Out There: Oceans of Time is OUT NOW!

It's finally here! Out There: Oceans of Time has launched and you can commence your journey in T-Minus 3...2...1

[previewyoutube=uaUuNgyKNy0;full][/previewyoutube]

We thank everyone for their patience and support on getting Out There: Oceans of Time, out there! This has been a long journey but we couldn't have done it without you and we are excited to see you get involved in our communities on Twitter, Discord and Steam!

If the standard edition isn't enough, allow us to present the CELESTIAL EDITION - which comes with two exclusive skins (the Celestial Suit for Commander Nyx, and the Celestial Livery for your Vanguard ship), an exclusive Wallpaper Pack, AND the original soundtrack by Siddhartha Barnhoorn award-winning composer (also available on iTunes, Bandcamp and Spotify)

[h3]UPDATE [/h3]

We are aware the title screen currently says "beta" but the current version is not beta but the full game. It is something we will remove in our next patch. Thank you for your patience!

[h3]About Out There: Oceans of Time[/h3]

As the successor to the award-winning Out There, Oceans of Time blends roguelike, resource management and interactive fiction for a space survival epic where death is one wrong decision away. As Commander Nyx, youll explore a vast galaxy that is different every time you play, as you search for the Archon; a cosmic villain set on dominating the civilisations of the galaxy.

Out There: Oceans Of Time might be the next great space RPG.
Gfinity

Overall, the visuals took an overhaul, almost on par with an AAA game.
Turn-based Lovers

I think its a real gem thats worth keeping an eye on. Mi-Clos is clearly passionate about the sci-fi genre, and it shows in Oceans Of Times gorgeous universe.

Nigeria DLC and update 1.10 out now



Dear agents, the Nigeria - Additional Nation DLC and the update 1.10. are both available on Steam and GOG.
The game, the DLC and the soundtrack are 33% off for a limited time. Time to get sneaky!

[h2]Update 1.10[/h2]
This update addresses the most worrying balancing issue: STRENGTH vs INTELLIGENCE agents.
To solve this issue, weve decided to tweak the exfiltrations to make it more easier for STR-based agents and harder for INT-based agents.
That way, we hope STR-based agents will get picked up more often and will encourage action-packed playstyle into the meta.

[h3]**Full patchnote**[/h3]
Changes


  • Exfiltration: tweaked math behind combat during exfiltration
  • Exfiltration: fleeing always costs health
  • Exfiltration: Mission with minimum alert level are slightly longer
  • Searching for a weapon is always a success (but weapon found still varies)
  • Only agents with smuggler/firearms expert trait start with an assault rifle, others start with a pistol
  • A flag is displayed on agents hacking a country
  • Notifications are no longer deleted after an exfiltration
  • Organisation leaders are now exfiltrated to the country that ordered their capture
  • Story mode achievements trigger when actually reaching the story ending
  • Various UI improvements
  • In-game recruitment dialogs play fast if fast dialogs option is enabled


Bug fixes

  • Fixed: wrong portrait was shown when exfiltrating an organisation leader
  • Fixed: some Russian localization
  • Fixed: sometimes an agent couldn't be dragged to a country
  • Fixed: countries displaying more than 100% progress on the sigma project
  • Fixed: Leak and Anticapitalist Army are now unlocked if a technology is open-sourced
  • Fixed: agents could get trait they already have or lose trait they don't have
  • Fixed: lobbies with all technologies discovered could still be angry at the player
  • Fixed: reloading the game was preventing agents to retreat from a country
  • Fixed: game could freeze when an agent was resigning while in a trip
  • Fixed: spy required contact and agent said contact is established in the same turn
  • Fixed: some events wrongly led to an agent resigning
  • Fixed: resigned agents were shown in the dashboard as available agents




[h2]Nigeria - Additional Nation (DLC)[/h2]
This paid DLC comes up packed with the first new playable country: Nigeria including:

  • 4 Nigerian agents (Pure, Witch, Warrior, Dealer)
  • 2 Nigerian scientists
  • 1 Nigerian diplomat
  • Exfiltration in the city of Abuja, Nigeria
  • Nigeria special bonus: immune to Armed Groups

Announcing Nigeria DLC and update 1.10



Dear agents, we are pleased to announce the Nigeria - Additional Nation DLC and the update 1.10. Both will be released simultaneously on February 19th on Steam and later on GOG.

Free update 1.10
This update will address the most worrying balancing issue: STRENGTH vs INTELLIGENCE agents.
To solve this issue, weve decided to tweak the exfiltrations to make it more easier for STR-based agents and harder for INT-based agents.
That way, we hope STR-based agents will get picked up more often and will encourage action-packed playstyle into the meta.
There are far more improvements and fixes coming up but we keep that for the full patch note next week.

Nigeria - Additional Nation (DLC)
This paid DLC will come up packed with the first new playable country: Nigeria including:


  • 4 Nigerian agents (Pure, Witch, Warrior, Dealer)
  • 2 Nigerian scientists
  • 1 Nigerian diplomat
  • Exfiltration in the city of Abuja, Nigeria
  • Nigeria special bonus: immune to Armed Groups


We really wanted to make this as part of the free update. But making new content is rather costly. And we dont think well be able to keep the project sustainable in the long run if we release everything for free. DLCs will be cheap (this one is $2.99) and non-mandatory to play future updates. Thank you for your understanding.

Sigma Theory 1.0 now available


Sigma Theory is finally out of Early Access!
The 1.0 update is available to download from Steam now!
The current game has nothing in common with the one we've released 7 months ago. We've worked hard fixing bugs, improving feedbacks, adding content, fine-tuning mechanics and balancing gameplay with your feedback and support to come up with the best version of the game you get today!

Making a game like this with so much novelty is not an easy task and we're grateful you've sticked up with us during the past months.
Some of you hated the game, some of you loved the game. But we've listened to everyone because, at the end of the day, we're making games for the players, not for ourselves.
The experience of developing the game with you along was enlightening for the whole team and it is something we'll do again for our next game *cough* Out There: Oceans of Time *cough*.

So, again, on behalf of the team: THANK YOU.

Development is not stopping as we're already working on the new playable country that will be available in the next update.

Announcing Out There: Oceans of Time



We're proud to announce the sequel of our award-winning, half-million selling space exploration game Out There: Edition.

OT: Oceans of Time is more than a sequel though. While it keeps the core mechanics of the original game (roguelike, resource management and interactive fiction), it delivers them in a much more ambitious manner and will offer completely new features.

As you can see in the teaser trailer, the game is going full 3D with a hand-painted art style. It is the studio's most ambitious project yet and we're pretty excited! Thanks to our publisher Modern Wolf for supporting us in this crazy adventure.

Out There: Oceans of Time is planned to release on PC, mobile and consoles.

Join our Discord to follow the development and discuss with the developers!
You can already wishlist Out There: Oceans of Time on Steam.

We're also happy to announce that Out There: Edition will get 'The Alliance' content update later this year.

Sigma Theory Early Access update 0.18



Dear agents, here comes update 0.18 - packed with pretty cool stuff! Spouse mechanic rework, new hacking UI, Steam Workshop integration and a couple new characters.
And, as always, gameplay balancing and bug fixes.

Steam Workshop


Agent creation
You can now create the agents of your dreams! With the simple in-game tools, you can create and share original characters in minutes. Everything is customizable: traits, origin, portrait...

Custom localization
If you feel like localizing the game in your own language, it is now possible via the in-game tools or a simple CSV file for easy team work. Feel free to share your localization to the Steam community via the workshop!

Well improve the UI and add new features progressively.

Spouse mechanics rework
The spouse mechanics was one of the weakest feature at launch and it was one of the most requested change from the community. Weve worked hard since then to make this feature more relevant and challenging. We cant wait to have your feedback on this.

New characters
New agent : Domingo


As an e-sport champion with numerous international awards, PAB12 is an enigma: no one knows his real identity. He is young, talented, and already famous. His anonymity is partly explained by his secret activities: addicted to the intensity of e-sport, he began to participate in clandestine competitions as well as illegal poker tournaments. As a result, while in mafia circles, he discovered the trafficking of humans, animals, weapons and drugs, activities that he decided to fight personally, less out of a spirit of justice than out of a search for the excitement of putting his life on the line. An excellent knife fighter, it was mainly through hacking and cunning that he succeeded in placing the police on the path of the traffickers, as in a strategy game. With his modern and complete vision of the world, PAB12 is an agent with undeniable potential.

New character : Combat Drone Operator


This guy will say hi next time youll order a strike.


New hacking UI

Weve created a completely new hacking user interface. As always, feel free to share your feedback in the forum or on the Discord server.

Sigma Theory Early Access Update 0.17



Dear agents, please welcome update 0.17! This update brings a new game mode and makes the end game more challenging with the end game balancing. The UI got some polish here and there for your convenience. And, of course, more bugs have been fixed.



Custom Mode
When starting a new game, you can now choose between Classic or Custom mode. Custom mode lets you tweak game mechanics to fit your needs. Weve created some presets you can start off with : Easy, Normal and Hard. Leaderboards, achievements and agent unlock are disabled when playing a custom game.
If you have some suggestions about options that could be added, please let us know!



End game balancing
To make the end game more challenging, the AIs will now be able to develop the Sigma project as well. So youll have to be more aggressive and disrupt your opponents research if you want to win the technological race. Good luck with that!

Whats up next
Modding tools (via Steam Workshop) are taking life slowly and we hope to have a first iteration for you in the next update. We are firstly aiming at localization tools and character creation (agents and diplomats).
Spouse mechanics rework and new scoring system are also on the way.

Dear agents, heres update 0.16.4, where weve fixed most of the request from the community plus wide range of more subtle bugs. Were very happy to see the list of showstoppers decreasing dramatically, which means well be able to focus more on new content and features in the next updates.

New content
Speaking of new content, we have added a new and mysterious agent that will appear in-game if specific events are triggered. One thing we can tell is that this agent will never let you down and it might become your best friend.



Quality of life
We've fixed the last (hopefully) UI related glitches and freezes. The game should be hassle free from now on! Also, language settings won't set back to default anymore.

What's up next?
Weve made good progress on the first Story Mode. So heres a bit more info about it!
Each Story Mode will have a unique storyline with missions and dialogues involving new and unique characters with multiple endings. Each ending will unlock a specific character from the Story Mode for recruitment.
Needless to say we cant wait to share the first Story Mode with you! But you'll have to wait a few more weeks before experiencing it!


Full Patchnote
---Version 0.16.4---

Gameplay Changes


  • It is now impossible to set a meeting with a diplomat everyday

Sigma Theory Early Access update 0.16.3



Dear agents, heres update 0.16.3, featuring balancing, bug fixing and community requested changes (and a bit of eye candy too).

Gameplay/Balancing
In this update, we continued our effort to balance the Diplomacy, and make it less easier to acquire scientists. Our goal is to progrssively move the meta toward the exfiltration as the main solution to get scientists as it was originally intended. This will ramp up the overall difficulty of the game and make Strength based agents more useful. We will listen to your feedback and continue to tweak the diplomacy mechanics in future updates if needed.

Graphics
Each country now has a unique color flavors during exfiltrations to add variety.
Weve also added new and shiny Soviet buildings that youll discover during your missions in Russia.

Quality of life
As widely requested, there is now an option to skip the dialogue animations entirely.
For exotic resolutions, you can now resize the game window to fit your screen accordingly.

Sigma Theory Beta Update 0.12 patch note


New features
Counterespionage
The first iteration of counterespionage was too passive and required to anchor one (or more) of your agents in your country. Weve added new mechanics so you can be more proactive to prevent spy activities on your soil while using all your agents abroad.
Your counterespionage service will send a notification everytime a suspicious agent lands in your country. From there, youll have a limited time to send an agent back home to counter the enemy before they leave your country with a scientist.
Theres even the possibility to capture a spy for interrogation, see below.

Interrogation
When a spy is captured, they will be at your disposal for interrogation. This is a new feature that works a little bit like the diplomatic meeting. Its quite different though, as the prisoner has a Will level and Health level. Your goal is lowering their Will level while keeping their Health level high to prevent death. Use interrogation and torture options to get intel.
Once you have everything you need, you can trade the prisoner during Diplomatic Meetings.



New contents
New agents


  • Diplomat (China)
  • Zenith (Turkey)
  • Rider (Japan)
  • Enigma (United Kingdom)
  • Catch (South Korea)
  • Scar (Turkey)




Organization quest system
Each organization in the game has now its own quest line youll have to complete to improve your standing with them and receive advantages.
This brings more backstory to the different factions while giving you clear objectives and useful rewards. But remember that dealing with certain organizations will have its fair share of diplomatic backfire.



Changes

  • Dashboard improvements
  • Balancing of Loyal, Chaste and Incorruptible scientist traits
  • Scientists now lose Prisoner trait if brought back in their initial country
  • Infiltration between France, UK and Germany now takes only one day
  • New Technology tooltip in the tech tree with useful informations
  • New travel UI




Various bug fixes

  • Fixed bug where conflicts could have a negative number of victims
  • Agent quick menus and drone tooltips no longer open when dragging the map
  • During exfiltration, events where agent can get treatment now only show up when agent is hurt
  • Fixed bug where a critical failure in hack could lead to a wrong notification text
  • More bug fixes...

2 new agents revealed!



Dear agents,
With Robber and Ansturm, Germany proves again it can provides world-class operators.

ROBBER
BASIC INFO
Code Name : ROBBER
Real Name : Thea Lamm
Origin : Germany

BIOGRAPHY
Thea is not motivated by money, boredom drives her to rob banks, just because she can. Whether infiltrating a bank in broad daylight to hack accounts, or in the middle of the night to steal gold bars, her crimes are rarely accompanied by injuries or violence.
She turned herself in to the police two months ago and is currently in a high-security prison in Hamburg while she awaits her sentence. But we know that she deliberately got imprisoned just to give herself the challenge of escaping.

TRAITS
Hacker
Especially well-suited for hacking operations.

Ghost
Particularly elusive, this agent will almost never be detected by counter-espionage.

ANSTURM
BASIC INFO
Code Name : ROBBER
Real Name : Erick Wildenbruch
Origin : Germany

BIOGRAPHY
Our investigations show that Erich's idyllic childhood in Munich is a faade that, for various reasons, he wishes to hide. When he was 18, he joined the German army serving in Europe where he displayed the qualities of an elite commando.
His excellent leadership qualities saw him become a colonel, though he soon came to regret leaving field operations behind. Now is the time for to recruit him as a high-level field operative.

TRAITS
Firearms Expert
In armed confrontations, this agent is particularly deadly.

Driving Master
More proficient behind the wheel of a vehicle during exfiltrations.

Honest
This agent is highly scrupulous and less than effective at bribery.

Loyal
This agent will never resign, no matter far they are pushed.

Meet TIGER : War veteran



Regularly, we'll reveal here critical informations about the special agents you'll be able to recruit in Sigma Theory. Today we'll talk about TIGER!

BASIC INFO
Code Name : TIGER
Real Name : Graeme Grey
Origin : UK

BIOGRAPHY
An Englishman from a noble lineage, Grey (probably a pseudonym) is a former scout. He was commissioned a lieutenant in the British Army, selected for the SAS and after two tours left to spend five years in the French Foreign Legion.

A skilled soldier, he specializes in survival in extreme environments -- a topic in which he is a sought-after instructor and the author of numerous reference works. His favorite anecdote: after a covert operation gone wrong in Nigeria, he turned up weeks later in the north of Libya after passing through the hottest black sand desert on Earth, alone and on foot. To survive, he had to eat his dog and dig tunnels 4 meters deep to find water.

His collection of war stories have come at a cost, however; Tiger is a man who feels his advanced age and lately has begun to fear that his best days are behind him.

TRAITS
Knife Fighter
Especially proficient with blades.

Survivor
Toughened by training or previous traumas, this agent is very difficult to break under interrogation.

Eel
If an extraction operation needs to be aborted, this agent's sixth sense for pursuers makes them especially elusive.

Discuss TIGER in the forum

After studying politics, Katie underwent difficult training in the British special forces, but didn't join the army despite her excellent scores. The reason: her psychological profil revealed strong psychopatic tendencies.

Meet SAINT : Martial Art Specialist from India



Regularly, we'll reveal here critical informations about the special agents you'll be able to recruit in Sigma Theory. Let's start with Saint!

BASIC INFO
Code Name : SAINT
Real Name : Ekkirala Appalacharyulu
Origin : India

BIOGRAPHY
Ekkirala is a revered Brahmin, still energetic at 90 years of age. Despite his venerable appearance, his meditative practices and his spiritual disciplines grant him the verve of an athletic 40-year-old who is also an expert in martial arts.

He pairs his Vedic doctrine with a personal a philosophy he calls "New India"; his strong principles and bias towards action make him a frequent commentator on and participant in Indian politics. Ekkirala would be the first to laugh at the idea, but he is in many ways the perfect spy: who would look at this high-profile, opinionated old man and suspect him of being a spy?

TRAITS
Elite
Elite agents are so expensive to hire that your superiors will only approve having one on your team.

Black Belt
This agent is highly effective in unarmed combat.

Master of Disguise
Can travel freely, even into countries where this agent is wanted.
