Orphan Age's biggest update ever is live! After many months of hard work, we are very happy to present this new iteration of Orphan Age. We are aware there are some issues with the game but a hotfix is coming as soon as we can!
So, what's new?
:infamy: Expeditions have been visually upgraded and revamped! It's not 100% finished, but you'll have a better idea of where we want to go. We'll next work on exploration of the buildings and adding more enemies in a near future.
:infamy: Storage remade from scratch! Two new types of storage have been added, the first one being consumables (1 time use resources) :
Raw food / ingredients
Meals : we'll work on cooking in a future update
Soap: used for hygiene
Meds: used to cure illnesses
Bandaids: Used to heal wounds
The second type is construction resources:
Junk: Broken stuff that can be deconstructed into useful resources
Scraps: basic and low quality crafting and construction stuff
Components: main ressources to build higher tier stuff, they can be crafted.
Unique: Uncraftable rare resources
Tools: consumed by crafting stations, can be crafted.
We believe this new system will offer more depth while being clearer.
:infamy: New quests: we have entirely remade our quest tool which allow us to bring more quests and ditch the previous and rather boring research system! The UI has been updated too!
:infamy: New content: we now have 17 furniture to build and 15 more are coming with the next update!
:infamy: Dozens of bugs have been squashed and a lot of polish and optimization has been done too!
Oh! Last but not least, we also have updated the website which will allow you to join he Alpha! http://orphan-age.com/
As usual please share your feedback here and the bugs and issues with the in game tool! We hope you'll love this gigantic update! :withlove:
Have fun!

Orphan Age is a life-sim game where you look after a band of orphans in a cyberpunk warzone.
Set against the backdrop of an unforgiving, neon-lit dystopian warzone, your only battle is the fight for survival, scraping out a living in the face of extreme danger. You will guide a band of orphans, each with their own skills, emotions, strengths, weaknesses and fears, through a dangerous and ever-changing city in a bitter struggle for survival. Constantly balancing risk and reward, you must make the big decisions to ensure the group stays alive. Build up your base, scavenge, craft and explore the city for new recruits, whilst ensuring there are enough supplies to keep going, even when it seems all hope might be lost.
Orphan Age plays as a single player campaign with a lot of replayability inspired by the 4X genre. But there’s a twist! 4X stands for Exploration, Exploitation, Expansion and Extermination. In Orphan Age, we replace Extermination with Empathy, bending the 4X genre into a 4E.
The city of Orphan Age is ever-changing and procedural. You won't find the same building twice. There are high risks and high rewards when you explore. You can find rare resources, Orphans to recruit, but you can also get wounded or worse...
Exploration is similar to the expeditions of Fallout Shelter: procedural text adventures. They offer more complexity though, because you have to make decisive choices while you're out of the orphanage.
Hundreds of resources are left to be scavenged in the Orphanage or in the city. They are classified in 6 categories that allow you to eat, drink, take care of wounds and to craft the items and resources you need to build your Orphanage.
The Orphanage is the place your Orphans call home. The environment surrounding the Orphans greatly affects their moods. Try to keep the rooms lit, warm, furnished and clean for the happiness of all!
There are 38 different items of furniture to build (beds, playgrounds, science mats, campfire, heaters...) and each one can be upgraded.
Research allows you to discover better furniture and improve living conditions for the orphans.
Orphan Age is a deep micro-simulation making each Orphan unique in personality and in gameplay. The Orphans have different ages, set of skills, backgrounds and personality traits. Depending on who they are and how well they are, the Orphans will take different paths anytime there is an issue to be discussed.
