@Games Inquirer: Thanks for following the project like you do.  I saw your comments on other websites (well I saw on RPS), you really got what is the futur of the game. And as you can see, the power off ability is back! But not in the same way, it affects pressure and temperature resistance. See you !

Do you think you'll stick with the current inventory system, or do you think it has any chance of changing in the future?

[adganong]

I think this looks very neat. I will be keeping my eye on it.

[JobLeonard]

So is there a simulated ecology running? I would love a game where you could actually mess with that (instead of just extracting resources).

[christonian]

keep starving out any suggestions on getting food? other then chest

[Connor]

add a save function and im sold

[TimC]

I just released an Alpha v10.1 to solve the difficulty balance issue. The game was way too hard for new players!

@adganong, @NachtkARTer, @Chis: cool! thanks!
@Connor: I'm now working on the beta version. It will include many features, and the saving function.
@christonian: have you tried fishing? 
@JobLeonard: there will be different spots, and you'll be able to extract really different resources depending on these.
@Gear: I'll stick with it, but I'll improve it a lot!
@SIGVADER: sorry, what?!

If you want to see some gameplay, here is a video:

[JobLeonard]

ecoLOGY, not ecoNOMY . But that is really cool too!

[christonian]

here is my indie showcase great game

[TimC]

I just released FarSky Beta v1.0 !!



This update is mainly focused on the game saves, way bigger maps with a better generation algorithm, the submarine, craftable chests, the radio dialogs, music tracks and the resources extracting system.
You can buy it on my website http://www.farskygame.com
It was a bit long since last update, I had to build a company (called FarSky Interactive  ) which is pretty time consuming..
I'm working on the game as a full time job. When you buy this game you support its development and help me to spend more time and money into it, plus it includes all updates and the final release!
The alpha version is still available for free of course!
Hope you'll enjoy it 

[NachtkARTer]

Nice, I was so waiting for an update :D
So, bought it right now, and will test later, probably just as early as tomorrow...
You shall hear from me
