All Systems Go

6/17/2015

 
I've been chipping away at Outer Wilds in my spare time for what feels like an eternity (or at least something measurable on a geological time-scale), writing code by the flicker of candlelight* and occasionally updating the site in a vain attempt to reassure our fans that we haven't completely abandoned the project.

Well those days are over, because we're finally working on the game full-time at Mobius!

I am UNREASONABLY EXCITED about this, but I'll try to keep my use of all-caps to a minimum and fill you in on a few of the cool new things we're working on.

More Content on Every Planet
Every planet in the game will have far more to discover in the final release. It's still a work-in-progress, but here's a small addition to one of the islands on Giant's Deep (hmm...something looks familiar). We'll also be reworking a lot of existing locations so that everything ties into the game's central mystery.
New and Improved Marshmallow Roasting
We're still hashing out the controls (recent playtesters exhibited nearly a 100% mallow incineration rate) but the new roasting system feels great once you get the hang of it. As much as I loved using that little thermometer to judge doneness, the whole process feels way more organic without it.

Updated Ship Computer
Since we're adding so many things to find and explore, we're also updating the ship computer to help keep track of everything you've discovered. It won't tell you the answers to any of the game's mysteries, but it will keep a record of that ancient mural you think you might have seen on Brittle Hollow before a meteor hit your ship and you were momentarily distracted by falling into a black hole.
That's all for now, but this is just a taste, a morsel, a mini tea sandwich held together by sword-shaped toothpicks of what we have in store for Outer Wilds. I should probably get back to work, but we'll have plenty more to show in the coming months, so keep your eyes on the skies.

Happy Trails,
Alex

Please, don't remove the thermometer. A lot of people will miss it.
You can make it some kind of hidden collectible item. Or maybe sell it as a part of Outer Wilds Premium Edition. I don't know.

Keep up the amazing work guys, this game is really something special.

So, so excited to see this come progressing steadily, the alpha demo just wasn't enough and I'd find myself checking the site every few weeks to see if there was any update so this is great news.

Best of luck with the game!
