Reprisal game dev diary

It’s been a while, but ICARUS.1 is released and out now! My first attempt at a 3D / first person adventure game.

You can get hold of ICARUS.1 from the following places for PC: Steam: - store.steampowered.com/app/395470/ Humble Store: - https://www.humblebundle.com/store/icarus-1

-

Abandoned for decades, crew MIA, the ICARUS.1's job was to store mined minerals from the systems outlying planets and perform research duties. Orbiting the local sun to maintain it's solar energy and live up to its namesake, it provided a lucrative business for JME corp. After contact was lost no rescue attempt was ever made with the stricken station, instead the project was mothballed along with its precious cargo - a cover up some may say. Many stories about what happened have become lore but Sam isn't focusing on these 'stories', the goal is the cargo and the wealth it will bring.

Again thank you for your feedback over the last couple of weeks, happy to say a second update is now available to download on Steam and GOG.  You can change the size of the game view! When in a game, pause then change the View Port size (small, Medium and Large) Slower systems may take a hit on the Large setting but have a try. Also turn off the Tilt-Shift effect if this happens and see how that goes.  Genesis Islands  There is this new play type on certain islands called 'Genesis islands'. These islands fight to return to their original self while your waging your campaign! Ever minute or so the land quakes and reforms slowly as it trys to return to it's original Genesis self before any Legacy's were left.  These types of islands aren't common, but you can check it out on planet Herse, island Alpha and Delta along with numerous other planets.  Change log - 35.20 

Game size viewport can be changed 

Keyboard scrolling made more responsive 

New Genesis islands added (more will be added in time) 

Settings are now saved - Kindle mode, Flag speeds, Volume etc 

Hey there, a question:

This week has been the EGX show at London's Earls Court. Reprisal Universe was shown as part of the Leftfield Collection and it was great to watch players and meet people.

Thank you for all your feedback since it's launch just under two weeks ago.  I've addressed issues of the Kindle tool and also AI balancing in this build. There are now options to turn Kindling 'off' for both 1UP and CPU players. You will also have the option to change the 'Flag' speed effecting how fast populants are made in settlements. These options are located in the options panel on the Island Overview page (The Question mark located bottom left of screen) 

I also wanted to list some keyboard short cuts that may help: 

1 - (When on in the options) switch to Kindle  2 - Switch to terraforming tool and open earth totems  3 - Open Wind totems  4 - Open Fire totems  p - pause  And then here's a cheeky one, if you want to 'grab' the screen to a PNG, press 'c'! (Make sure you save the file with a .png on PC)  Change log - 35.19  Additions 

Mouse edge screen scrolling when in full screen mode 

Options added to have 'no kindle' option available to 1up and cpu players
