It’s been a while, but ICARUS.1 is released and out now! My first attempt at a 3D / first person adventure game.

You can get hold of ICARUS.1 from the following places for PC:
Steam: - store.steampowered.com/app/395470/
Humble Store: - https://www.humblebundle.com/store/icarus-1

Abandoned for decades, crew MIA, the ICARUS.1’s job was to store mined minerals from the systems outlying planets and perform research duties. Orbiting the local sun to maintain it’s solar energy and live up to its namesake, it provided a lucrative business for JME corp.

After contact was lost no rescue attempt was ever made with the stricken station, instead the project was mothballed along with its precious cargo - a cover up some may say.

Many stories about what happened have become lore but Sam isn’t focusing on these ‘stories’, the goal is the cargo and the wealth it will bring.

Next big development - ICARUS.1

Update (35.20) live! - Genesis

http://store.steampowered.com/app/319560

Again thank you for your feedback over the last couple of weeks, happy to say a second update is now available to download on Steam and GOG.

You can change the size of the game view! When in a game, pause then change the View Port size (small, Medium and Large) Slower systems may take a hit on the Large setting but have a try. Also turn off the Tilt-Shift effect if this happens and see how that goes.

Genesis Islands
There is this new play type on certain islands called ‘Genesis islands’. These islands fight to return to their original self while your waging your campaign! Ever minute or so the land quakes and reforms slowly as it trys to return to it’s original Genesis self before any Legacy’s were left.

These types of islands aren’t common, but you can check it out on planet Herse, island Alpha and Delta along with numerous other planets.

Change log - 35.20

Game size viewport can be changed
Keyboard scrolling made more responsive
New Genesis islands added (more will be added in time)
Settings are now saved - Kindle mode, Flag speeds, Volume etc
Genesis scans are performed on spawn points to prevent unbalancing

This week has been the EGX show at London’s Earls Court. Reprisal Universe was shown as part of the Leftfield Collection and it was great to watch players and meet people.

A massive thanks to the EGX guys who put on a great show and also supporting Indie developers. There were some amazing titles on show so it was an honor to be rubbing shoulders with them :D

Update (35.19) live! Kindling, Options, Fonts and more

Thank you for all your feedback since it’s launch just under two weeks ago.

I’ve addressed issues of the Kindle tool and also AI balancing in this build. There are now options to turn Kindling ‘off’ for both 1UP and CPU players. You will also have the option to change the 'Flag’ speed effecting how fast populants are made in settlements. These options are located in the options panel on the Island Overview page (The Question mark located bottom left of screen)

I also wanted to list some keyboard short cuts that may help:

1 - (When on in the options) switch to Kindle
2 - Switch to terraforming tool and open earth totems
3 - Open Wind totems
4 - Open Fire totems
p - pause

And then here’s a cheeky one, if you want to 'grab’ the screen to a PNG, press 'c’! (Make sure you save the file with a .png on PC)

Change log - 35.19

Additions

Mouse edge screen scrolling when in full screen mode
Options added to have 'no kindle’ option available to 1up and cpu players
'Flag speed’ option added for faster games
Above two functions available in options when viewing island overview screen
Display of how many islands left to unlock the universe
Complete Font overhaul :D

Bug Fixes

Overall game percentage displays correct values
Amulet corrections made. A correct amount of amulets now present in Universe!
Players names can now be 2 or more characters
Island 2 now made easier
Kindle AI balancing
Esc key windows game and restores it to fullscreen
Correct display of last settled players in Universe
Wonder punch bug fixed
When paused on 'timed’ islands, counter is paused

I wanted to add some sort of quick visual guide as to were players were in the universe. As you roll on planets your told how many players are on the planet but still felt like it needed something extra. I’ve added in players as these little pixel crafts that orbit their planets in Reprisals Universe [35.07]
