Untethered - Zero G Survival Game

[@Untethered-Game]

Thanks for playing Splitsie! It was lovely to watch and of course great to meet you at PAX. (PS: Trust me, the misaligned solar panels on the Small Module annoy me just as much! That'll be fixed the next time I do a modelling pass on that module.) (PPS: Y-Invert coming in Demo 2.5 - couple weeks from now. No idea how you play with that setting, but I suppose I should support it! 😆)

[@YTgameing2114]

I have the demo and when is the game going to comeout and can you add save to demo please please

[@altzan2602]

Do you have a Discord?

[@JPEight]

When you said the game had humour, my first thought was as follows: “Press button to evacuate “ - I guess we have to press the button “Venting atmosphere, evacuation complete” *Proceeds to suffocate and have to restart* What can I say, I have a dark sense of humour 😅

Ignores all the warnings about hunger and then wonders why his vision goes blurry and has the heartbeat audio

[@Valenorious]

One would expect someone previously working in the medical field, dealing with the 'rear end' of things, to be aware of such considerations. Maybe it is a good idea that he changed professions. ;)

[@dazley8021]

The first few minutes and I'm like "Gee is this the alarm sound simulator?"

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

The alert buzzer reminds me of the master alarm from _Apollo 13._ In fact I bet a lot of the problems that the Odyssey had to solve to get home are going to be similar, starting with electricity. "Power is everything!" Come to think of it, the spacecraft looks like the top bit of a Saturn rocket orbiting... Saturn. The design of the O2 gauge is also very similar to that on the command module. 😆

[@Untethered-Game]

I'm so glad you picked that up - a lot of art is inspired from the Apollo program, including the master alarm, the TUG (which is inspired by the S-IVB Saturn V stage) and the gauges, so very well done!

33:36 and I am crying that he STILL hasn't checked to see if his lab is actually ON! Update: 51:18 Eat food! Drink Water!... Oh, yeah it's Splitsie, of course he forgot. Update 2: Having played the game I can confirm one internal module on the start wreckage (both wrecks are apparently part of the same station) still functions and can be used. At the intersection before the airlock the other intact module has a functional water tank inside that can fill the empty water pouches.

[@jayclubb2732]

@Splitsie, have you played ABOVE EARTH? If not, it's a very similar gameplay loop, in the same kind of setting, but the difficulty has been turned up to 11. Even before this vid, I thought you might like it

[@altzan2602]

I tell you what... The music for this game is so pretty and relaxing. It really puts in the serenity and loneliness of space.

[@Vivi-yw1eu]

The aesthetics of the game really reminded me of Hardspace: Shipbreaker. The UI font seems to be the same, and the suit warning lady is at least very similar. Can't say whether direct connection or same root of inspiration though.

[@willowby]

It was very fun speaking to you two at pax!! Thanks for playing, I enjoyed watching.

[@Flipsie]

Thanks, I probably could have talked for a LOT longer, I think I might spend too much time watching game dev youtube channels :D

[@willowby]

@@Flipsie Oh I totally get that feeling! PAX really helped that part of me

[@crazymike7883]

You know what just because i want too. If i was a developer i would put a box that says Inverted controls but it does absolutely nothing. Because im pretty sure Splitsie is the only one who uses inverted controls.

[@Flipsie]

Studies looking into it show that about 20% of people use them, it's more common than most believe

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

@@Flipsie so the equivalent of being left handed in the gaming world...Now I wonder what the overlap would be...

[@gobs379]

@@Rikard_Nilsson Not much. I'm right handed and played inverted for decades. I've learned to do either/or. If I had to guess, I think those who started off playing mostly flight sims are those who prefer inverted.

[@eloryosnak4100]

​@@gobs379now *that* is a fascinating point. I never would have thought of it on my own but it well could be! Y'all are still wrong but at least now we know why

[@VOYAGER746561701E]

The computers voice at the beginning sounded like the computer on Deep Space Nine 😅

[@DarkEclipse223]

1:27 that siren gives me bad memories of my used to be mothers 1983 Toyota corona Cs station wagons alarm going off even when it's battery was low

[@Flipsie]

Lol 😂

[@musicduck4538]

We had that as a fire alarm in school

[@XzHKJESSzX]

3:45 < - Alarm skip button

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

50:04 if it were milliampere hours it would be lower case 'm' for mAH. And I'm no electrician but a regular car starter-battery has a capacity of 1000A, and this fridge-size box seems to be able to hold 500 times that, seems wrong to me, especially for the 1970's. edit: doing some google-fu I found that the lunar lander and lunar rover batteries held a couple of hundred Ampere hours each, Perseverance Mars rover have 2 lithium batteries at 43 Amp hours each.

[@PiroteusGaming]

I hope Capac owns one of those mall solar baseballcaps with the litte ventialtor to the face... if not... you know what to give him for Christmas, specialy since your cristmas is summer.

[@Flipsie]

lol :D

[@Galerak1]

I'm with Capac, that red looked ominous. Looked like you were crawling into a thruster tube to get ashed 🤣

[@williamgodard1526]

I know I've mentioned this before but you and capac need to try heavenly bodies. It's a ragg doll physics space sim/ puzzler.

[@sundaynightcommander]

wait... Capac has a painting stream?!

[@Flipsie]

Yep, he has been streaming while painting Warhammer stuff every Wednesday for a while now, over on his Twitch channel 🙂

[@sundaynightcommander]

@@Flipsie I’ll have to check it out then.Thx

[@CASA-dy4vs]

18:10 checkpoint for later nerdz

[@Valenorious]

Since when do you need to process telemetry before you can stuff something into a cupboard?

[@adamjenkins7653]

Since FICSIT expand into the material storage business.

[@Valenorious]

@@adamjenkins7653 That would be a satisfactory answer if this was Satisfactory. ;) But it isn't.

[@rob-rendell]

From the perspective of the game, I guess it's because you start with 4 credits, and the only way to earn credits initially is to start generating telemetry data. If the game let you spend your starting credits unlocking the cupboard blueprint instead of unlocking the telemetry blueprint, you would then be soft-locked. And thinking about it in fiction, the tree isn't a research tree, it's an incentive scheme from a company that wants space explorers to send them data, so the prerequisites can be completely arbitrary.

[@voidphilosopher42]

Hm... 1 stream, 2 VOds... Seems like traveling really hurts the dad jokes though. "I was going to become a fisherman but gave up on it after I found out that I couldn't live on my net income."

[@KrisSchall]

seems like a mix of Tin Can and life not supported

[@Flipsie]

If only tin can wasn't so heavily dependent on the manual instead of in world info to show things were wrong I think I'd have enjoyed it more

[@thedebate4836]

this game has some breathedge vibes for sure

[@fatsoda]

I saw this at pax as well it looked awesome

[@skipper2285]

Jeb would be proud.

[@joesoap7546]

Game looks like it has some good potential, but those consistent incessant alarms made it painful to watch.

[@Flipsie]

At least once I knew where they were coming from I was able to stop them, it was that initial search that was a killer 😂

[@2005Guyver02]

What could have caused the damage? It was probably the man hole cover the US sent into orbit when messing around with nukes underground. (Yes that happened).

[@Flipsie]

Is that still in our solar system though? 😜

[@2005Guyver02]

@@Flipsie Considering the gravity of the sun and the earth, it could be :)

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

I very much doubt that a manhole cover would survive a nuclear blast without being melted into slag

[@Flipsie]

I doubt it looks much like a manhole cover any more, but there is footage from a blast test done in the US where I believe 2 frames of a manhole cover are visible and from that you can estimate its velocity, the velocity it reached exceeded escape velocity. I don't know if anyone's done any approximate orbital calculations though

[@mementomori5580]

Ok, that Siren at the beginning would be enough for me to quit the game, uninstall it and give it a bad review. Like, seriously, how could anyone think that THAT was a good idea to have blasting for the whole beginning over and over again... Edit: And then it's followed by that alarm!

[@CASA-dy4vs]

I genuinely hope this is satire

[@popinjayishuman]

If you give a game a bad review because you don’t like one of the sound effects then you should see someone to check if you have a physiological or psychological condition regarding reactions to sound. That’s not normal and you probably have an auditory stimulation sensitivity.

[@shocktnc]

I agree, I have tinnitus and it was triggered just by watching the stream at low volume. For a lot of people those kinds of blaring alarms make games unplayable and physically painful.

[@CASA-dy4vs]

@@shocktnc I’m sure if enough people complain the devs will add an option to turn down SFX or alarms in general

[@JSVIII]

it is kind of funny that you traded one suit lady for another suit lady, saying the same anoying things. your iventory is full. your o2 is low.

[@daddy0798]

This game reminds me of a game I use to play way back called adrift that you can get on steam.

[@shocktnc]

Indeed, honestly nothing it does is new or groundbreaking, my hope is that they at least do it better!
