Eating. Good.
But what? And how?
Fishing and farming potatoes in your base, for the moment
Can you please add a buildable chest or a trashcan-like thing?
Having 5 stacks of sand is pretty annoying, since there isn’t much to do with it.
Also, does the game save the progress already?
Because I played nearly 2 hours now and it would be pretty bad if all progress is now lost.

PS: I never see any of these water-currents/flows, is that normal?
Hey man, Im in love with your game
Really unique, unlike any game i’ve really seen out there.
Also very fun. Even now, before its incomplete state.
Ive done work with 3D modeling (Blender) and I’d love to help, so if your interested in me doing a model or two for you (free of charge of couse!) just shoot me an email (Saucymeatman@gmail.com) with a description of what you want and a file format to return it in (.fbx, .obj etc.)
Ive also done work with animations so if you need me to rig a model and animate it i’d be happy to do so.
I just release Alpha v10.1 'cause there were some real problem with difficulty balance in previous version, the game was way too hard!
If you want to see FarSky Alpha v10.0 gameplay, here is a video:

@saucymeatman: thanks a lot! Actually, I will think about the modding aspect of the game, so that people can add stuffs if they want to, and I would be able to integrate it if people enjoy them.
@Longor1996: I will now work on the beta version. The features you mentioned will be included in the first beta version, I did not have time to do it before.
I’m very impressed! I searched far sky gameplay on youtube (searching just Far Sky turns up a bunch of results for some Japanese band :P), and there’s already a bunch of videos out there! I think its really cool how you’re doing this, and I think you deserve more attention than you get because I mean look at the game, I could never have imagined one person could do that!
@opiop65: btw, I just noticed that. You should tape “Farsky” in youtube (no space, which is the actual name of the game). There are more than 100 videos of the game already
I just released FarSky Beta v1.0 !!

This update is mainly focused on the game saves, way bigger maps with a better generation algorithm, the submarine, craftable chests, the radio dialogs, music tracks and the resources extracting system.
You can buy it on my website http://www.farskygame.com
It was a bit long since last update, I had to build a company (called FarSky Interactive :D) which is pretty time consuming…
As I said earlier, I’m working on the game as a full time job. When you buy this game you support its development and help me to spend more time and money into it, plus it includes all updates and the final release!
The alpha version is still available for free of course!
Hope you’ll enjoy it
Great stuff! Let us know how the sales go, it’s always interesting to see a good project take off!

Wow I’ve been quietly lurking this thread while you were working on the alpha. Now you’ve released your first beta version, I cannot believe how far you came from your first version, the only one I’ve played before. I really hope this gets way more attention!
Thank you!
I’ll keep you inform, I think my experience can be used by any of you here who is developing games
For the moment, I only put my game on JGO, TIGsource & gamejolt (btw, gamejolt has a pretty good community of players, I recommend it). I’ll wait to have more content to put my game on indieDB, steam greenlight and others.
Here is the video from the same guy who did the alpha video. He follows my game pretty closely, which is really cool !

Just released Beta v2.0!

This update is mainly focusing on the krakens fight, the flooding system, new kinds of fish and gold which is a limited resource now.
Also 2 music tracks have been added, the one during the kraken fight is just awesome, very epic, I love it (done by Lapse: https://soundcloud.com/lapse)
Hope you’ll enjoy it
Wow, that fish that gives off light looks very cool!
Yep.
What is ‘the flooding system’ or what is it for?
Still amazing! (ugh sounds bad… it is of course increasingly amazing!)
Judging from the screenshot, it looks like your base can get flooded.
Thats why I asked why…
edit: or when.
@opiop65: trying to implement better looking assets now, glad you like it fish are now different depending on your depth.
@Drenius: Many krakens will attack you and try to break your base. They come regularly, but you can protect your base with harpoon cannons. Whenever they break a part of the base, water goes in and your base gets flooded. Broken walls can be fixed of course.
I made this video a week ago while I was working on the flooding system:

Very interesting.
Would be nice to also see how the krakens attack the base.
I’m about to release FarSky Beta v2.1 today!

This update mainly focuses on the base design. It now has lighting, levels, and the look & feel of it has been modified to make it look nicer and more realistic.
Also the workshop table system has been improved and redesigned
I’m currently spending more time on furniture and stuffs around the base.
If you want to see a video of v2.0 (previous version), here it is:

For the moment, the game is doing well. I have several sales everyday. It’s not very big, I could not live with that for the moment, but I did not launch the game on any platform (can only be bought from my website) and did not talk much about the game (only here, TIGforum & Gamejolt), so I’m pretty confident for the moment
That’s very cool! I’m glad you’re already getting sales, you should start promoting it very soon and building a base before releasing the next major version. Build some hype, release it and sit back and watch the sales come in
Good job!
