Dev Update #10 - OUR FIRST EVER STORY TRAILER! & STEP-BY-STEP SURVIVAL GUIDE!

23.5.

Hello, Explorers!

As you know, EON Corp. is working hard to make Operation Honeycomb a success. That's why, today we'll share some of the key elements of our game with you.

In this devlog, you'll discover essential survival techniques to navigate and tame the alien and dangerous fauna and flora of Sota7. We'll also focus on introducing our concept of condition, health, and knockout in the game. Stay tuned for some tips and tricks for enduring the challenges of Sota7 and ensuring your survival in this hostile environment.

NEW TRAILER

We have to announce that our FIRST EVER STORY TRAILER is here, ready for you to uncover. It's time to show you an introduction to our story. Get a glimpse into Hennessy’s life and the mission she’s embarked on. Discover why the game is set on an alien planet instead of the Earth. Check it out and unveil the mysteries that await!

Your opinion is always welcome in the comments section! Thank you!

SURVIVAL FEST

Dear Explorers! As you know, Honeycomb: The World Beyond is a survival game, and on May 27th, we'll be participating in the Open World Survival Crafting Fest on Steam with a commentary stream about the game's features.

On this occasion we'd like to shine a brighter light on our survival mechanics and explore the whys and wherefores of how we treat them the way we do.

NEW MAP

Step into the new world with us. Much has changed since you last glimpsed Sota7 in our devlogs.
We hope this will be a fresh start for you in exploring this land, awakening your curiosity as researchers navigating through this unique planet, with even greater enjoyment.
Check out a few takes of what’s new, and let us know how you feel about it.

SURVIVAL GUIDE

CONDITION

In our game, we focus on Condition and taking care of Hennessy to avoid unnecessary risks. This system directly impacts your character's endurance, allowing you to conduct essential research efficiently – your lifeline in this world.

How does it work?

As a player, you're in charge of her, and your actions can push her to the brink. If stamina drops too low, she risks a knockout – our unique take on character death in the game.

Time may heal wounds, but not entirely. After a while, you'll regain consciousness, but the effects of your carelessness will linger, affecting your performance.

We designed this system to make the player think strategically, like a real survivor trying to prevail despite the harsh conditions. Taking care of Hennessy is crucial, and you'll be rewarded for it. However, every reward has its flip side. A knockout is a serious setback; limping back to base in a weakened state is no walk in the park, and can be downright perilous.

As an experienced bioengineer, survival is your top priority. Charging at bears with bare fists? Not so much. It's all about smart decisions and staying one step ahead of the dangers that lurk around the corner. Remember, always keep healing items on hand – they can be lifesavers.

THIRST AND HUNGER

As we mentioned before, keeping Hennessy healthy is our top priority. But what if you head out without any supplies?

You can always try depending on foraging for sustenance. Sota7 has some wild plants and fruits – though not all of them are safe. Almost everything is edible, but some might give you a nasty surprise.

If it comes to thirst, remember to craft a smoothie, tea or even energy drink to not pass out.

So, gear up before you go exploring. We've got two tools to help you out: the Cooker, which makes even toxic antus edible and tasty like a gourmet meal, and the Water Dispenser, which turns river water into crystal-clear hydration, perfect for those hot days.

Stay prepared and keep Hennessy in top shape - without energy, there is no exploring.

STAMINA

Even though Hennessy is a trained bioengineer on a tough mission, she’s not a robot and has her limits. One big limit? Stamina.

Basic tasks and intense activities tire her out. You can easily recharge energy by standing still and resting.

But after a long day, she needs a solid dose of sleep, which she can only get back at the base. So, planning your day wisely will yield the best results.

There are ways to cheat the system, though. Consuming certain supplies can let her go without sleep for longer, but be ready to face the consequences – they’ll mess with Hennessy’s well-being.

AIR CONDITIONS

Okay, let’s gear up a bit, shall we? We’ve got a useful tool to help Hennessy face toxic air. Keep her lungs safe by crafting a Gas Mask, allowing you to navigate polluted areas freely… For some time. Just remember, it won’t last forever.

Do you want to dive deep and stay submerged longer? Craft yourself a Rebreather! This gadget boosts your underwater breathing time, but don’t forget – it’s got its limits.

HEALTH MANAGEMENT

Ready to face the wilds? Diseases and injuries can sneak up on you, so having some basic medical know-how is crucial. Risking critical condition is (almost) never worth it.

There are two kinds of medicaments in our game. Light meds, like herbal tea, are great for minor issues or a quick condition boost. You can prepare them with relative ease in your Cooker, and you’re good to go.

For serious stuff, you’ll need advanced meds that require an aid station. Think bandages and painkillers – perfect for the bigger injuries and keeping Hennessy in top shape.

SNEAK PEEK

In one of our previous updates, we presented a model of our heroine. Today, we'd like to show you a glimpse of her animated expressions. Enjoy!

KEEP UP TO DATE

We survived, Explorers! We hope our approach to condition and the reasoning behind our health system is now clear. Remember, Hennessy is our main protagonist, and taking care of her is your top priority.The tips and tricks we've shared today should help you as you explore the planet Sota7. We believe you'll handle any danger that comes your way like a pro bioengineer!

Wrapping things up, we invite you once more to watch our story trailer, and join us during survival fest!
As always, our social media channels are open for you to stay in the loop with the latest news.

Honeycomb

Subnautica but on land ?

Seems very close to a rip off using near identical style and designs, care to explain ?

Dev Update #9 - Crossbreeding facts you have to know!

26.3.

Hello explorers!

It's been a while since we last saw each other and we’re happy to meet you again!

With the first blooms the spring came back, making the days longer, warmer, and brighter.
We felt inspired to share a development update focused on a pivotal game mechanic: crossbreeding.
Cherishing the sunny days, we’ll focus on plants, leaving the animal section for later.
For those who are eager to deepen their knowledge about our game, this video-devlog is for you!

Crossbreeding, though a fascinating mechanic, comes packed in layers of complexity and restrictions. Not all actions are allowed, and not every experiment leads to success. We're here to gently steer you through the dos and don'ts, paving the way for your success as a bioengineer! However, we won't reveal everything — maintaining an air of mystery is essential.

KEEP UP TO DATE

We hope that you've gleaned some insight into the nuanced world of plant crossbreeding in our game. It fills us with excitement to gradually reveal the many mysteries of Honeycomb to you. If certain facets have sparked your curiosity, we're eager to hear from you on our social media platforms — our team is ready to engage and share more with our vibrant community!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1510440

Psst!

For those who love being in the know ahead of time, we've got a little sneak peek of our next devlog for you. After all, we haven't mentioned anything about animals today, have we?

As always, we encourage you to enhance your wishlist by adding Honeycomb and invite you to visit our Discord. There, you'll discover exclusive content and will be able to interact more closely with the team working on the game.

Dev update #8 - PC and Console release date, and NEW trailer!

23.11.2023

Hello Explorers!

We hope your journey to Sota7 is smooth sailing, and you've settled into a comfy seat.
We're sending you a crucial update straight from the ship, courtesy of Hennessy herself. In this message, you'll learn about a significant change in the release date, as well as added subtitle to our game, key art change, and console news…
We encourage you to stay with us until the very end.

Thanks and wishing you a pleasant journey, Team Honey~

WHAT’S NEW

Getting to the heart of the matter, we wanted to share a very important message with you. Be assured that we made this decision keeping the project's best interests in mind and ensuring everything is locked in place. We hope you understand, but we've chosen to move the Honeycomb release date to Q3 2024.

We understand that it's not the first time we've adjusted the release date, but with the complete vision of the Honeycomb project in mind, we want to deliver the game to you in its full glory.

This adjustment is driven not only by the commitment to launch the complete game instead of early access but also by a major announcement we've been keeping under wraps...

It's BIG NEWS for both us and console players! Alongside the full PC version of Honeycomb, we'll try to launch the game simultaneously on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S!

We wanted to make sure players on all platforms will be able to embark on this journey at once.

We hope you understand our decision, and perhaps it'll add a bit of sweetness with our new TRAILER, diligently prepared for you over the past few weeks:

KEY ART

Just as bees breathe life into our planet, we've decided to infuse new life into our capsule. Hennessy stands in the glow of dawn over Sota7, looking out beyond the horizon. Her time is now, and the world is full of new things for her to discover. It's time to embrace this boundless space, leaving behind her symbolic cradle.

On Sota7, Hennessy has a chance to encounter life forms that don't necessarily conform to her expectations and enjoy much more freedom than she ever did living in the safe enclosures offered by the ARKs back on Earth.

NEW SUBTITLE

After much back-and-forth within our team, we've decided that our game could use a subtitle to better capture the essence of what Honeycomb is all about. But before we dive into that, let's kick things off with a fundamental question - why did we call the game Honeycomb in the first place?
Our most important inspiration for the game is nature and the role it plays in the survival of our planet and frankly, without bees, mankind would be gone in less than five years.

Since our game mechanics are so closely tied to the natural process of cross-pollination and humanity’s continued struggle to survive against all odds, “honeycomb” represents Earth, a place that humanity built up as its cradle. It’s a safe, well-known space, but also a closed and limited environment.

The subtitle we’ve chosen complements the main title and points to the other core mechanic of our game - exploration. “The World Beyond” is what we’d like to invite you to see for yourselves - a realm that stretches beyond our comfort zone, surpassing the cradle. Sota7 is a door to that limitless, unfamiliar place – a world filled with captivating discoveries and potential hazards, inviting us to venture into the unexplored.

Inspired by the addition of a new subtitle, we also opted for a subtle change in the logo. We aimed to highlight Art Nouveau elements in a more sci-fi-inspired style. The delicate floral motifs on the lettering signify vegetation, while the centrally placed letter Y resembles a capsule containing plant life.
We're curious to hear your thoughts, so be sure to let us know in the comments what you think about the new visual direction of our logo.

KEEP UP TO DATE

So… that's a wrap for today, Explorers. We hope you like the changes and share our excitement about the console and full PC release in Q3 2024. We're aware that this is another delay, but we want to make things right.

As always we encourage you to visit and follow us on social media, and wishlist us on Steam Page as well. But if you’re curious about some exclusive content, check our our Discord server, by clicking on the banner below, or HERE[discord.gg].

Main character redesign?

When and why did that happen? I really liked the design a lot more when shes more of a voiceless and faceless person in a hazard suit. Not trying to diss whatever grand idea and metaphors someone had with the story, but I suppose I should just honestly say my issue. I really don't like it when survival games quips and talk all the time. I did not enjoy that in below zero and I hope to not have to deal with something like that again in this game if it ever came out....
