Beyond Contact - Apocalyptic Open World Sandbox Survival 

Yea i have the exactly same feel need to play it some more to confirm but it seams like its going in that direction.

Sounds like Sypha from Castlevania.

Yeah, come on. Many things he complains either is explained somewhere or is very visible

Just Splat being Splat. He does that deliberately so that we are more encouraged to get the game ourselves to show how it's done right.

youtubers do that, to get comments as youtube judge comments as interaction and recomends videos base on interation.

@@Neyreyan it’s not weed related… don’t put stupid on weed!

@@StarlasAiko So it's "performative incompetence"? ;)

i thought the same. i liked dont starve but i personally like space much more

I agree like 100 percent. I actually called it: "Beyond Contact, Science Fiction version of Don't Starve with NPCs and Story Elements? Yes please!". Because thats just what it is, like a SCI-FI version of Don't Starve. Obviosly it has its own thing going as well but comparison is hard to avoid.

DONT STARVE NEEDS A SEQUEL, STAT!!! Hamlet, was cool …but; 1. Don’t Starve: IN SPACE! :Obviously what you hinted at…instead of don’t starve being limited to a world with teleports, make it more like NoManssky but smaller universe, than that game. Craft spaceship to leave world and visit new ones, with randomly generated plants and animals - with each world having your basic core of each, and then like 5-10 other sources that can be randomdigitized’ stats and mats. For instance, randomly generated tree with mats being wood+fish….just make an animation that simulates a wiggly fish, and they hang from the tree, in game. Or a creature with a turtle body and a flower growing out of top, killing it yields meat and sticks and a flower. 2. Character/Swapping: Need to have a game system where using a certain character, allows doing something in game that no one else can do (but this will require a new craft-able thing maybe called a ‘Transmorforpicator’! Let’s you change your character into another character. Of course have them locked and need to unlock, using gameplay. 3. Updated mobs + flora and minerals, but keep most already there. Just add extra like Hamlite’ a fleshy colored metal. 4. Add new weather conditions and storms, updated with the randomized, for creating cool new worlds. Hey, if I can do it, and I’m not a coder, I’m sure any software designer can make a cool world generator. New weather could be like, silica rain, that damaged buildings not reinforced with a silica shell (craftable item that will be introduce…. That can be “added” to an exsisting item or structure. Or possibly “Hamlet Fog”, a smelly sweat&bacon tinged fog, that turns the air into a thing that transforms you into a pig for a short period, unless ‘Gaseous Maskeous’ is worn. Fish Tornados, moving through landscape, that removes coatings from structures, sends fish flying all over, that melt in the heat and creates “death clouds” that require gas mask. ‘Green Snow’, just use exsisting snow graphics but change the hue to a greenish tint, the snow covers everything like winter does, but happens only every 4 days, slows characters, mask required after melt, etc….just make cool stuff. 5. Daytime/Nightime. Introduce different time changes on different worlds, most will be normal day/night…. But have some that have a TWILIGHT period, able to introduce new creatures, flora, minerals, weather…or DOUBLE-DAY, when the two sins of a two sun system focus their energy on one day, burning everything not coated in whatever substance game designed add. Even require a double day suit. Perhaps wood doesn’t burn on some worlds… 6. Hobby/Talent: introduce a hobby system, much like RPG classes, except you get them all (all in game classes). You level them up through successfully using the class skills, and experience points. Hobbies like Scout (like Boy Scouts, general survival skills), Biologist, Chemistry, Alchemy, Woodwooker, masonry, dancing (increase movement and combat skills), singing (gather pets class), Astronaut (increase spaceship travel and scanning new worlds), Scientist (scan worlds, and flora/crits/minerals), Miner, Axeman, etc. 7. New Creatures, Flora, Minerals & Chemistry. Like fish that breath little fireballs, kangaroos with guns/lasers), Elephotomis (Elephant and a Rhino), Burtle (turtle and a bird), etc

That actually sounds like a glitch to me. Why would that even be a thing. Why not give back all the oxygen right away from just a single click.

@@TheNeomare I could see that, but it seems to me its an air vent so some should be trickling out at all times anyway

@@ruvadar i tried it out and my oxygen went to 100 and started flashing and stayed at 100 for 2 minutes even after i moved from the bouble. I managed to get it going down instantly again by clicking on a new bouble. Just clicking. Also there is like a LOT of these oxygen vents and they do replenish with time so yea air is trickling out all the time but after you harvest the majority of it the litle that remains should not be of any use at that point anway. And if you let it alone for a day or so it builds up again and can be used again. That is my interpretation anyway. But anway it is just a game if somebody wants to remove the mechanic alltogether and just relax and play i guess its fair game. Until they patch it anyway which i think they should. Thank you for mentioning it though it is good to be aware of it :).

I think Dark Souls set the standard for dealing with lore of staggering depth and not overloading the player. I'd say they even went the opposite way--just enough to set the scene, but cryptic enough to where you're unsettled by what you don't know. Naturally not the ideal for EVERY game, but absolutely perfect for that series. Very well thought out.

That works for 90 percent of games like shooters

The problem with not shoving down lore down your throat is that if you really like the story then you'll not be able to experience it to a fuller extent if the game deliberately tells you "just enough". There's a fine line and you really need to know the audience and be creative about the storytelling methods.

Artstyle remind me a lot of subnautica, the UI aswell, the sounds.. most of it makes me think the same person who made Subnautica made this game

…..because that IS what it is lol. You aren’t seeing anything that they aren’t showing you, what they’ve showed is another “open world exploration game” that is really a resource gatherer sim

Yea progression has a similar feel to Subnautica. Its Sandbox until you decide to progress the story by going to next objective. The feel is different though since it is isometric obviosly. There is combat, enemies do not fallow you around so you can easily avoid them at least early on. Not sure for later on but there are definatly things to swing at if that is what you wish. To me this game is mechanic wise most similar to Don't Starve but i like the estethics of it way more. And it seams like there is some complex base building later on so it might diverege there. Oh and it has a workable story at least in my opinion. Anyway if you are on the edge I will put out an hour or so gameplay every two days so check it out if you like. Search for "Beyond Contact" (DUH!) on my channel :). Have a nice day :D.

@@TheNeomare I was really sure, sandbox means no-story-free-roaming-around-the-map. Glad there is a real story though. Don't starve was really boring, I never got the hype. Bought it for under 5 bucks, still regret it. But maybe its one of those games you gotta play in CoOp!

@@LaserGadgets I don't know anymore. Reluctant to clean cut anything anymore not to offend somebody. But by your definition it is definatly not a sandbox then and i would tend to agree with that definition. And in my book it is a huge plus because i like stories :). Don't Starve was a decent game. As for the hype haha thats the beast of its own. Played it a bit nothing to special. Have high hopes for this one though :).

@@TheNeomare Oh I like stories too. Its a bit pointless to run around without a reason, and build things...specially in survival games.

@@LaserGadgets Exactly! :) It is nice to have a goal something to work towards :) and stories are to me the most natural and interesting way for defining these goals :).

True, but that would take the fun out of it

@Michael Resh I am sure there will be plenty let's plays of it. If you are looking for something somewhat consistent i will throw out a 1 hour video every 2 days. Search for "Beyond Contact, Science Fiction version of Don't Starve with NPCs and Story Elements? Yes please!".

I was hooked on that game until nothing I did mattered anymore. Got bored. lol

I was going to say the same thing. I'd be curious if it was the same voice actress.
