Oxygen Not Included - space colony sim from Klei

[LESS T_T]

Oxygen Not Included is a space-colony simulation game. Manage your colonists and help them dig, build and maintain a subterranean asteroid base.

You'll need water, warmth, food, and oxygen to keep them alive, and even more than that to keep them happy.

No details yet.

Looks like don't starve meets that fallout 4 mobile game

 

[Makabb]

Don't starve like other most survival games was boring apart from the surive aspect, so if this will have proper gameplay it might be fun.

More like that plus some DF-ish simulation. I guess this because it mentions haematite smelting. Could be good.

Color me interested.

Black and yellow. That's some shitty colors, brah.

In insect speech, they mean: "Stay away if you're stupid".

In insect speech, they mean: "Stay away if you're stupid".

Or "lol, can't believe you fell for that shit," because plenty of non dangerous insects have the same color banding as bees (Batesian mimicry) and what not.

That, too. :D

 

[Havoc]

Fine then. I fixed it. Here you go, I colored you.

[DDZ]

Ugh, can't stand the way Don't Starve or this looks.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Yes it looks totally shit. Every interest I have for the subject is killed by this manchild look. Of course half that video is showing people shitting on the toilet, the other half something that looks like a fitness studio. Guess that is supposed to symbolize modern life, or how the makers experience it. If I ever crave to feel intellectually insulted I will definitely get this game.

 

[Norfleet]

It's a Klei game. Why are you surprised that they've used this artstyle yet again?

 

[Burning Bridges]

I am not surprised, I just say it's shit. Just because they made this shit before does not make it look better.

 

[Ironmonk]

I thought that wheel is not exactly for fitness, but to generate electricity (maybe fitness as a secondary function).

In the video you can see the player connecting other machines to it with a cable.

 

[Elim]

Pretty pumped for this game. Everything in that Twitch stream sold the game to me. Hope it goes soon into early access.

 

[Trymon]

Looks like Craft the World, maybe with a bit more depth with that electricity system and SF setting...

 

[vean]

Looks interesting

 

[Trojan_generic]

Looks like Wiggles (anybody played Wiggles on PC a decade or so ago?).

 

[Havoc]

This one at least looks playable. Wiggles wasn't that good (and was prone to crashing).

 

[orcinator]

Well the heat and fluid mechanics look cool, game has something going for it.

Though it might still run into the usual problems you see in these types of games like nothing to do during the endgame (or midgame).


Somewhat suspicious their refusal to talk about aliens means they haven't fleshed out that part of the game.

 

[Ironmonk]

Very tempting indeed...

There is a new developer alpha gameplay:

Oxygen Not Included: Alpha Now Available
Hey everyone! We’re excited to announce that the Oxygen Not Included Alpha is now available for purchase!

What is Oxygen Not Included?
Oxygen Not Included is a space-colony simulation game. Manage your colonists and help them dig, build and maintain a subterranean asteroid base.

You'll need water, warmth, food, and oxygen to keep them alive, and even more than that to keep them happy.





What is Alpha?
We still have a lot of things planned for Oxygen Not Included, however we now feel that the game is fun and interesting enough that we want you to give it a try, and most importantly, we want your feedback. We're not quite ready for a large scale release yet, because we want to gather feedback from our fans first, so we are offering it to you before we go into early-access

Oxygen Not Included is now available for purchase for $19.99 USD during Alpha. We expect the price to be higher in the future, however we have not set a final price yet.

What can I expect from the Alpha?
There are a lot of things we want to add to Oxygen Not Included. Here are some of the more important things we want to address. Order is subject to change.

Roadmap

• More things that are sensitive to the effects of temperature
• More tools to deal with temperature
• Improved base sustainability
• More ways to create sustainable systems for resources such as water, fertilizer, dirt etc.
• Improved stress gameplay
• More stress responses and behaviours for strung out Duplicants
• More ways to reduce and prevent stress
• New biomes and creatures
• Buried Artifacts
• Mysterious objects hidden in the world that may help or harm you

This list could change entirely once we see people playing the game. We could decide some of these things are no longer needed or that new things are more important, so please be aware that the list above is not set in stone.

The game will receive periodic updates introducing more content. We do not have an expected content schedule at this time, but we expect the frequency to be about once every 4-6 weeks. Due to the systematic nature of the game, it is important that updates are substantial and reasonably balanced before entering the game.

I love Klei's Don't Starve and after the huge letdown that was Spacebase DF-9, here's their take on it.


Edit:

Spoiler

(Fuck yeah)

Sooo... any reason why alpha is available under different url than the actual game? (ALPHA, GAME). Do you have to buy the final release separately? Other than that, I love the idea and the execution, will probably get it soon.
