Blow up strange new worlds in Away Team, a Spelunky-style base builder from the Oxygen Not Included devs

Klei Entertainment going large erstwhile again connected simulated physics

Invisible Inc and Don't Starve developers Klei Interactive person announced Away Team, a 2D base-building crippled from the aforesaid beingness arsenic Oxygen Not Included. I person yet to play Oxygen Not Included, but Klei seldom miss - their Mark Of The Ninja remains 1 of my favouritest ninja shankfests - and Away Team already seems precise appealing for putting a profoundly inhumane accent connected traitorous physics. Here beryllium trailer.

In offering a satellite successful which "every tile is simulated", Away Team is some daring comparisons with Noita and gathering connected the volatile foundations of Oxygen Not Included, which Nate (RPS successful peace) called "a instrumentality for procedurally generating engineering problems, and owed to the immense fig of carnal properties interacting successful the simulation, they volition ne'er beryllium the aforesaid twice".

In Away Team, you are a solitary Oxygen Not Included colonist, aka Duplicant, who has mistakenly pushed a large reddish fastener and rocketed disconnected to a unusual caller world. Equipped with a vacuum gun, you indispensable research the depths and trade your ain abode from each the materials you find. You volition request nutrient and oxygen. Also, a moving knowing of conductivity. And a precise cautious aim.

This is simply a realm successful which each portion of substance is taxable to the laws of thermodynamics. Liquids travel and evaporate. Fires spread, fixed entree to flammable materials. I don't retrieve things being so... temperamental successful Star Trek distant missions, but I would person happily watched a cardinal episodes of a amusement successful which Captain Picard spends 29 minutes gingerly carving retired acerb vats, past says "oh shit" conscionable earlier the credits roll.

Away Team has yet nary merchandise date, but it does person a Steam page.
