FarSky

@opiop65: Thats right, but dont do that before having at least a playable prototype. In this case there is one, so its just right. But do not slow down working!

This game is getting better and better, but is there still permadeath?
If so, it does not really fit to a game where you build your existence:
Imagine you have played for ours, built a huge base and got everything to work and then there is … maybe just some kind of lag at the wrong moment, you get killed by something and poof, everything you have done is lost forever.
This does not really give most players a reason to continue playing…

At the moment there is notmuch to say about the new version for me, but the screenshot looks very good, the lighting and especially the multiple layers and I really hope you succeed!

Really great news! I hope that you will sell enough to keep working on the game full time. It’s a really nice inspiration! :slight_smile:

I agree with Drenius, permadeath is too harsh, especially for a game such as this.

Actually permadeath is only for the Alpha. Since Beta v1.0, there is no permadeath anymore. When you die, you just lose some items from your inventory and respawn in the last base you entered. :slight_smile:

I’m about to release FarSky Beta v2.3 today!

This update mainly focuses on doors (which stop water flooding), barracudas, cookers and some other small features. Also, all your inventory is dropped on the floor when you die now.

PS: yes, I did not talk about v2.2, that is because it was a bug fixing update only, haha!

Nice game. I like the atmosphere.
Played the Alpha.

Will you implement any challanges, such as a simple racing course or hunting challange?
Gives the player some micro-goals.

Also, a Wiki and Forum would be cool for the users.

Неплохой проект – коммерческого успеха тебе.

Спасибо тебе за то что ты ещё раз открыл мне глаза на людей.
Это просто удивительно насколько люди эгоистичны и абсолютно не ценят труд окружающих.

И да я говорю про свой проект: нет я не говорю что он чем-то лучше твоего.
Но абсолютное безразличие на фоне твоего просто поражает,
Я никогда не просил покупать мою игру или давать мне денег – всё версии моей игры были бесплатные и без всяких комерчиских обманов через которые тупо выманиваются деньги
(которых как ни странно я знаю не мало(пре продажи с крутыми плюшками учасников , крутые рендеры ни имеющеё никакого отношения к игре, подделка счетчика продаж чтоб вызвать интерес, купленные ревю, обещания крутой механики и тд), но ни использовал ни одного)

Я даже сорс дал и как ни странно люди настолько эгоисты и неужеди так сложно проявить уважение, что даже 1 медальку не смогли дать – хотя это тупо 1 клик мышкой.
Как результат у рендера (по факту) больше гребных медалек чем у бесплатной игры с открытым исходным кодом.

Знаете что господа вам не нужны бесплатные игры, вам нравится когда вас обманывают, вы сами создаете тот говняный мир в котором вы и здохните, и нечего потом плакать.

А мне тут делать нечего с такими уродами как вы.

Good project - commercial success to you.

Thank you for what you have once again opened my eyes to people.
It’s just amazing how people are selfish and does not appreciate the work of others.

And yes I’m talking about your project : no I’m not saying that he is any better than yours.
But absolute indifference on your background is simply amazing ,
I never asked to buy my game or give me the money - all the versions of my games were free and without any Commercial deceptions through which stupidly rook
( which oddly enough , I know a lot of (pre -sale buns of participants with steep , steep renderings nor has any relation to the game, fake counter sales to generate interest purchased revue promises cool mechanics , etc.) , but none have used none)

I even gave sors and oddly enough people are so selfish and really so hard to respect that even one could not give a medal - although it’s stupid one mouse click .
As a result in the render (in fact ) more than rowing medal free game open source

Gentlemen, you know what you do not need free games , you will like it when you cheat, you create your own one shitty world in which you and die , and then there is nothing to cry.

And then I have nothing to do with such **** as you.

the above is a good example of a confusing rant.
hehe, he even had to use a translator :point:

I get what he’s trying to say, but I’m not entirely sure what (or who?) he is referring to.

Really?! Respect!

However, awsome project (again…).
Could you add a gameplay video?

@Damocles: Well, you say that at the right moment. I was really focusing on the gameplay, and I’m currently working on the goal of the game. I can’t say too much about it as it is still in progress.
@Icecore: I don’t understand if this is nice to me or not, or to others. You seem to be angry at something for sure, I don’t know what. Please stay respectful and polite. :slight_smile:
@Drenius: I will make a trailer video in a few weeks. I don’t have the time to make a gameplay video for the moment. Here is a link to a Brazilian video of Beta v2.2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKsPm29cce0 (has been seen 18 000 times in 10 days, OMG! ;D )

Brilliant progress, I have been watching this game since the begging and now that it is looking like something I might buy I just have to say well done.

ever time i open the application it switches between not responding and loading until main title where as soon as i hit new game it stops responding totally. this is the most recent beta

@stonewalltony:
sorry for that. There is a simple way for me to understand why it does not work for you (you would just need to send me a file). It does not require a lot of time (maybe 1 or 2 minutes), but I would understand if you don’t want to do that:

  • open the Launcher (not the game, just the launcher)
  • click on “Options”
  • then click on “Open log folder”
  • A new window should open with a file inside called “farsky.log”. Can you send me this file to play@farskygame.com please?

Sorry for the trouble, really.
In any case, don’t hesitate to email me (same address), I don’t like to leave someone in this kind of situation :confused:

The guy in the video kept saying Far Sky as in Farski. Is that how you have to pronounce it?

you’re right, he does not pronounce it right. The idea is “far from the sky”. He told me after he was sorry about this, but it is really not a problem. Actually saying farski is kind of cool! but it does not have any meaning, so… :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey everyone!
I just put on youtube the first trailer of FarSky! Hope you’ll like it!

By the way, the waves you see at the end are rendered inGame and will be in beta v3.0 release. I’m pretty proud of the final result 8) haha! (Making realistic waves is actually easier than I though. You only need a simple vertex shader with cos and sin maths in it)
Anyway, I’ll launch the next update tomorrow or the day after, so really soon!
I also just updated the website! If you want to check it out, it’s right here: http://www.farskygame.com

The trailer is amazing. Those waves at the end… wow. When are you going to put this on Steam greenlight?

@Troubleshoots: well, it should be for Monday or Tuesday of next week!! ;D

I just released FarSky Beta v3.0 today!

Main features are: Adventurer & Survivor game modes, and day&night cycles.
The goal of the game is now to fix your submarine and reach the surface. I’ll add the sandbox mode soon to mess around with no objective.
Take advantage of the day to explore and collect resources. At night, predators are more numerous and more aggressive!
