[D.I.E.] DRIFT INTO ETERNITY
[D.I.E.] DRIFT INTO ETERNITY
===================== Greetings everybody! We Are Bots Studio is a young game development studio founded during 2015. We are actually working on Hull Breach, a science-fiction game.HullBreach is an immersive First Person Survival Game. Trapped in a wrecked ship, you have to struggle to stay alive: salvage what you need to repair the damaged systems, close the many breaches slowly riping the hull open, and try to withstand your thirst and hunger while keeping your spirits up.Staying alive will be hard and this game won't go easy on you, you better bring all you got! ===================== BACKGROUND You and the rest of the crew were involved in a scientific expedition heading to Viridia, a planet far away from your system. You were supposed to collect some samples and come back, but your ship —The Wanderer IV— crashed in a rift during the landing procedure. Taking off or calling for help are not an option due to the heavy damages sustained. You have to settle there, and survive in the hope that someone will come rescue you. ===================== KEY FEATURES • Over 50 different rooms are already in the ship.• Half of the rooms are randomly generated. Every game a new ship!• Fix breaches and your environment, extinguish fires and search the ship for food and water.• Make sure to fix as many problems as you can during the day, since it will worsen every night.• Make the best out of the 63 items that are already in the game.• Try to not die from a bad wound, a devouring disease or from an alien infection. ===================== WHAT'S NEXT ? Here are the points we will try to develop in the few upcomings weeks : • Diseases system - 04/12/2015 - Will work the exact same way as the wounds system, except that you will mainly contract diseases when eating rotten food. Diseases will lower your stats over time, making you slower, weaker, and may even kill you.• Save and Load system - 11/12/2015 - You will be able to save your game state (which will include inventory, rooms positions, stats, containers states, fires, breaches, acrycine gas...). Well, basicaly the whole game. You will then be able to load your previous game from the main menu.• Health-related items - Between 4/12/2015 and 11/12/2015 - All the items that will help you fix your food and your health condition. Those items will also help you decrease the states of your wounds and your diseases.• Room specific abilities - Undefined - Those are all the specific interactions you could find in a room and all the specific rules that may apply to them. For these latter, we will have to explain them on a case-by-case basis. ===================== All the feedback will be greatly appreciated. Wish you the best ! EDIT : Hull[/url] Breach becomes Drift Into Eternity

RE: [D.I.E.] DRIFT INTO ETERNITY
===================== Hello everyone, We are Bots is proud to present you a new trailer for Hull Breach. This time, we show you a lot more gameplay and a few features that are currently work in progress and we hope it will make you more aware of what can be done in the game. Visually, the rendering for this trailer has been downgraded, so you can see the game is really bright where it should be a lot darker. That's on purpose because it was hard to understand what was happening in the action without brightness.Anyway, we think this trailer will please you and will give you a good reason to vote for us for the 2015 indie of the year awards. So take a look! Check our gameplay trailer : We are working hard to provide you the best original experience we can achieve and we hope it will be enough to get your interest.Try the demo (alpha pre-release), take a look at the screenshots, leave us a comment and if you have any question, we will be glad to answer. =================== Of course you can still help by voting on Greenlight:[url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=563643649[/url] Or Support us on IndieDB : Wish you the best !
RE: [D.I.E.] DRIFT INTO ETERNITY
Got to sit down with this for a few minutes and so far it is looking good.How does a player find breaches or components that are damaged on the ship? The ship tends to almost be a maze if your closing all of the doors and airlocks as you move about if you take into account that intro message about breaches. So how does a player navigate the different floors to specifically find rooms if they all look the same? Does the player eventually get a floor plan?I ask this because you are a member of this ship so you generally should know the layout, having a player wander about the ship no knowing where anything is isn't really accurate.Are there ways to enhance a players suit? To slow the rate of food, water, and morale drops?

Indeed we are releasing the 0.78 in a few hours, and there are maps "You are here" everywhere so you won't be lost anymore. For the "Breach searching", you are still on your own to find them, but that's something we are working on. Don't forget it's still an alpha pre-release, a lot of things must be added over the year to come.Even the rate of time is something that can change, but for the moment we are happy with the 9mn = 1 day. It makes hunger/thirst diminish rapidly, but hey, it's really easy to make a huge stock of them. Morale is more a problem for the player. :preved: Best regard.
RE: [D.I.E.] DRIFT INTO ETERNITY
[/url] Hello everyone,We are happy to share the good news: "Hull Breach" has successfully been greenlighted by the Steam Community in only two weeks. We wish to thank, with our whole heart, all those who have ensured the success of our project. For thooses who dont like to read you can check "What is Hull Breach" in 15 secondes. Enjoy! In Hull Breach, you play a crewmember of a distress spaceship, crashed on an unknown and unfriendly planet. As time passes, your chances of survival grow slimmer and your only objective is to die as late as possible. The only thing that can make you die is when your health equal zero. But there are numerous things that can lower your health, so a lot of ways to die:1) Hunger/Thirst. Space is beautiful, but there are not many flying sandwiches and soda in there, which is... kinda annoying for starving survivors.2) Oxygen. As we all know, trying to breathe CO2 is not a good way to fill your lungs.3) Morale. Maybe there is no one to care about your mood, but neglecting your mental health will only make the situation worse.4) Fire. If you don't maintain your ship in good conditions, it will decay rapidly, and chances of starting a fire will increase. And as you probably know: fire is not good for your body. So take your wrench and prevent everything you can from deterioration.5) Acrycine. Every night, a random number of breaches will spawn, letting the poisonous atmosphere of the planet get into the ship. This poison is known as "Acrycine", and it will slowly but assuredly kill you. Fix thoses breaches, recycle the air, and hold your breath during the process (you can't hold for that long, just try to find a room without any danger and close the doors!)6) Wounds. There are many ways to hurt yourself: repairing machines, breathing acrycine or staying in a fire are some of many ways to damage your organs. A wound will not kill you instantly but it will grant you stackable maluses and make survival a lot harder. Also, if you don't heal it, it might get worse and worse, and at some point finally kill you.7) Diseases. Sometimes, your body will fail you, but not because of a damaged organ. Because it's a very delicate balance to be healthy, you can sometimes wake up with a bad cold, a flu, a headache and so on... Like wounds, it won't kill you instantly but it can worsen over time and leave you shivering on the floor, waiting for death to come as quick as possible. Beware of what you eat & drink. Rotten food can kill you with enough time.
Work in progress beyond this line Temperature. Every room has a thermostat that controls temperature. But it can be broken, and temperature will then rise or lower over time until you fix the room. Of course, a big difference between the room temperature and the normal heat of a human body can lead to substantial damages. Naturally, fire will increase the temperature of a room, and a breach will make it drop rapidly.Pressure. 1013 hPa (hecto-pascal) is the natural atmospheric pressure on Earth. You can survive big difference with this average, but not when it happens fast. And when a breach sucks out all oxygen in a room, it also makes the pressure drop fast enough to kill you from sudden decompression.Gravity. Gravity cannot really kill you directly, but it can cause numerous collateral problems. For example, water needs gravity to flow through waterpipes... so no gravity = no water recycling. It might become a major problem some day. ================== And that's it! But maybe it's enough, don't you think? You want more ways to die, do you? Well, we will think about that when you'll die on day 6 because your fever reached its final stage of severity. Pretty dumb way to die in space, hu!?Here is the complete list of the wounds already integrated (maybe more to come): bleeding, bruise, burn, cut, head, foot, leg, thigh, chest, stomach, shoulder, arm, forearm, hand and finger (thumb/index/middle/ring/pinky).Here is the complete list of the diseases already integrated (maybe more to come): infection, indigestion, headache, flu, fever, bad cold, heart failure and acrycine infection.We will get back to work on improving the main menu as soon as possible. As you can see, the Main Menu is constantly changing: here is a before/after comparative to see the differences between the two versions: Main Menu V3.0 is coming soon !

RE: [D.I.E.] DRIFT INTO ETERNITY
Great stuff so far and the little animation for the air recycler was a nice touch for attention to detail. The team is doing a great job on those models (Confinement Unit, and that Control Desk).I believe last time I played the demo I don't believe I saw that new graphic with the arm status console you have in the previous post, that looks really nice.

Thanks for your support! We work hard to improve the game experience. There are still a lot of work!
RE: [D.I.E.] DRIFT INTO ETERNITY
As you might have noticed, there has been no version 0.84. This is because we had a major bug. We only managed to make a workaround, so if the game needs 2 full minutes to load the very first time, this is normal. This should not occur the next times.We will of course try our best to remove this unwanted behavior as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding. =====================Patch note v0.85:patch[/url] note on steam greenlight GAMEPLAY -Daily Events: every morning, an event will occur that can have multiple effects on yourself or on the ship. More information will be displayed in the morning logs.-Player cannot move anymore when it's the end of the day.-SplashScreen: pressing echap will only skip 1 splash screen, not all of them.-Oxygen display should now occur every second instead of every frame. -First achievement: Survive 1 day (on Steam only). GRAPHIC -Corrected smoke fx on Big Air Recyclers (should not go through walls anymore)-Reflection Probes of non-square rooms have been disabled due to a Unity bug when we rotate the rooms. We will need to wait for Unity to release a fix (they say they are working on it).-Reduced the reflection intensity of Laboratory. -Doors switch material optimization.-Options now displaying a numeric value for "sensitivity", "brightness" and the volume options. -Corrected R09 and R58 static and doors.-Logs window size should now adapt to every screen resolution. FIX -Unity Analytics implemented to know a little more about the configuration of our players. =====================Patch note v0.86:patch[/url] note on steam greenlight GAMEPLAY -New Daily Events : Healing Machinery Failure, Scraper Malfunction, Garbage Disposal Failure, Cleaning Service Breakdown, Water Recycler Malfunction, Air Recycler Malfunction.New total of different daily events is 23.-Alarms will no longer be triggered by acrycine. Only Fire and Breaches will (broken objects also in next update). GRAPHIC -Temperature management room R39 is coming AUDIO -Option Audio : new slider for music. FIX -Resolved major bug of long loading time (light bake quality has suffered a little to resolve that, but it's still beautiful enough and we are working on other ways to improve it)-Option Keybinding debugged and now with a scrollbar-Log has been improved, allowing us to manually set a number of letters per line. See you soon for Hull breacH update 0.87 !

That's 2 weeks late from the last announcement, but you will probably love the added content. See you next week for more infos!
RE: [D.I.E.] DRIFT INTO ETERNITY
=====================Patch note v0.88:[/url] note on steam greenlight GAMEPLAY - New steam Achievements. - New Object Category: Upgrades.(Mod Purifier / Mod Firefighter / Mod Quicken) GRAPHIC - Modified the Acrycine Removal FX to be less visible when there is less acrycine in a room.- BodyScan and MedPod screens added. - Panel Room Stats changed. FIX - Debug Inventory.A note from our Lead Developer: At first this patch was supposed to be a simple hotfix to debug the inventory but I had a lot of trouble with the save/load system that I mistakenly delayed too much. Therefore, the save/load system is currently disabled (for it was way too much unstable) and in the end, very few content have been added. Sorry about that, we're working on this issue and I strongly hope it will be all good next week. See you there! I take this opportunity to introduce you the latest concept art for HullbreacH (thanks to studio Kippik): We still hope the alpha release will be available during the second week of March.See you soon for Update 0.89 !

RE: [D.I.E.] DRIFT INTO ETERNITY
You are definitely capturing the right effect and atmosphere for HullBreach and the graphics that you are putting in place really helps to set that alone and what do I do mentality. Great posts and I hope you can get to pre-order an/or early access on Steam soon because I think a lot of people want to check this out. But I do like the fact that you offer the demo and if the download version is in-line with the alpha you can definitely get some quality feedback while still in alpha, wish more developers would do a thing like that instead of early access personally.

Thanks A LOT for your feedback. We try to do our best to deliver a fair game at a fair price, and for all of our team it means taking risks (working without any kind of pay) so when someone tells us we are doing things the right way, this is a very powerful bonus for our morale stat. At this point, your message might even make the game better just thanks to this morale boost!Tonight or maybe tomorrow, the last demo version will be updated. Then, if we are happy with the bug-hunting, we should have the alpha pre-release ready by the end of next week.After that, we think we need at least 6 months of work to have everything needed for a full experience and for the Big Release 1.0 Thanks again, and maybe see you next week!
