About This Game You wake in an landing pod, check your equipment, and venture out onto the red Martian soil in search of a nearby habitat. With 25 square miles of the Red Planet to explore and survive, you must gather resources from randomized points-of-interest, supply caches, and other habitats in order to continue your mission. But survival is more than just tracking status bars. Maintaining your life-support equipment is just as important as maintaining your health.Explore a massive terrain generated from actual Mars satellite imagery. With features generated from scans collected by the HiRISE project and details painstakingly designed to reflect the photography captured by planetary rovers, this is as close as you can get to visiting the true Red Planet.Survive the harsh Martian environment with mechanics based on real health metrics like blood glucose levels, heart rate, caloric intake, and more. You will feel like a true interplanetary pioneer as you conquer the elements and survive randomized threats like dust storms.Capture the beauty of Mars with an in-game photography mechanic that allows you to document your discoveries. Photos are saved to your computer at full 1920x1080 resolution and can be referenced in-game where you can set objective points to navigate back to where the photos were taken.Interact with the various astronaut technologies through your dependable datapad. You will need to manage inventories, salvage and craft supplies, and repair vital life support systems in order to survive the desolate landscapes of Mars. Find and drive rovers to help manage multiple habitats. 6d5b4406ea Title: Lacuna PassageGenre: Indie, Simulation, Early AccessDeveloper:Candescent GamesPublisher:Candescent GamesRelease Date: 17 May, 2017 Lacuna Passage Download Crack Serial Key Keygen lacuna passage cheats. lacuna passage. lacuna passage rover. lacuna passage steam. lacuna passage gameplay. lacuna passage skidrow. lacuna passage wiki. lacuna passage walkthrough. lacuna passage trainer. lacuna passage pc. lacuna passage tips. lacuna passage download. lacuna passage free download. lacuna passage radiation. lacuna passage system requirements. lacuna passage food. lacuna passage game. lacuna passage release date. lacuna passage map. lacuna passage rtg. lacuna passage review This game has a lot of potential and.... about the distance between Earth and Mars still to walk until it will be a good game.The idea is great, the game atm runs with no particular problems. I had maybe a couple of crashes in 50 hours of play time, but there is nothing to do if not endless repetitive chores. It's not a survival, cause after 3-4 hours of gameplay to learn all the possible things to do, you know everything you need to go on indefinitely until you eat up all the loot around (food being the only thing that cannot be replenished).It can be considered as an exploration game, but after the usual couple of hours looking around at the landscape.... well.... it's a dead planet.... what do you expect to see if not reddish sand and rocks? The map is not random, obviously there are no enemies. Apparently the weather is not an issue, there are dust storms but they don't damage your toon or the equipment around. There is no cause to replay it after you spend 10-20 sol (1 sol = 1 martian day) in game, and the timescale is so fast that you can't even enjoy the transition between day and night (Timescale is 60. 1 minute in game is 1 second in real time).If you want to simulate for the sake of roleplaying, sleeping 7 hours each sol, and doing chores when awake, you spend 1 sol in game every 15 minutes in real time. And 20 sol in about 5 hours of real time. That's about the time you can pass enjoying the game in the actual stage of development. But you can live in full health with no setbacks by simply sleeping 2 hours per sol (simulation? survival? since when do you live without sleeping?). A lot of mechanics are exploitable and in need of serious polishing. Examples: Pop (inflatable) tents are magical spaces where you can live forever without consuming oxygen to breathe. Oxygen generation for the hab doesn't seem to take into account your presence inside the habitat. If you stay perfectly still outside the hab in your EVA-suit for 1 sol, apparently you use more oxygen than staying perfectly still inside the hab for 1 sol. The mechanics of power generation via solar panels is very akward and absolutely not simulation friendly. There is no permadeath, so even if you want to die on purpose, you can always reload the last save.But the REAL reason I don't recommend this game is: IT'S A SINGLE DEVELOPER GAME!I have to admit one single developer very talented, but 1 person can only do so much. The purpose of EA games is to help funding the team of developers to achieve their purpose in developing the game.In this case, even if 1 million people for the sake of the argument would buy the game, it wouldn't change the fact that 1 person is not even remotely enough to develop a full game like this one.Maybe a team of 10 devs in a couple of years could release a final product.A single developer will probably finish this game by the time we can go to Mars in real life with a 10000 euro ticket with Elon Musk.. I can sum this game up in one word. Boring. It's pretty apparent that the devs have no idea where they are going with this game. In some respects its interesting but that intrest dies within an hour of game play. I feel bad giving it a bad game reive but honestly, it isn't even a game yet.. Good job on Lacuna Passage and a Welcome to Candescent Games.I would like to see:1. A story about an older race of aliens or civilization.2. explore caves, mines, an abandoned alien outpost, or ruins on mars.3. visit damaged alien spacecraft.4. research alien technology, tools, or weapons.5. learn the location of of alien home planet6. use a communication beacon.thank you. I don't know what's special about this game but I enjoy Playing for hours and hours I guess it's the thought of Playing on actual Mars train It's hard for me to play any game for a long period of time and even more to come back to it but This game Makes me want to come back to play it more And I recommend it ( :. Hunting down way stations and other habitats can be entertaining, but you eventually realize that all there is to do once you have found everything is repairing the habitat equipment and craft items to repair the habitat equipment with. At least for the moment.Performance-wise there's nothing to complain about, but it's not going to run well on your toaster at max settings.I only encountered one game play bug, but that wasn't anything major.Cautious recommendation for the fact that there IS a potentially good game, but it's not quite there yet.. Awesome graphics, can't wait for the story mode to come out. This game is a good bit of fun. I am really impressed with the amount of content they have been adding throughout my time of having the game. I look forward to more additions but the game is so far shaping up to be a pretty unqiue take on the space survival games.. As the human dream of Mars exploration draws every closer to reality. Lacuna Passage draws on scientific satelite data to throw you into a realisitc representation and keeping yourself alive on the red planet we shall soon visit. Research Update - v0.64: This month I'm introducing the first of many new late-game goal mechanics. No longer will the survival mode be entirely based on survival time. You now have the optional side objective of completing mission research.Much of this update consists of background implementation that will allow me to expand on the research features down the road, but for this first iteration I have added rock sample collection as the first type of research.So how does it work? Collecting research is a critical goal for these manned missions to Mars. There will be many types of research samples to collect and then deposit in the storage sections of each habitat. You only have five slots for each type of research sample in your personal inventory, so make sure to deposit these samples in habitat storage regularly. Habitats also only have five slots for each type of research sample. Research samples in your inventory do not contribute to your progress, so between the three habitat locations that is a total of 15 possible samples that will be used to judge your overall research quality. Filling all 15 slots will certainly help, but the quality of each individual sample also greatly impacts the overall research quality.Rock sample research is collected with a pickaxe. Equip a pickaxe from your inventory and then use it to break off small samples from the terrain or other rock formations. Visible differences in the surface being sampled will result in a unique type of rock sample being collected and added to your inventory. You have five slots in your inventory to hold these samples. Your rock sample research quality is judged on three factors. Diversity of rock type, average distance between sampled locations, and average difference between sampled altitudes. Only the samples that have been deposited in habitat storage will be judged for research quality.Currently you can view your research quality by viewing the samples you have deposited in the habitat storage, but that progress does not yet apply to any meta rewards. In the next few updates I will be adding new Steam scoreboards and achievements for high research quality scores.Change Log. Research Achievements - v0.64.2: This month's update is focused on expanding the research mechanics of the game. You now have a new research bench inside each habitat that lets you track your research progress towards four new achievements. There are lots of other bug fixes as well. Check out the full change log below. Many of these fixes were suggested and tested by our helpful community on our official feedback forums[lacunapassage.userecho.com].Change Log. Balance and Comfort Update - v0.56: Today's update provides a number of user requested changes. The first of many such updates to come.Change Log. Development Update: Version 0.65 just went live to add a long requested feature. Mouse input for datapad screens. There are two ways to use the mouse controls. First, you can just hold down the datapad key (E by default) and the UI will switch to fullscreen with mouse input enabled as long as you have the datapad key held down. It will close the datapad when you release the key. The second way is to open the datapad normally by just tapping the datapad button instead of holding it. This will bring up the datapad like you are used to and then you can press R to switch between keyboard controls and mouse controls.Since the launch of Lacuna Passage on Steam Early Access I have put out 25 updates adding a wide variety of new features and improvements. Dust storms, rovers, scientific research, and more. This has all been done in an attempt to expand on the features that would support the eventual story mode. During this time, I have been the only full time employee working on Lacuna Passage.I love this game. It has been a cornerstone of my life for the last few years. Since I started on this project my wife and I have moved three times, adopted a puppy, said goodbye to that puppy due to terminal health issues, said goodbye to two grandparents taken by cancer, had our first child, adopted another healthy puppy, and bought our first house. I can link back all of these events, happy and sad, to what stage of development the game was in at the time. They are inextricably linked in my memory.When I started on this game I didn’t even know how to program. I’ve taught myself more and more over the course of development. And in that time, the indie game landscape has shifted substantially. The floodgates for selling on Steam burst open and everyone is on an even playing field. Unfortunately, that means my inexperience and lack of resources makes it extremely difficult to remain competitive enough to support continued development. The game is taking longer than I ever could have imagined it would take, and it isn’t selling near well enough for me to assist in supporting my family. No one wants this game to be finished more than I do, but at the end of 2018 I had to ask myself some hard questions. Would I continue to string along development while asking my family to make more sacrifices for me? Or was it time to move on?I’m sure you can tell where this is going. Development of the story mode is now on indefinite hold. It’s unlikely that any major new feature additions will be worked on either. At the beginning of January I accepted a position as a Junior Programmer for a software development company. A moment that was more bitter than sweet for me and my family. I had to give up my dream of finishing this game, but I also wouldn’t have gotten the job without the experience I gained while making it. Now I have a more stable and secure source of income and my money-related stress and anxiety have greatly decreased.Despite this new path ahead of me, I’m still devastated. I feel like I’m killing something that never got a real chance to live. And it’s my fault. I was naive, inexperienced, overzealous, and short-sighted. I want to apologize to everyone who is disappointed by this news. Especially to you, my original Kickstarter backers, who put their trust in me to deliver on the concept of a story-based Mars survival game, but also to everyone who has helped me along the way by providing feedback and suggestions that have dramatically improved the game from where it started. I literally would not be where I am today without you. I’m truly humbled.So what happens now? Lacuna Passage will remain in the Steam Early Access program indefinitely. It’s true that I could make a dishonest cash grab by calling the game “finished” and take advantage of the “Version 1.0” launch window visibility on Steam. But I’m not going to do that. I have removed all references to the story mode from the store page and the game itself. I have clarified that development has halted in the description text on the store page, but it will remain available at its current price for those that understand what the game is and are still interested in playing. I will also be shutting down the official feedback forums. They incur a cost every month and from now on I will use the official Steam forums for bug reports. If serious bugs are found I will do my best to address them, but beyond that I can’t make any promises.I’m not going to let this experience stop me from making games in the future. But from now on it will be much smaller hobbyist projects. Games like Lacuna Passage are just too big for someone like me to tackle. I’m sad that I didn’t reach my planned destination, but I don’t regret the journey it took me on. I hope that you have gotten something out of your investment in Lacuna Passage and in me.Thank you,Tyler OwenRandom Seed Games. Driveable Rovers Update - v0.62: Driveable rovers are finally here!There will be at least one rover guaranteed to spawn in every playthrough. There are two possible areas towards the center of the map where they may spawn randomly, but if you can't find any there you can be sure to find one parked at the third habitat. If you haven't played much before, the third habitat is also randomized, so happy hunting!If you choose to continue a saved game keep in mind that you may run into errors, but if you have already discovered a rover previously, then you should be able to return to it and it will now be operable. I would still recommend starting a fresh save however.Here are all the major additions that have made it into this update:Change Log. UI Update Beta: I was intending for this update to go live to everyone before Christmas, but I ran into some last minute bugs that I didn't have time to fix before I travel. Instead of leaving you all empty handed during the holidays, I figured I would put it out on the public beta branch. To enable it, right click on the game in your library and select Properties. Then go to the Betas tab and select the public beta.This is the preview for 0.65. It contains probably the most requested feature since the game launched. Mouse controls for the datapad. There are two ways to use the mouse controls. First, you can just hold down the datapad key (E by default) and the UI will switch to fullscreen with mouse input enabled as long as you have the datapad key held down. It will close the datapad when you release the key. The second way is to open the datapad normally by just tapping the datapad button instead of holding it. This will bring up the datapad like you are used to and then you can press R to switch between keyboard controls and mouse controls.Now, the reason this is only a beta and not a general release is because there are still some control conflicts. Sometimes you won't be able to move after closing the datapad or it may get stuck between mouse or keyboard inputs. As far as I can tell these issues can usually be resolved by cycling the datapad button or the escape key, or a combination of the two. Obviously I will be working to resolve these issues before general release, but I wanted players to be able to mess around with the new controls over the holidays.This seemingly small update took a very long time to implement. The entire game's UI was built specifically for keyboard exclusive input and so every UI screen had to be partially rebuilt on the back-end to enable mouse input. Yes, I probably should have worked on it this way from the beginning, but eventually the conflicts will be worked out and you can control the game in almost any way you wish when combined with the already existing key remapping and controller support.There are a few other small fixes in this update that I will outline in a full changelog after the general release. Please let me know what you think!. Lacuna Passage Lives: A couple months ago I had to make a very difficult announcement. Lacuna Passage was being put on ice. That decision was not made lightly and I kept looking for a solution that might allow the game to live on. Well, I’m happy to share that Lacuna Passage has found a new home. Effective immediately, Candescent Games is taking over development.I’ve been communicating closely with Vilas Tewari and the team at Candescent Games in Burbank, California and the future looks bright for Lacuna Passage. This game has been very important to me and I wouldn’t trust it to just anyone. They have demonstrated a great understanding of the themes and design, and they have really impressed me with their ideas on how to improve upon that foundation.I know the team at Candescent Games is excited to get their boots on Mars, but the important thing for me was that they were willing to let the current version of the game continue to exist as a separate archive branch on Steam - a snapshot of what Random Seed Games created. It should be fun to watch the game grow and become what I always hoped it could be. My work here is mostly finished, but I am looking forward to keeping in contact with the new team as they shape their own Martian future.For my Kickstarter backers, the current version of the game is where I will be adding the remaining digital rewards and those changes will remain on the archive branch on Steam. Those changes may or may not carry over into later releases. I will also still be managing the remaining physical rewards so if you have any questions about those please direct them to contact@randomseedgames.com.I hope you will welcome Candescent Games as the new stewards of Lacuna Passage. Please be patient with them as they work to get all life support modules operational. Your mission is not over.Sincerely,Tyler OwenRandom Seed Games------------------Dear players,It’s my pleasure to announce that we - Candescent Games - will be carrying on development for Lacuna Passage. Tyler and his team at Random Seed Games have done a great job designing an absorbing Mars survival experience. On playing the early-access version I was struck by the promise of the gameplay mechanics, and the haunting beauty of the martian surface. My team and I are excited to fully realize this concept.Candescent Games is an indie studio based in California. Our previous indie title, Tinertia, was launched on Steam and PlayStation4. We’re looking to bring the same level of innovation and polish to Lacuna Passage. Tyler will be in the loop throughout the development process. We want to make sure the game stays true to the core vision.As Tyler mentioned, we will preserve the current version created by Random Seed Games and give players access to it on a Steam branch. Before we begin our task of building out the game, the team and I will spend 3-4 weeks planning the best path forward. While we have lots of ideas, we’re not going to make promises at this point. Instead we’d like to hear from you. Tell us about your likes and dislikes, favorite mechanics, issues, and what you’d like to see.Mars is the next great frontier for mankind. We’d like Lacuna Passage to confidently place you on the harsh planet, and immerse you in the challenges that Martian astronauts would endure.Sincerely,Vilas TewariCandescent Games, Inc.
