Hello Astro Hunters!🚀
It's time for another update from the development of our game. We are excited to share the latest advancements and improvements we've been working on. Recently, our game was featured in the UploadVR Summer Showcase, so our team also worked on the video ➡️
Also, our free demo was available during Steam Next Fest. Thank you to everyone who played our demo and provided invaluable feedback and suggestions. Your input helps us make the game even better!

Weapon Handling
Our team worked on weapon handling. You can now throw away weapons, switch them between hands, and perform awesome tricks! When you discard a weapon, it automatically disappears from your inventory. However, if you pick it up and place it on your belt or behind your back (as you put all the resources), it will seamlessly return to your inventory. Additionally, when you pick up a weapon, the corresponding magazine will automatically appear on your belt.
Inventory System
Our team has also been working on limited inventory. It is now divided into new categories and each category has its limits. This means you'll need to carefully choose what to bring on expeditions, leaving room to collect resources on the planet. But don’t worry—there's a perfect place for all your loot!
Storage Room
Yes, here you will be able to store all your items! We’ve been hard at work on the Storage Room. From its design and graphics to its logic and mechanics. We hope you will like the result. Soon we will show you some sneak peeks on our social media and Discord.
You can access your Storage Room from the Mothership. In the main room, there will be a control panel where you will be able to manage your storage rooms, unlock them, upgrade them to have more space, and buy new shelves. The rooms will be divided into: Resources, Crafting & Machinery, Storage and Armory.
Grenades
Introducing grenades—something that wasn’t available during the demo! Each grenade has a unique effect.
For now, four types of grenades are expected:
🔹Air Strike - starts a short air strike at the grenade blast location
🔹Healing Beacon - spawns a healing device that heals everyone around it
🔹Plasmatic Zone - a slowing zone ideal for closing choke-points
🔹Force Shield - a wall that blocks incoming damage
Players can take grenades from their tablet or directly from the wheel. We’re still fine-tuning the animations.
Crafting Stations
Now, you can craft more than one item at once. That’s something we had on our to-do list and also this was something you asked for in the demo feedback. Before, only one item of a given type could be crafted at a time. Now, you can craft as many items as you have materials for. Don’t worry about using too many resources—the crafting station will automatically give you back any excess.
What’s more?
- Safe zones: We added safe zones next to the Crafting Stations and the Commander where you can freely take out your resources without worrying that somebody can steal them. They are separated by blue barriers.
- Sound enhancements: We've refined the sounds of footsteps, animals, enemies and crafting stations.
- New UI: A new user interface has been implemented in the capsule and also in the watch. While on the planet, your watch will now display the time remaining until capsule extraction. It will also show the remaining operating time of the inhaler when in use.
Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being part of this journey.
