What is this?

As apart of an ongoing effort to improve the localization of Outpost 13, as well as provide easier information access and collaboration to forthcoming localization volunteers, I've created the "Community Localization Initiative" section on the forums. Only game owners can see or post in these forums.

How will this work?

Each one of the languages below will have their own thread in the forums featuring a dialogue script in English. As they are completed and approved, I will update the discussions as "completed."

Where?

(Here) As a reminder, only owners of the game will be able to see and/or make a post in this sub-forum.

Do I get anything if I help?

Those who contribute and are approved, even if it's just a single line, up until the localization for that language is marked as complete will receive a localization credit in the game's credits.*

Thank You!

I want to thank everyone in advance, for even considering helping with the localization effort! I'll also be taking font recommendations, if you have any license free fonts that you recommend! Thank you everyone for your ongoing patience, support and interest in Outpost 13. :) ~Max * I and or Cantina Games and Entertainment have the right to decline the addition of any credit deemed inappropriate. Don't worry, you're probably ok. :)

Act 2 for Outpost 13 will be released as a free update in late 2016!

Outpost 13 Details:

Outpost 13 is an homage to some of my favorite 70's, 80's and 90's science fiction and horror films/media such as Alien, X-Files, Evil Dead and The Thing (to name a few).* It is a point-and-click action-adventure game that takes place at an outpost on the planet Achelous IV. You, the player, plays as a dog named "Fen" who comes into contact with an alien biological agent that bonds the dog/player with an alien life form who calls himself "Tantalus." The player's objective is to leave Achelous and make it to the nearest spaceport by inducing enough fear into the stationed crew members that they abandon their 5 year long mission on Achelous and leave early. At least that's the plan, there may be higher powers at play.

You're the Monster: Player's will take on the role of an alien monster strategically killing off crew members while maintaining their cover as "Fen" the crew's pet dog.

Stealth, Strategy, and a Fiery Death: Player's will need to form a strategy to separate and alienate crew members by creating distractions, utilizing the ventilation system, and temporarily knocking out the outpost's power. If player's are unable to maintain their cover and stealth, or is discovered as the monster, the crew will respond with flamethrower's and you will be destroyed by fire.

Alien Planet Setting: Outpost 13 takes place on Achelous IV, a life viable planet several times larger than earth. Winters and summers last several years each, and it is currently 13 earth months into winter on Achelous.

The character progression system has been scrapped for the current Act 1 build, however it may return at a later date. If Act 1 goes well and everything works out, I'll potentially be making an announcement about a new game mode that will likely feature it. :)
