Early Look at a New Space Survival Game - Astrometica

[@Jolid63]

Agree about copycat.. But sometimes there's some twist that's interesting..

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

@@Jolid63 in fairness there’s a lot of cannibalization in the survival gaming space in terms of gameplay, though yes it’s visually very similar to other games.

[@thebushpilot4091]

Reminds me of WarpedSpace and Subnautica

[@shadowforgedgamerz520]

Hey Fox, just want to say I't's really good having you onboard playing "Starnautica" [ahem] umm, I mean Astrometica... This game is so bonkers fun! One thing I noticed in my playthrough so far is "Scan every object you come across [r-click] because sometimes there's objects that are scannable, but the little icon doesn't pop up at the bottom right away. or maybe we have to be in a certain position to get the pop-up... so I hit it with all static items I see and oh boy have I've gotten a crap ton of cool stuff to build later on! By the way, the tool upgrade bench is worth the materials to build. upgrade you mining tool, scanner, and laser with op upgrades you can actually "slot" into the tools! I have the T2 upgrade for mining power and speed now and it literally takes 1 second to harvest iron and ice asteroids, and 3 seconds for the copper. Silver takes about 6 seconds. As for the bigger mining rig that fits on base, Don't know if they can be fitted with those upgrades since I haven't built one yet . However, if they can... it'll be so worth it! @.@ also...out there behind your base, past the broken glass balls where you found that base built in the asteroid? There's a strange long black object in front of the door and another just like it up above and behind where you opened those crates near the end of the stream. Go scan them! It gives you the ability to create "Portable Pop & Drop Shield bubbles with oxygen" in them [Remote Oxygen Stations] and they're super cheap to build! Alright.. see you next week for the next Installment of this!

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

haha glad you're enjoying the game. I've tackled all this tuff in a later stream :)

[@copperkidultra5005]

*Fox: (@**3:28:30** in this stream) I know who was flying your ship that exploded!! It was… ~que reveal music~ @Glock9! He thought no one survived! Little does he know that you, @FloppySword, @SergeantKelvin, and a few others have indeed survived his psycho ride through the blockades! Job well done! Surely there’s a bounty for whomever is responsible for this tragic disaster! Be aware that he has space burgers and he ain’t afraid to chuck them at you with extreme prejudice! Lolololol!😂*

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

lol. I should have known!

[@will345davis]

Yeah, this is totally Breathedge minus the quirky silly humor mixed with Subnautica, but I dig it. I’ll definitely be picking this up. Hope to see more videos n it in the future

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

@@will345davis it’s fun so far, but yes very much borrows from other games :)

[@will345davis]

@ if we’re being honest, unless you’re developing a whole new genre, like Cawthon with FNAF or Fromsoft with Demon Souls, any game borrows from games in the same genre. That’s what makes it a genre. It’s all how those borrowed things are used that matters. Without Harvest Moon there’d be no Stardew Valley, but Stardew used all the mechanics perfectly so he wound up with a masterpiece and not a subpar clone.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

@@will345davis yeah 100% The surivival genre cannibalizes a lot, though in this case the game also looks a lot like certain other games too haha

[@mental_r0bot459]

Love these kind of games!

[@zombyslayrgaming]

Definitely inspired by Subnautica.

[@anthonyquinn3671]

You need to take a lot more notice of what the game needs you to do, You will open new blueprints when you finish the Task list on the Top Right.

[@Greymantle063]

Watching it here on youtube the decoder seems to be doing a great job. If you get the chance what decoder you using? I use to stream and lost my account about a year ago to Twitch. I have no urge to stream atm but down the road I might try to get a KZbin going. I have to do something when I retire. If I were ever to stream again its for the social because of my isolated life.

[@chazmartdesigns4308]

Just finished masticating and i need to clean up!

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

🤣

[@donnamiller8155]

Hey, George Watch Out for that Rock!!😂🤣

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

@@donnamiller8155 Ah-ah-ah-ahhhhhhh

[@ry1023.3]

I don’t like saying games copy other games but this game is reaallly close to subnautica

[@bradleebowers8203]

Invisible water mod in subnautica?

[@joebonaiuto5554]

The game looks like it might be interesting, but I am SOL without a map. I have absolutely no sense of direction and would end up very frustrated!

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

haha yeah I don't know if they intend to add one or not, but definitely flying blind at the moment

[@righteouscoder]

I want to stop watching and to continue watching both so bad... ugh.. but I need to close this tab so I can enjoy the exploration and discovery on my own, thanks for letting me know about this

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Hope you have fun with it if you pick it up :)

[@KingLaodicean]

In the past 24 hours I've watched 8 different gamers test this game... Was everyone secretly waiting for it to pop😂... Love this game btw

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

lol no the developer emailed people asking if they wanted to try it, and then provided the keys to everyone yesterday to play it before the release on the 10th.

[@KingLaodicean]

@CrypticFoxGaming can't wait, looks amazing

[@stanleyclark923]

There is a free demo you can play, not to be confused with the old prologue that they released a while back. Both are playable but the demo has new stuff/asteroid layout.

[@leegc1835]

Following the tutorial probably would of helped 🤣🤣

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Pft...tutorials are for readers lmao

[@consciousout8150]

I wish these games would finally start using end-chain crafting, instead of having to CRAFT EACH AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL PIECE BEFORE MAKING THE ACTUAL THING YOUR TRYING TO MAKE...

[@consciousout8150]

Dyson Sphere Program is the only game I know that actually does so. 😢

[@justinfreeman3078]

So, I definitely wasn’t paying attention and thought this was an unknown worlds game… way too many similarities…

[@shigeminotoge4514]

if I had a nickel for every time Cryptic Fox is trying to find nickel, I'd have enough nickel that he could stop looking for it.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

🤣

[@shadowstrikeify]

Once tou complete the building base it gives you solar pannels

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

@@shadowstrikeify you don’t say :)

[@johnnycime]

Quite sad to see they literally copied Subnautica without any added value or own ideas. Resources are almost same, the building structure looks the same, etc. These "developers" should be sued

[@thedreadpirateroberts7172]

Closer to breathedge than subnaticau.

[@MrKalidascopeEyes]

Game companies just copy paste anything remotely popular. There are about 100 knockoff versions of any given good ip. Even bad games like the entire idle section same game little to no actual difference. Hell look at ark they content flipped themselves with atlas.

[@Docktavion]

It’s a recurring theme especially with developers using same engines, assets etc. just a cash revenue generator

[@leegc1835]

Subnatica was boring this ain’t I don’t see the similarities imo!!!!

[@bastgojira8072]

I saw the thumbnail and thought it was Breathedge. Why are devs always making clones of games we've already played? Does no one in game development have any creativity anymore? Oh right.. it's because they're gaming corporations now, not developers. If a formula works once, they oversaturate the market with more of the same. Sad.
