All footage and audio is taken from the Pre Alpha Combat Tech Demo and is subject to change.

In this update your Personal Droid explains the core gameplay loop you can expect in Eden Star.

The Demo is a training simulation and offers a small glimpse of the gameplay of Eden Star; mine the surrounding rocks, convert minerals, build defences and defend your Eden Kit from aggressive flying enemy IKAs.

The scope of Eden Star’s gameplay greatly exceeds that of the Demo to include open world exploration, a variety of indigenous life forms, multiple mineral types, character progression, equipment upgrades and an expanded list of buildable objects. Automated defences will allow you to venture further from your Eden Kit and explore the hostile world of Pharus 7 whilst additional Eden Kits can be called down from Eden Star to expand your territory.

A massive thanks to all the backers so far! Stay tuned for regular updates including an FAQ section where we have collated questions from multiple sources. Please spread the word, tell your friends, and get involved in the community!

We’ve got another video for you!

This week, John and Matt give you a quick peek at the Free-running mechanic in Eden Star, enabling you to traverse the world in a smooth, flowing, athletic way thanks to our procedural mantling and wall-jumping system.

Sorry about the poor-quality video capture. Trust me, i looks much nicer in-game. Also even though John is playing here with an Xbox 360 controller, it plays just as well on mouse and keyboard.

There’s also a bit more wanton destruction thrown in there for you, including some updated MATA-Tool PFX. We’re in the process of overhauling everything, making sure we deliver the best possible experience for you at the Eurogamer Expo this September!
