About the game


Setting
The game is set in a Space Western universe - a subgenre of science fiction, that transposes themes of American Western books and film to a backdrop of futuristic space frontiers.
In Exoplanet: FC we have brought together distinctive elements of Wild West, futuristic technologies and feudal society of a distant human colony, placed on a wild and dangerous planet named K'Tarsis.
The planet is going through dark times of crisis and chaos after a massive wave
of gold rush. K'Tarsis is now a "ghost colony" with no law and order except of "the rule of gun and fist".Colonists must struggle to survive in aggressive environment and fight the uprising natives and criminals of all kind.

Style
Exoplanet:First Contact is a balanced Action/RPG mix focused on exploring and interaction with the game's world. There will be no complicated statistic and numbers.
Action is represented by 3rd person shooter with deep gunplay and tactical variability, based on
the so called "Gunslinger Mode" (see the 3d-screnshot in our video!). The "Gunslinger Mode" is an advanced variant of "slow time" game mechanic. It replaces the classic tactical pause but
does not reduce the dynamic of the action that much.

Story
You start your adventures on K'Tharsis as Jack Sharp, a space nomad, who has lost his starship and was enslaved by some criminals. You must recover your freedom and avenge your foes. Explore the dangerous planet and its darkest secrets! Find legendary treasures of mysterious race of so called "Dark Wanderers"! You will become a part of epic events and fascinating stories! Be prepared to take hard choices and be ready to face consequences! It's up to you to be a hero or a villain!

Key features:

  • Interactive environment as a gameplay component. For example you can catch a poisonous bug and throw him as a sticky grenade, causing chaos and fun! There are some riding animals, which you can use to kill enemies or cross obstacles and destroy defensives.
  • Non-linear story and various gameplay options. You can choose your tactics. Lead this world to peace and order or cause war, violence and destruction.
  • Dual wield guns and cold steel! Combine your attacks with interactive environment usage. For example you can grab, throw and shoot an explosive canister over a group of enemies to cause an effective area of effect damage.
  • Fascinating story and charismatic characters
  • Exoplanet FC is a beginning of epic space saga!

2 comments by false3d on May 10th, 2013

Hi there!

Our development log for Exoplanet: First Contact #8 features a lot of visual improvements for some of the old systems and also gives you another glimpse at the powerful crafting system of the game.

We are using a new ingame item to demonstrate the options for basic crafting mechanics and we hope that our community will understand the potential of this solution.

We feel that this a bit more “survival-like” way of creating and combination useful things suits better for our Frontier planet setting than lots of shops, vendors and random loot generation.

For the background music in this episode we took one of the new ambient tracks composed by Simon for even more desolate places than canyons around the Outpost 74.

Right now you can help us greatly in promotion of our game by voting for Alersteam on IndiesCrashE3 site. The top 10 nominees will get a free pass to E3 2013!
