[Polly]

I assume this has nothing to do with Hull Breach project ( hull-breach.com ) by JellyHound?



Or the board-game ( hullbreachgame.com ) by Not-So-Broken Games?



Just curious

[We Are Bots]

Hi Polly,

Actually we have absolutely no idea who may well be JellyHound.

About Not-So-Broken-Game and the Hull Breach board game, we are talking with them and that he might release something really nice!
I hope i'll satisfied your curiosity!

I take this opportunity to present you our last Concept Art for HullBreacH:


(made by kippik studio)

Best regards.

FIX

- Debug Inventory.


A note from our Lead Developer: At first this patch was supposed to be a simple hotfix to debug the inventory but I had a lot of trouble with the save/load system that I mistakenly delayed too much. Therefore, the save/load system is currently disabled (for it was way too much unstable) and in the end, very few content have been added. Sorry about that, we're working on this issue and I strongly hope it will be all good next week. See you there!

We still hope the alpha release will be available during the second week of March.
See you soon for Update 0.89 !

Your game is really looking better and better! Keep up the good work, guys!

Thanks for your interest & support ! We are working hard to improve the game
________________

"Hull BreacH" becomes "Drift Into Eternity".

It was unanimously (minus one vote) that the team of We Are Bots Studio chose to rename our beloved game into «Drift Into Eternity».

This new name will not only avoid any confusion with Hull Breach — the card game by our friends at NSBG (Not-So-Broken Game), with which, by the way, we still hope to collaborate in the near future to raise high the flag of awesome science-fiction games!

But it's also a title that fits pretty well with our intentions with this science-fiction game: designing a game in which you have to struggle for your survival, locked up in a distressed spaceship, drifting for eternity into the cold vastness of space.

And finally, we've all fallen in love with the acronym of our new title «Drift Into Eternity» wich is D.I.E. Could we dream for more suitable acronym for a survival game?

Anyway, we hope you will like this new title as much as we do, as well as its acronym,  don't hesitate giving us your opinions on them both and giving us your feedback on the game.
And never forget... In D.I.E.... Death is not the end!

Thank you to all future survivors for your unconditional support.

Best regards,
WE ARE BOTS STUDIO

This looks very nice ! The amount of details in the log is a little overwhelming, but I will definitely check out the game.

Hey thanks for your kind words. I know that I have to found a new way of presenting our patches & updates. I have not had the time to look into it for now. Maybe by making more thematic interventions than a detailed list of the latest modification.

Patch note 0.96: Leaderboard System

Additions :

- Leaderboard system*: At the end of each game you can save your score. The longer you will survive, the better your ranking will be. Every day, every hour, every minute is important to win a place in the top.


You can find the leaderboard panel in the starting booth and in the communications room.


There is 3 buttons under each leaderboards that can filter the scores as you wish (friends only / Timespan / Character). The last 2 buttons will be functional soon.


- Stingers : when entering a room for the first time, a little music will be played. Only special rooms wil have this effect. 4 of them are already done, and we will continue to add them all with time.

Patch note 0.97: Scientific Research

Added new gameplay feature: It is now possible to carry out scientific researches to try and improve your survival experience throughout your long journey into space. Each room has its own specific and unique improvements you can initiate from its Research Panel by simply clicking the Launch button. Up to 186 different researches are available for now, and more to come!

While running, a Research will consume both Energy (provided by the Generators seated in R29) and Computation Process (provided by every Console of the ship). For every broken Generator, the overall Energy of the ship will decrease. Would the overall Energy be insufficient to continue the ongoing researches, the lacking energy would be derived from the accumulators. Finally, if the energy provided by the accumulators failed to offset the Researches' need, then a random research would be canceled to meet the new energy requirements.

You can find Research Panels in rooms R06, R09, R28, R29, R30, R31, R39 and R42 ; each of these rooms houses critical systems vital for the survival of the player, be it Oxygen Regeneration, Water Recycling, Pressure Control, Temperature Control... Researches can improve the efficiency of these systems to maximize your chances & resources...

Every room has their own Research Tree, balanced between a mix of both short and long-term bonuses. For example, in R31 – Water Recycling, one research improves the Water Recycler efficiency (long term bonus) while another research produces Bio-Resin inside the Water Tanks (an useful material, even in the short term).

Some researches are also combo-friendly and should be done as quick as possible. For example, the « Inspired Engineer » series of researches (in R06 – Repair Room) gives the player a morale bonus whenever a research is finished. A pretty useful research one would want to develop early on.

If you feel you may have an Energy shortage in the coming hours, you can pause a research by clicking the Launch/Pause button. That's very handy to prevent any research from being canceled and every item it required to be lost in the process.

Some researches are needed to unlock Craft Panels. For example, researching « Hand Craft Degree » in R06 will unlock the R06 Craft Panel. Craft Panels allow you to craft unique and very powerful items, like the fireproof outfit. Have a look at it, you won't regret it.

The hologram system we use for the Research Panels uses easily identifiable icons to differentiate the various scientific research at first glance. It was deemed important to understand the value of a research without having to read its full description.

UP ARROW = Increase


DOWN ARROW = Decrease


PLUS = Adds a Positive Effect


MINUS = Removes a Negative Effect

It is quite barely impossible to develop all the researches, even if you are very good player… Choose your priorities wisely and pray that you will not fall into blackout too quickly. We hope the Scientific Research System will please you, See you on the next update with the introduction to the Craft System.

Keep on surviving!
