GDC 2022 - Asteroids Outpost Screenshots and New Info - Headed for Early Access "Soon"

At GDC a individual demonstration for the press was held for the upcoming (soon to exist on early access) title Asteroids Outpost. Where they showed off some Pre-Blastoff gameplay, mining some Asteroids. Asteroids Outpost is set to be an open world sandbox survival game. As a deep space miner, y'all must stake, protect, and aggrandize your claim, to mine valuable resources. Craft, customize, and upgrade your equipment. Ally with friends and defend confronting claim jumpers as you go From Rocks to Riches.

Asteroids Outpost - Early Access Coming "Before long"

At the event they showed some gameplay, you started out past looking at a map to decide where to put down your first Outpost buildings, a master building and a large turret. Placement would announced to be important since you lot have an actual oxygen tank and the merely place you can refill or non have to worry virtually your oxygen is within a building. So if yous were to place Outpost buildings to far autonomously, then you might run into some issues running to and from them.

The demo and then featured actual resource collection. Every 30 seconds (my guess is that it was 30 seconds explicitly for the demo) asteroid showers would bombard your chemical compound, and if y'all were to become defenseless out in the open up during this fourth dimension, well let's just say your health might take a turn for the worse. This is where the previously mentioned turret comes into play. Y'all would shoot the incoming asteroids and they would in plow accident up and the debris that lands on the surface is what you and then mine. You then use the resource every bit in near "survival" games, to craft new tools, equipment, buildings and upgrades of all sorts.

Over at the Steam Page they take posted an update as well every bit a couple of in-game screenshots, which in fact are the first images of the game running in-engine.

And below is the update they posted:

Afterward many months of development, Salty Games and Atari got the opportunity to nowadays a first look at our pre-alpha build of Asteroids Outpost to the printing at GDC this by calendar week – nosotros're posting some of the feedback now, and you lot'll exist happy to see it's really positive! We're also showing a few lucking gamers a sneak peak at PAX this weekend. While the game is all the same deep in evolution with months of improvements and adjustments to be made, nosotros feel that Asteroids Outpost is on rails to give the Atari and Steam communities a game they will be truly excited to be a part of.

Here at Salty nosotros are big believers in working closely with the community to keep you all informed on what nosotros are working on and planning, and likewise to go your feedback on what is working and what is not. Great games come from iteration and nosotros feel that Steam Early Admission is the all-time organization out for getting the kind of feedback loop needed to make a truly great game! Trust me: the game is not done however! That said, information technology is already a TON of fun, and nosotros hope you all see the same potential we do and work with the states to refine Asteroids Outpost into an crawly, polished, ULTRAFUN game!! I estimate what I'm maxim is: delight bitch about the game then that nosotros can make it better.

As well some of the other Salty squad will brand a mail service or two so you lot can hear from some of the other people that worked on this game (and I don't go to hog all the limelight).

Thanks for your involvement in our game. First rule of Asteroids Outpost - don't forget to look upwardly!!!!

Some other update that was made by the community director stated that "Early Access will be opening upwards very soon", and then that seems to be just around the corner then. The concept of Asteroids Outpost entreatment to me, but I'm non really sold yet, and add to the fact that this will be yet another Early on Access title, don't get me wrong there have been some really good Early Access games, but there'south as well been way to many bad ones and and so there's the ones which the devs have just stopped working on.
