Localization implementation

We started implementing localization and we are excited to see the community translations in-game! above images are from the Swedish and English version of the start screen. The Japanese switch version is going to amazing.

Lunar Soil - Game Jam

We are trying or best to finish Vast Void but we love to explore technical solutions, we played around a little-bit with Lunar Soil and some multiplayer concepts. We got a rudimentary little build working with cross-platform multiplayer between android, iOS, Mac, win and switch.

Two players on different network running around on the purple fields in the Sulfur Crater, Lunar Soil.

Solitude of space
The universe is lonely, open and unforgiving, but that doesn't mean it isn't peaceful. We have tried to create a place for relaxation and beauty.

Procedural World
The world is infinite and different every time you play, with over 300 different objects to discover and explore; like planets, stars and spaceships.

Randomized Loot
There is a large amount of different item types you can find to enhance your ship. These are randomized. Try to get legendary items!



Ship Customization
There are 8 ships in RymdResa. Every ship has in total 8 item slots, whereof 2 are unlockable. You can find different styles, auras, engines and other improvements.

Pilot Level
Level up to become a master pilot! Choose orientation, focus on exploring, scouring, survival or technology.

Upgrades

3 Chapters
RymdResa is an evolving space adventure. Each chapter has unique gameplay and a unique narrative. Chapter 3 is set in a new universe!

Beautiful Art
Poetry, peace and art. Explore and enjoy a big set of visuals, crafted with RymdResa's art style; pixelart mixed with a posterized style combined with a strict color pallet.

Original Soundtrack
Every ship has a custom soundtrack enhancing the world around it. Two musicians: Tom Croke and Pat Jacobs created the soundtrack with their vision of the game.



Voiced Story
A poetic voice log from the pilot describing a great loss, xir thoughts and feelings. Abstract fragments discussing xir past, present and future.

Nonviolent
We didn't want to create yet another space-shooter, with laser-beams and exploding aliens. In RymdResa the game play is peaceful, passive and relaxing.
