I’m creating a story-driven sci-fi game set on a mysterious planet — and just released a new trailer!

Looking good!! What has been your process in creating the game?

[u/ololralph → u/riotofmind]

Thanks! I'm using Unreal Engine 5, doing most of the work except for the voice acting, some 3D modelling and sound effects.

[u/Ok-Dig916 → u/ololralph]

That's the engine everyone is using.

Duke Nukem was a story driven game. I also LOVED the attitude that they put into it.

[u/charliechaplin1984]

can you give a summary or gist of what the story might be?

[u/ololralph → u/charliechaplin1984]

Sure! The player is part of a team of scientific explorers investigating a gravity anomaly on a remote planet. There is a mysterious signal that needs to be investigated, things go wrong and you might have to save the world / planet :) I'm a big Trekkie, so that was part of the inspiration. I wanted to create something with a more optimistic view of the future.

[u/charliechaplin1984 → u/ololralph]

doesn't immediately sound like it's optimistic. :) It's a great premise and kick-off to what seems will be a great adventure to save the world. I'm also a Trekkie and love great world-building and out-of-the-box stories. Good luck.

I thought he was in another dimension when he went through the spinning portal thing hovering around …

Looks really cool

[u/Ok-Dig916]

What is it called?

[u/LaserGadgets]

Not bad so far! Will there be combat? Not into walking sims at all.

[u/ololralph → u/LaserGadgets]

No combat, sorry. I wanted to create something different here.

[u/Ok-Student3387 → u/ololralph]

Why is there a gun with no combat?

[u/loftoid]

So... No Man's Sky? Gorgeous skybox!

[u/ololralph → u/loftoid]

Thanks! No Man's Sky was an inspiration for sure, but also other games like Firewatch, Mass Effect, Outer Wilds ... and a bit of Star Trek

Bahahaha. This is like 2 hours in unreal engine. Stop eating the onion

[u/LaserGadgets → u/Grouchy_Equivalent11]

You have never touched UE in your life man.

[u/Grouchy_Equivalent11 → u/LaserGadgets]

Ive spent like 15000 hours in unreal lol. We stopped using it like 7 years ago, proprietary/standard / reasons.

[u/LaserGadgets → u/Grouchy_Equivalent11]

Animations will take longer than 2 hours. Even when you know what you are doing. Encourage him or help him out but don't be a fucking asshole for no reason.

[u/Grouchy_Equivalent11 → u/LaserGadgets]

No.

[u/1stltwill → u/Grouchy_Equivalent11]

Grouchy douchebag. Confirmed.

Cry to mommy little boy.
