What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Unlike the previous journey, I've dedicated my time on The Seeker to make it as much as a community project as possible. I see games as a toy we can all enjoy, if done properly, and with the community, as it is the ENGINE of all games. Without your most valuable feedback, games wouldn't exist, and neither would The Seeker in its current state.

Game, made by the community. Lets make it even better”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As long as it needs to. While new maps will always come, and the planned full release date is Q1 of 2017, the game is developed by the community, thus if the community is not happy with the product, or simply suggest even more features, the Early Access will stand.

It all goes down on how much you good people want to shape the game, and in which ways.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The main concept base will always stand, a little drone lost in space in a simple quest to find his owner, however as this is a community game, so it could easily differ a good amount from where we will start.

This is why I added all my efforts into the biggest feature currently, custom skins. You can 101% change The Seeker, its model, colors, textures, flashlight cookies, you can even add addition models, particles, anything you want! Implanting Steamworkshop was the most difficult task for me in a long time and I did it in order for everyone to have a "signature" for themselves in the game.

As with skins I plan to add a level editor to the game, however knowing how difficult it would be its going to take a while, if not 3 months.

Current plans for The Seeker:
  • New Upgrades
  • New Enemies
  • New Environments (For instance Ice, where you have to constantly find hot generators in order not to die)
  • New Achievements
  • New Offical skins
  • Even more customization to the player
  • And a lot more!

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Gameplay wise, everything is in order and working.
The game has 4 main upgrades, with 3 currently maps (Vallar, Departure and Mighty), a fully working workshop, in which you can change unlimited amount of skins, made by the community, even make your own skins, and if you know to model, change the skin entirely.

The Randomness works as it should and provides the player a unique gameplay each time, the PAS (Procedural Alarm System) is fully working and can make your game a living nightmare, as it adds new random enemies and turrets, and for the finale the point system is working amazingly well.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The starting price is set low as there are only 3 maps, and as features and the community goes the pricing will go up as well, as the community and feedback warrants it.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Every. Way. Possible. This is a community project and without it this game will fall into the abyss without it. Anything suggested will be taken in account, and the forum will provide a great place to gradually make the game the best experience for the player”

About This Game

About The Seeker

The Seeker is an action/stealth game, where you are in the role of the little drone that was accidentally activated by the debris that hit the EPC-221.
It all began after the Great Galactic war when people had to leave earth, however instead of living peacefully, they destroyed themselves to ashes by their greed for power.
Now you, as The Seeker, woken up, ready to find the cause of all of the GGW

Phase_1 . . .

You're piece of electronic junk, someone's long lost drone left alone on EPC-221. After the era of the "Great Galactic War" in which whole mankind was wiped out. You are now the seeker of collecting evidence of human race and in quest do destory the evil AI and find your owner in the process.

Gameplay:

Through the game you'll encounter various barriers; Other drones, alarm systems, etc. in a random generated level (only the layout stays the same) That will try to slice you in pieces, the more, the better.

You as The Seeker, need to find the exit out of this robot made hell, by collecting points, enjoying the scenery and the music that captures the essence and the beauty of destruction intertwined.
With human and robotic leftovers.

Features:

  • Huge randomness in the level - Each time you load up the level, the enemies, the items, the points, the alarms, the cameras, the turrets, the doors, everything will change exepct the basic layout of the level, this creates unique gameplay for each and everyone of you making you special as you already are. All random.
  • Procedural alarm system - Each time you screw up, and activate the alarm, you are making the level a lot harder, and this is where the PAS comes in. It adds doors, activates more and harder enemies of different type, making escaping and stealing data very hard. As you make more mistakes the more money prize you get at the end, as passing a level with no trigger is rewarding, surviving a level 5 breach is far more as it is far more difficult
  • Complete customization of the player/b] - Fully working customization of the player, and unlimited community skins with the combination of the Steamworkshop. Want to change colors? No problem. Models? Easy. Add new models, particles, effects, ANYTHING? No problem.
  • Complex upgrading system - Here you spend your hard earned points you collected passing a level, by buying upgrades, weapons, charges, decoys, fake walls, hacking abilities making your life through the System easier.
