Beta 1-5 has released!!


Another game breaking bug was found, and therefore had to be squashed immediately. After Satellite 1 the transitioning event failed to execute properly resulting in the player being locked and unable to progress. This has been fixed, tested and confirmed now working.

Some of the beta testers have gotten beyond my own re-playthrough in my bug hunt, as I am just starting the part after that, so as usual. Make sure to save often and utilize multiple save files so you do not have to start completely over. JUST MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR SAVE FILE, or copy it into your folder in the new game file and you should be good to go.

Additional changes.

Added more things to find on The Mothership in the beginning. 

Added new encounter in the opening forest section, to try to portray better to the player that the local life is very hostile.

Swapped out outer mothership tiles for one that matches the art style better. 

Added 2nd ship to the opening cutscenes to portray the fact that there are two different ships and two different stories (the other being The Ark, which is not played in this game).

As always the never ending task of catching all the its that should be it's and correcting them is still never ending.

I was on a four day weekend from my job due to the holiday in the USA. Updates may be a bit slower now that I must return to work, but as always keep playing and let me know if any bugs are found.

I saw your reddit post and I've been meaning to playtest this game earlier but I haven't had the time. Meanwhile would you be interested in a discord server for beta testing? The only catch is that for anyone to be able to submit their game for beta testing, they must test other people's games first. Let me know if you're interested.

Honestly, that sounds like a blast! Yeah the email for this game is TheOrphansGame23@gmail.com feel free to send an invite link there.

I had just just sent the invite to that email. See you there!
