0.0.59-EARC1 The End is Nigh!

major update

Unknown Horizon Playtest · published · build 24846709

This build represents the first release candidate for Early Access!

The game now has an "Ending", albeit a bit basic as it stands, which means the main game loop is complete, and Unknown Horizon is officially a playable game.

That doesn't mean I'm "happy" with it, or that I consider it "complete". There's a lot of things I'd like to add, and the story is nowhere near as long as I want it to be, but it does mean I feel it's ready to put in front of people to see if its worth the extra work required to make it "good".

So this needs a lot of playtesting. There are multiple endings, depending on which faction(s) you choose to support, each requiring a different approach to completion, and all of which require traversing the galaxy to collect the require data or components.

In this build:

  • New item icons

  • New story missions

  • New "underground" puzzles!

  • New "End Game" missions

  • New end game items (some graphics currently missing)

  • Game end story

  • Credits

  • Stopped the low fuel alarm playing constantly when you've run out of fuel completely... man that noise gets annoying while flying through space at 0.5ly/s
