Version 0.5.4
[ 2021-09-06 23:33:04 CET ] [ Original post ]
First official patch, version 0.5.4 is now live!
- Feature: Added "Scan Cargo" option to mainframe computer to mark nearby cargo
- Enhancement: Added learning about the "Scan Cargo" option to tutorial #2
- Enhancement: improved cutscene framework (used for new trailer)

- Enhancement: added steam effect to certain tiles
- Enhancement: if skipping a cutscene speech bubble, the first press of the skip button will instantly show the whole text, the second press will then close the bubble instantly
- Bug: fixed bug where Xeno would get caught on corners when hunting you; rewrote the hunting logic
- Bug: Fixed a bug where a door one tile away and orthogonal to a border caused a leak in the ray casting for the visibility layer
- Bug: fixed game timing bug if game looses focus or gets not enough CPU time
- Bug: fixed a control bug where mixing the D-Pad/keyboard digital controls with the analog stick could lead to strange behavior
- Bug: corrected the starting position of the flamethrower fire
- Bug: fixed shadow ray casting problem with vertical, closed doors

Survive
Everyone is dead. Your only chance is the escape shuttle... but you need fuel and oxygen. And find the codes for the self-destruct... just hope IT does not find you first.
![]()
What is it about?
The basic idea was a 2D survival horror game, loosely base on the old ZX81 game "Alien". You are alone on a spaceship and have to survive long enough to get the lifeboat up and running and escape from the horror. There are some Rogue-like elements, since your objectives and the items you find in a level are randomized.
The initial release contains a three part tutorial to get you familiar with the game concepts and three different levels for the main game. Replay value is achieved by combining the rogue-like elements with several difficulty levels.
Initial Features
![]()
Early access?
Once the basic gameplay works ("Last Survivor" mode), there are several directions I could take the game:
"Fire Team (single player)": Survive with a team of four characters to add tactical depth to the game and allow more complex game play?
"Fire Team (couch co-op)": This would also make couch co-op possible - why control all heroes when you can survive together with some friends?
"Escape from Hallas Prime": Or maybe focus on single player and add a story campaign with NPCs, in-engine cutscenes and more complex gameplay?
This is where your opinion comes in - if you like the gameplay and would like to see the game grow, which direction should I take?
