Hello pilots!
It’s been a crazy few weeks and the team is finally back in their respective locations as they work hard towards the launch of Nullstar: Solus! Just recently the team confirmed their beta complete build and is now working on getting all the final things in place for the main game.
A lot of this comes in the form of the game's decryption system. Some of you have noticed this in trailers, screenshots and at playtest sessions. So let’s go over the decryption system and how it ties to our narrative and unlocks.
The decryption system works as part of our narrative system, powered by Yarn Spinner, taking a page out of FromSoft games, the player unlocks the story through codex entries tied to how well you do in the main game.
Each medal time is tied to our progression where with each medal you earn (up to 3 per level) working towards unlocking a codex entry. Once you receive a certain number of medals, you unlock a codex entry.
These entries tell a small story within the world of Nullstar but also come with their own rewards ranging from ship skins, new ships (all of which handle a bit differently from the Solus and Titan) and give you access to the master levels. Remixed versions of previous levels, some of which you can play in the demo.
The codex paired with our leaderboards, 5 worlds and unlocks gives you a variety of options to play the game and experience the world of Nullstar. We look forward to having some launch details for you very soon.
Remember the demo is still available and is currently part of the Indie Brew demo disc which you can sign up for here.
See you out there soon pilots!
