Welcome to Space



This is the development blog of Jarom Madsen's upcoming game "Spaced Out", a multiplayer extravaganza in which you are stranded in the middle of space with naught save a can of oxygen and your comrades beside you. Space can be a wondrous place... unfortunately it also wants to murder your face. Stave off hunger, thirst, and lack of oxygen as you and your team build a spaceship from ship debris and pirated parts that can battle off aliens of the most formidable kind.

Stay tuned to watch as the game progresses.

Features*:

-A large, procedurally generated universe, keeping it fresh every time you get horribly murdered.

-A wide variety of species to unlock and choose from.

-Build your own ship from garbage! Or kill everyone on board someone else's ship and take it for your own... or I guess buy ship parts if you're super lame!

-Make friends with all kinds of alien folk and build your crew larger to be able to manage a larger ship... just don't let them eat all your food.

-Tons of ways to die!!! Including but not limited to: starvation, dehydration, lack of oxygen (drowning?), poisoning, high velocity impacts, and getting eaten by giant space worms.

-A kill screen. There is an ending

-Local and online co-op up to as many players as you desire/have the devices for.

-Online race mode pitting you against another player/team of players to get to the finish first.

-All range of controller support (xinput, dinput, flight controller, steering wheel, multiple mice, you name it!).

-A custom built android/iOS controller app!

-Mobile support?

-And lot's lot's more!

*any and all features could change during the course of development.

Stay tuned each week as I update you on the progress every Tuesday! See the schedule here!
