FAQ 2.0

[Vince]

Are you planning to support Mac and Linux?
Yes. The engine (Unreal 4) supports both platforms, so I don't expect any problems there. However, we won't know until we try, so it's not a promise but a goal.

Other languages?
We can't afford localization. It is unfortunate as we do want more people to be able to play our games but without a proper budget there's very little we can do about it.

How do I leave the Pit and visit other places? Can I fast travel?
Map -> Switch to Ship Map -> Select an available location. You can fast travel to any location on your local or global map.

How do I upgrade gadgets?
Click on the gear icon next to the gadget to "open it up" and swap the parts.

How do I install implants?
Click on the medical machine in the Medbay. Implants can be upgraded further, the upgrades can't be installed if you don't have the the base implants.

---

Can I avoid combat and play a diplomatic character?
Yes. Much like in The Age of Decadence, the diplomatic path is fully viable and supported.

Can I ditch party members and play solo?
Yes. It's viable and supported by design (as your character level and skills will be higher).

Is there outer space exploration?
No.

Romances?
No. Our focus is on branching questlines and multiple quest solutions. Writing and scripting romances would take time that's better spent on quests and party dynamics.

Any survival mechanics?
No.

Can I create my own party?
No.

Can I become a faction leader?
No.

Crafting?
Sadly, no. We really wanted to but didn't have the resources.

Psionics? Space magic? Elven magic?
No.

Is there camera rotation?
No. Fixed perspective.

Hey, what is the preferred way of getting feedback? Forums, Steam Discussions, something else?

[skaudus]

No Balzaar space squid easter egg?

On a more serious note, is there a design element you purposefully shifted away from since AoD? As in, something you changed by design, not because of technical limitations/budget.

Our forums or Steam discussions. We constantly read both so your feedback won't be overlooked no matter where you post.

Cool, thanks

Regeneration doesn't function outside combat. Is this intentional, or an oversight?

[The Gameless One]

Can I use my own avatar when creating a character?

[Jesus Crust Pizza Party]

Will there be a Mac release in the future? If so, is there a planned release date?

Intentional for balance reasons otherwise you'd never have to heal again. We can say that it kicks in only in combat triggered by adrenaline release.

Not supported at the moment.

See above. The engine supports Mac but we don't have the resources to do it right now. We'd like to release the game on Mac and Linux but it's not something we can promise at the moment, because we've never done it before and don't know what's involved.

Thanks for this.

[Budoshi]

would there be more ambience sounds instead of only music in the background ?

[Lovious]

Is there a camera rotation?

Hopefully. We'd like to do more there but it's not something we can promise at the moment.
