What to expect during Early AccessHello !
We're releasing Helium Rain in Early Access to garner feedback from the community, and decide which features are the ones most needed. Here is our plan :
- Add joystick, gamepad navigation to the menus. Using only the mouse for navigation in menus is annoying for joystick users. Bug tracker entry
- Make orbital engines affect the travel speed. Some orbital engines would offer a higher travel speed between sectors. The spaceflight gameplay would be unchanged. Bug tracker entry
- Introduce fuel consumption. Using orbital engines would draw fuel from your spacecraft's tanks, needing periodic refueling. Bug tracker entry
- Add modding suppport to the game. While we're not sure whether this will be available or when, this is something we are investigating right now. Bug tracker milestone
- Main story quest. While Helium Rain is a sandbox game at its heart, we are adding story elements to it.
Please tell us if one feature is more important to you ! Don't hesitate to suggest other ideas in Discussions if you believe they would make the game better. This is what Early Access is for.
Thank you and have fun !
[ 2017-08-15 10:28:34 CET ] [ Original post ] Helium Rain is a single-player space simulation that places you at the helm of a spacefaring company. Exploration, trading, station-building, piracy are all options. You will need to master both real-time action and long-term strategy: destroying a freighter has a direct impact on the economy, while declaring war will make your spaceflight environment slightly more hostile...

- 12 playable ships with weapon and engine upgrades
Play fighters, bombers, cargos, corvettes or capital ships.
- Realistic economy model
Take advantage of an accurate simulation of space trade to be the most competitive company. If diplomacy fails, blockades are in order.
- Fast-paced combat with a Newtonian flight model
There is no speed limit in Helium Rain. You can fly at half a mile a second while aiming backwards !
- Localized damage model for spacecrafts
Aim for critical systems in order to disable ships, kill their crew or capture targets.
- Procedural contracts, world exploration, technology upgrades
Pick contracts and build your empire.
