Out of Orbit

just optimize the game

this game definetly isnt getting the recognition it deserves

Legitimately awful in every way Edit for the developer: I don't understand why steam allows developers to respond to reviews when comments are disabled and I'm not turning them on. I refunded this game after 20 minutes, I do not care if you improve it and I don't feel obligated to do any QA or provide any commentary other than it was awful, but since you insist to the point you overruled my preference for communication: I saw the videos and descriptions of what this game is like. I enjoy space games, especially simulations like Ostranauts that give me things to do in space. When I booted up the game I found out pretty quickly that the ship seems to be static and I only get to fly around in a little pod which kinda sucked but okay, I'll go with it. I tried mining some asteroids and gathering resources because the tutorials said it was important. An enemy called sputnik kept harassing and exploding on me, one time killing me inside the larger ship and that was not fun or engaging. I just move away from it while holding the laser on it and get nothing for the combat. This encounter with sputnik seems to be on a repeating timer so it just kept coming back and chasing me while I tried to learn the controls for the pod which I slowly found out are mostly arcade. That's a preference thing since as I mentioned I tend to prefer a more simulation style approach where the idea of "stopping" doesn't exist because there is no universal 0 speed, but I get it, I was wrong about that part of the game and that's probably on my expectations, not the game. I took all my resources back to my main ship and tried to craft something because the pop-ups told me I should build 3 very specific crafting stations to make rods, walls and floors for building onto the ship. The building menu is laid out so that entering it presents you with I think 5 options and 4 of them don't seem to be valuable, you have to click the first one on the left and enter yet another menu with tabs and buildables. Okay, let's build one of those 3 crafting stations, nope requires refined resources, chips wires and other junk I simply do not have and do not know how to acquire. Whelp, back in the pod and I'll fly to a nearby.. station? I dunno what's out there because I picked a direction that seemed to be leading to something on the minimap but after several minutes of flying and killing a pod from some other faction I just gave up. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in this game. I don't like the building menu, I don't like the arcade feeling of the flight and every system I engaged with was not fun. Flying was not fun, building was not fun, combat was not fun and mining was not fun. "Legitimately awful in every way" I stand by it. Please do not contact me further, that is all the free QA you're getting from me.

I must say that i really enjoy playing this game even if not everytime but l really love it. The applause is directed to a Developer and other players which help this game to get better everytime. To Developer are the biggest due to that he is doing all by himself. I must say that i am waiting patiently to look how the game have changed when it is right now and how it would be to play this game after a full release. If it came to bugs - every bug which i came across - i have posted in bug section on a discord server. I really love in this game that you can build your own ship - in a solo gameplay or in editor. Lastly the game has changed - right now in this game you can play as a bounty hunter , a cargo deliver. And community on discord server is pretty solid. If you need help with game or don't know what to do - they (including the Developer himself) will help, rate your ship or rate also opinions or suggestionts what to do to get this game better.

probably one of the most underated hidden gems currently on steam, deadass.

Fun game i guess

THis is a fun little game w/ many moving parts. Just the way I like them! Building to and adding to you ship, collecting more ships and building on those. Oh, and don't forget building bases and adding to those ON PLANETS! Multifaceted asteroid harvesting mechanics. Lots of NPCs and their ships and stations. Lots of items!

There are some fun things to do but the game currently has a lot of issues and the UI is awful. A crate full of items on my ship randomly became an inventory item (cargo container) and all items are gone. When building your ship you have to back out of an action.. but it closes the build menu. It becomes 3-4 steps to do anything.. especially connecting electricity. The laser cursor calculation is wrong so it is annoying to try and aim it. Ultrawide resolution is so tiny (especially the minimap) that it is difficult to play. Changing resolutions messes up the cursor even more. I look forward to future updates.

Played for a while, not a bad game just really buggy.. was ok in the beginning, but after I jumped to a new sector everything went to hell. NPCs get super buggy, constant crashes, autosave doesn't save, factions cant decide if they are hostile or friendly, crew unassigns from rooms randomly, side quests vanish, side quests don't finish when completed.. Like i said, good game, the devs are active, just needs some work..

I LOVE THE SHIPBUILDER MECHANIC, however the game does lack in many ways, but its still fun
