Eurogamer Sit Rep

Hi everyone.

So, what a week the team at Flix has had. This time last week we were at the UK’s largest games show, Eurogamer Expo, showing our pre-alpha combat tech demo to the public for the first time ever. The response we got was simply incredible!

An estimated 70,000 people attended the Expo this year and across all four days our stand was packed with people wanting to get hands on with Eden Star. Almost everyone who played the game loved it and those who didn’t gave us some incredibly valuable feedback. My personal quote of the show was “smash…I forgot about that I was blinded by all the awesome”. We had people of all ages and it was absolutely fascinating to see such distinctly different playing styles emerging so early in development.

A big shout must go out to all the other games that where on show in the indie arcade with Cloudbuilt, Teslagrad, Fist of Awesome, Skipping Stones and Chroma (but to name a few) proving to be both awesome neighbours and even better drinking buddies. We truly did meet some friends for life down in London.

Also we were all incredibly humbled by the support shown to us by the press and media. From BBC Radio 1 to the amazing guys from 1001-up.com the coverage we received was incredible. It is always a pleasure to meet people who do what they love and the team from 1001-up clearly adore their work. On behalf of the whole team I would like to extend our gratitude to everyone at 1001-up for awarding the best game of Eurogamer. From podcasters to bloggers and TV to Radio my sincere thanks to everyone for your time.

Eurogamer however is simply the beginning. Now the real fun begins. We have already received the Greenlight on Steam and over the coming weeks we will be running our Kickstarter. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances during our verification process it has been delayed slightly. The second it goes live we will let you all know. Anything you can pledge will bring us one step closer to turning our dream into a reality and allowing us to realise the full potential Eden Star. Stay tuned for all the latest on the game and as always, thanks for your support.

In the Shadow of the Crater

So, this week we wanted to share a snippet of our resident concept guru’s artwork on Pharus 7 along with a snippet of supporting lore…

As a Pioneer you find yourself on a frontier world, far from civilisation. Your task is to reclaim this wilderness, plunder the earth for its rich minerals and annihilate any threat to the Eden Star for the advancement of the human domain.

The Eden Kit touches down in an open space in order for you to establish an outpost. The powerful core emits a beam of energy when in alignment with the orbiting vessel; Eden Star, transferring a concentrated flow of energy, minerals and data. It is a guiding beacon of light to a Citadel Pioneer, but also an irresistible source of rich sustenance to which certain indigenous lifeforms are uncontrollably attracted…

Pharus 7 is a small planetoid with a hyper axial rotation, causing short day cycles. The night is illuminated by Pharus’ twin planets, orbiting moons and the alluring glow of precious minerals.

More lore coming soon…

Demo nearly done, just a few bugs left to squash…

Despite our focus on other projects here at Flix, the combat demo for Eden Star is closing on a release. So we thought we’d share one of our testers bug videos, because why not right?

Everyone is having a blast testing the demo at the moment… However, we are sorry to say that this bug is definitely not a feature.

Keep an eye on this space for more information about a realease date!

( I do have to apologise about the video resolution as well. Some bugs are very spur of the moment, and in those moments it doesn’t make much sense to be recording at 1080 or 720p ;D )
