Since November we've been preparing a proper design and balance pass to the economy in the background. This included looking for holes in the progression, analyzing what needs to be expanded, and preparing all the necessary gameplay systems, items, and features to successfully release. This build now contains the many months of work to make this happen.

Some specific gameplay notes on this balancing pass:

Multi Tools
There are now new Multi-Tool variants to allow repairing and salvaging gameplay at earlier progression stages, they work just like the Multi-Tool/Repair Tool currently in the game, just varying degrees slower.

The new Multi-Tools in the game are:

• Survival Tool - Found in the UNE Emergency Kit on the Escape Pod (Spawns with your character on initial world creation), and can be found in loot crates
  
• Crab Screwdriver - Crafted from a shaped piece of Crab Antenna, good in case your Survival Tool is lost
  
• Makeshift Screwdriver - Crafted from a piece of Scrap Metal, a slight upgrade to the Survival Tool and Crab Screwdriver
  
• Wrench - An upgrade to the previous Multi-Tools as a stepping stone until the mechanized Multi-Tool that has been changed to be an end-game progression item

Furnace Changes
The Furnace now requires fuel, a Fuel Input can be seen near the base of the furnace as an interactable box, when various items can be added as fuel that will increase the amount of time the furnace can operate, many items are accepted as fuel, some to varying levels of efficiency, try different items to see what works best. A Fuel Cell Upgrade can be installed on the Furnace that will remove the need for fuel.

Scientific Extracting
Plants and Creatures now drop different items depending on what tool is used to harvest them. When you discover a new plant, try using different tools in your inventory to see if they drop any different items.

Introducing Alloys
Ingots have been removed from the game and replaced by Alloys, instead of collecting ores and combining two or more ores into an ingot used in recipes, now recipes can use a combination of raw metal ores and Alloys that all have varying types and amounts of inputs.

Mineral Hardness
Mineral Hardness is now enforced on tools, only tools of equal or greater hardness can harvest any given mineral. The Mineral's hardness is displayed underneath the mineral name when looking at a node in the world. An item's hardness is displayed as a single number 0~10 (based on the scientific Moh's hardness scale) in the item description panel when selected in your inventory.

Creatures Harvesting
Creatures are also now harvested by attacking various body segments after they have been killed, try different weapons on different segments to discover what they all drop!

Tips

• Some tools drop shared resources among all plant types and creature segments, others may drop unique parts specific to the segment or creature harvested.
  
• New Broken and Scrap items have been added to give better depth to the early game of salvaging and finding then repairing needed progression items.
  
• Broken items can be found by salvaging wreckages or as loot in various crates around the world, they can be repaired at the workbench into their operational counterparts.

Player Improvements
In addition to the economic balancing, we've conducted some cleanup on the Player movement. This includes removing the "idle" state in the 3rd person animation system, which finally solves the weird stutter that occurred sometimes while holding a weapon. A nice side effect is the movement and animation seems to be more responsive and can instantly go into a crouching state from a run state, without having to go into an idle state.

We also fixed up many of the physics movements in the first person weapons or at least performed some much-needed improvements. There's more that needs to be done on the first person tools and weapons to get them to a finished state, something we're focusing on in the short term.

Dungeon Improvements
The new Dungeon system is coming along as well. We eliminated dungeon/mine loading in the last Experimental build, and are now getting this system improved more and more. The latest additions are adding more minerals in the dungeons, creature AI pathing improvements, and AI attack improvements specifically while in mines. Like the tools we created for the planet surfaces, we're creating a rich toolset for the dungeons, allowing us to create high-quality dungeons quickly, using a handcrafted approach.

Big things have small beginnings.

You have been asking for more biomes in our worlds, and we couldn't agree more! We've had to get the game's performance, stability, and memory usage under control to make room for the art, along with a suite of tools to create vast and detailed areas. Both development threads have now been accomplished.

When looking at our world art one aspect we wanted to maintain was keeping our worlds hand-sculpted, as opposed to procedurally generated. The proprietary terrain and placement tools we created allow for articulated and detailed distribution of grass and foliage while allowing all the artistic flexibility required to properly design out specific areas and biomes within a single world location.

The end result when using these tools allowed us to create the biomes for Proteus 2 relatively quickly, and we look forward to applying this technology to the more lush worlds on our roadmap, such as Seraph and Gemini while bringing interesting possibilities to legacy favorites like Aziel and Zer.

In the meantime, we got a little carried away and took a bunch of screenshots! Apologies if this seems a little indulgent, but we couldn't help ourselves. :)

The biggest change we've made in this version is sun setting the way the Skill Tree is used. Previously, the Skill Tree required Proficiency to unlock the ability to build various structures and utilities. While we've been conducting our balance pass internally, we found that this created unnecessary steps towards survival. Essentially, you should be able to build what you need and in what order, having the choice based on what resources the astronaut has available therefore allowing you to chart your own path.

The Skill Tree will be going through changes as we go. The look will be similar, but we will use it instead to advance the player's abilities. More on this later.


On Structures we set up some meaningful prerequisites for various structure types. Our goal is that this will lead to proper build order while having the Utilities and Structures needed to support your base, rather than building something only to find you need a power source, for example.


As the game evolves its stealth style combat, we've added a noise and visibility meter in place of the Pressure meter in the lower left of the HUD. We found that the Pressure meter, while important in real life space travel, did not find much use in this simulation, and replacing it with the noise/visibility reading made the most sense. That stated, pressure is still a big part of the game and can display pressure in other ways that does not require a dedicate meter.

The Stealth indicator will be very useful going forward. Hiding spots are being added allowing you to gauge if you are visible and in hiding. Creatures will respond to this per species, based on each creature's senses. Our hope is this will allow for more strategic options in encounter scenarios.


We added full feature Debug Console allow you to bypass or build anything with various cheat commands. Totally optional and invisible unless used, the Debug Console can be very handy if something gets lost in space or you'd like to reset your play condition by regenerating a new object through these commands.


We listed all the fixes and additions in last week's Experimental Branch, which you can check out here:

We hope you enjoy this new main branch update and look forward to sharing the material we have coming down the pipe. And now, a quote from one of my all time favorite actors:

This week, while still making great progress on our new features we still hope to share with you all soon, we wanted to get some more fixes out for you all in the meantime. To assist with our testing internally, and as a tool for any players in Singleplayer or those who are the owners of a Private Universe, the Dev Console is now accessible in-game with the Slash "/" key.



The Dev Console comes with an auto-fill recommendation system that will display any relevant commands depending on what is entered in the input field, showing all possible commands, displaying their states, and overall helping usability.



These recommendataions will also show all possible inputs for certain fields such as spawnable items, vehicles, droids and creatures.

In addition to possible inputs, where applicable the hint will also display current status of a related variable, for instance the "set" command's hints will display the current vitals of the player.

As always, be sure to check out our official Roadmap: Osiris: New Dawn - Roadmap

With this update we’ll be monitoring your feedback and continue to iron out any issues as they surface. New material listed on the Roadmap is coming along nicely and we look forward to sharing this with you soon.

BTW, I can’t believe it’s the middle of March already! Apparently time flies in the Gliese 581 system. Thanks again for all your support and kind words. We read everything you write and your support means the world to all of us here on the dev team.

Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.
Brian

We added a slew of fresh new options to suit a wide variety of gameplay tastes. Want to tame down survival gameplay and focus on building? We got that. Want a hard-core-hard-science experience? We got that too. These options are available for your Single Player and Private Universe campaigns. Public Servers will be set to Normal for now.




Working from the technology recently added to the Multi Tool, we’ve added a damage meter when mining minerals with the Chisel. The chisel also has an intelligent reticle in both first and third person modes to illustrate what is in range.




We spent the bulk of the week on 3rp person melee. First, we needed to make sure the weapon swing occurred over the center of the screen to coincide with the reticle. This was accomplished with complex math rotations on top of the motion capture animation data. Then, the trigger sphere from each weapon mathematically calculates the precise position of the hit for proper FX and damage dealing. We also added a raycast from the center of the screen at precisely the right time per swing to calculate detection from the camera, then compare the data from the swing sphere and raycast to find the proper result. Finally, a simple animation speed adjustment when a hit occurs creates the feeling of collision. Also, when holding a melee weapon the camera is brought in to showcase the action. When added all together, we find the 3rd person melee feels very satisfying, responsive, and consistent.


Every surface and melee weapon now has hardness. This is scientifically based on Moh’s hardness scale and each mineral now displays the correct hardness value. Your default chisel is made of steel and therefore has a hardness of 7. Hit any material less than 7 and the chisel will not lose durability. Hit an object over 7 and it will lose durability.

Once durability of an item is depleted it no longer is destroyed - this was far too punishing and not good design. Instead, the item enters a fully degraded state, flashes red, and can still be used but will deal less damage. All items can easily be repaired on the Repair Table.




We’ve added proper contextual subtitles to many of the Structures and Utilities in the game, describing states/uses for each.

For example, the 3D Printer requires power to use. If it does not have power the Printer does not light up and the HUD displays it does not have power. Build a nearby Solar Panel and the Printer lights up and is fully interactable. We’ll be adding this functionality to all Utilities and Structures as we go.



First, we tracked down the bug preventing the Depository from stacking. Then we added functionality to make other items stack, and added this to the Space Debris Chest!





Here's a video that showcases some of this week's features:

As always, be sure to check out our official Roadmap: Osiris: New Dawn - Roadmap

We hope you enjoy this week’s build! We have some pretty big stuff coming right around the corner, and also like the gains we’re seeing from polishing details. Therefore we plan on focusing a third of our effort to new material, a third to polish/balancing, and a third to bug fixes/stability. So ~33.3% for each, if my math is correct.

Light speed is too slow,
Brian

We are seeing great results from the in game feedback form. The feedback you are posting goes directly to our live web page where our community manager records each issue into our internal database. This allows us the dev team to organize and prioritize bugs and feedback quickly, allowing us to improve the experience for you. Yet another way we are working on improving our connection from player to developer.

Osiris: New Dawn - User Feedback Report

Speaking of feedback, be sure to either include a screenshot or a comment (having both are great!) as this really helps identify what your feedback refers to. On a side note, we’ve been getting so much feedback we actually crashed the server this week. However, we were able to migrate to a new cloud server with quadruple the horsepower while retaining all the feedback data in a matter of an hour. Just another day at the office!

You may have noticed that resources are finite (meaning they don’t respawn). This is a feature we added to the save game system to solve for exploits in the gameplay, such as exiting to the main menu, coming back, and mining all the minerals again. Going in and out of a menu or a mine to get resources is not good design, obviously, and we have plans for that.

In the coming weeks we will be doing a balance pass in the game, putting minerals and economy through some much needed adjustments. Gameplay options will also be receiving mineral spawning, including finite (which we never had working before), to the custom options so that you can tune the gameplay to your taste.

We’re phasing out the Party feature and instead introduced Allies. To share your base assets, simply just run up to your friend you press F to add as an Ally. Your assets will be available to your allies offline and persist between play sessions. Allies will lead the way to a more full feature set in the works - Colonies.

We added another layer of polish on the creature AI, this time focusing on hit reactions and knock backs. We’ve also added noises and sounds to the creatures, bringing them more to life.

These tools received a much needed reticle pass, showing you what is interactable. In the case of the Multi Tool you will see how much health an item has as you dismantle. The Chisel now has a reticle showing where it will apply damage.

Using our realtime global illumination the night time is now rendered with more bounce light, allowing you to see and traverse at night. It can still be spooky, especially if you hear something behind you (spatial audio fixed! Woohoo!).

Onwards and upwards,
Brian

• Added a feature where you can click on the screenshot to view full size

We hope these changes improve the experience for you, and apologize again for the data glitch.

Over and out,
Brian
