THE HIDEAWAY : CHAPTER 1 - SUMMER DEVLOG

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well !
Welcome to this new devlog about The Hideaway : Chapter 1 update !

What's new about The Hideaway : Chapter 1 ?

• The Hideaway : Chapter 1 will feature a large scale multiplayer mode, one server with a maximum of hundreds of players connected, crashing on a random planet of a realistically-simulated galaxy. Players will have to survive, explore bases, collect loot and mine ressources on the planets, in order to one day be able to craft or exchange a ship and explore the galaxy !
• This multiplayer mode will feature spaceships, enemy bases to destroy all along the galaxy. Explore up to 20 small and large scale planets without any loading screen, simply fly in and out of the atmosphere with your spaceship and join other planets in minutes.
• The whole star system will be simulated using newtonian physics, day and night cycles will be defined by the procedural angle and speed of self-rotation of every planet, planets will follow circular and elliptical orbits around the nearest star.
• Discover many different types of planets : Desertic, Tropical, Icy, Rocky and Alien, featuring more or less dense atmospheres, different sunsets, colors, soils composition, resources to exploit, sometimes some vegetation. Each planet will be more or less secured by agressive groups of spacecrafts depending on the amount of loot and resources available on its surface.
• Every planet will feature some abandoned research bases on their surface, sometimes requiring to find petrol, generators and even codes to access them. In each base you will be able to find some loot, machines, workbenchs, gaz masks and many more !
• Player property in The Hideaway will be enforced by "domes", only the player who placed a dome will be able to go through it and access the items and machinery placed under it. To share or exchange something with another player you will have to drop resources directly from your inventory, out of a dome.
• The server will be perpetually connected, every modification you will make to the environment, every resource you mine, everything you will harvest during your journey is unique and won't be respawned or destroyed. Server resets will happen once every month and every session is unique, if you leave the game, you will restart from nothing but your base won't be destroyed.
• The story mode of The Hideaway will soon be ready !

The first update for The Hideaway : Chapter 1 should be playable in August-September 2023 on Steam. The game's price will increase up to 4.99 USD after the release of the first update of the first chapter.
