Developers from the Canadian studio Klei Entertainment, who created Don't Starve and Mark of the Ninja, have announced the release date for the final version of Oxygen Not Included. Hand-drawn space colony simulator, which has already received a lot of accolades, will leave early access ΠΈ May 28 - two years after the release.
The release date of the final version of the developers announced in the teaser, on the occasion of the release of the latest update from The Quality of Life series. The patch significantly changed the balance of diseases: now the colonists get sick more often, but it is easier to cure the disease, and there is no immunity at all. The overall balance has also been adjusted. In addition, the job system has turned into a skill system, new buildings have appeared, modification support has improved, and there are fewer bugs and interface problems. The full list of fixes is available at the link above.
The authors assured that they would not abandon the game after leaving early access. On the road map a month ago, they noted that at the same time as the final release, the game will receive three new biomes, new creatures, buildings and other content, as well as official support for modifications. In the future, the developers will continue to release quality of life updates and fix bugs, as well as start working on DLC. The price may go up after exiting early access. Now the game costs 449 rubles. in both stores (excluding the 25% discount, which is valid until April 19).
Oxygen Not Included combines elements of management and survival simulation. The player's task is to take care of the colonists who are trying to build a settlement on the asteroid: help them extract resources, develop the base, farm, craft equipment and learn new technologies. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor various indicators, including hunger, stress, temperature and oxygen. The latter is of particular importance: almost all zones in the game are deprived of it, and their exploration requires careful preparation. Another unusual feature is the simulation of gas diffusion: whenever the user opens a new location, the atmosphere changes, and the oxygen content in already accessible areas may decrease.
Oxygen Not Included was announced at E3 2016 and was released to Steam Early Access on February 15, 2017. According to lead designer Johann Seidenz, the game is inspired by Dwarf Fortress, Prison Architect and The Sims. Despite the fact that it is still in the "beta" stage, gamers rate it incredibly highly. Based on 16,7 thousand user reviews on Steam, her reviews are characterized as "very positive". Buyers call it one of the best games of recent years, capable of capturing tens and even hundreds of hours.
Klei Entertainment released Mark of the Ninja Remastered last year and is also working on ΠΈ , based on the children's game "Kick Off the Ground", and continues to support the already released games, Don't Starve Together.
