exactly when we'll be able to implement it, but rest assured, we remember about it <3
- What was the most difficult thing during the development? Development in itself isn't easy, especially when work as a team. People need to be guided in the right direction, you have to acknowledge the limits you can push your project to. Some features require a lot of time and effort and the AI… Don't even get me started on it.
- Who is the woman you play as in the prologue? Nova is a rebel who comes from one of the UCE unruly colonies. Her role is to show the player the hook and jet-belt capabilities that "K" kindly provides her with. You'll see her at Bordergate though.
- How many unique endings are there?
There are 6 of them. Or 4 if you don't take variations into account. However, even variations have their own afterscene and monologue, so in my mind it counts as a legitimate ending.
No spoilers though ;) - Could the game`s setting be considered grimdark, and will there be lore of what is outside the prison planet? There is some lore indicating it, but you will have to look around to find out the exact details, as well as some social and political homages.
- Can you tell us a little bit more on the lore/ the world order in the game? The colony planet Damag experienced an all-out nuclear war about 40 years ago. It hasn’t recovered since, but considering that Damag is the only planet where people can mine a resource called Amplinium, something had to be done. So the United Coalition of Earth turned Damag into a penal colony planet. Convicts are sent here indefinitely to mine resources and trade them for food, water and other supplies. Saying that the universe itself experienced an apocalypse isn’t right. The planet did. And you will bear witness to the consequences of human greed.
And that's going to be all for today, operatives.
See you later!
