What is the Talent Tree?
With over 250 combined talents to choose from, Icarus' Talent Tree gives you the ability to reflect your unique play-style inside three primary archetypes: Survival, Construction and Hunting.

This time around we will cover Survival and Hunting, with Construction coming in its own separate post.

Survival Tree
The survival tree is designed for general character survival on the planet, storm detection and weathering, resource gathering and consumption, farming, and anything to do with a character’s basic needs.

Agreed on both counts!

To be honest, when we set out to make this game we didn't plan on self publishing. While that means that we don't have to split the proceeds with a publisher, it means we have to figure out all this stuff ourselves. So it's a learning process for us.

Even simple things l... Read more

I have mostly been playing singleplayer during our development. Occasionally with friends. Even then, many of us have been building our own buildings in little villages.

The game is heavily focused around coop or singleplayer gameplay.

We are even adding an entire "solo" talent tree, for those who want to specialize their character for playing alone.

Note:
1. Standard will receive 1 x Outpost accessible
2. Deluxe will receive and *additional* 2 x Outposts to choose from.

We don't want to gate *functionality* behind the deluxe edition.

We originally had thought to have it in the marketing for the differences, but it got very cluttered.

Also; I think we might change the wording of Deluxe edition to *supporters* edition. As we plan to provide lots more to it over time, and it was designed for our super-fans in discord and such in mind.

What if when you get far enough along, when you have a decent amount of cash etc, you could put down Insurance? Bounty? Escrow? and if you miss your drop ship, that money gets put up as a mission, and a group of players can accept the mission and try to find your unconscious body and "Rescue" you and return you to that station, and if they do they would get that payout?

Seems like a cool thing to do with cash and give other players some optional end game content and interaction...obviously the mission would be hard, and they run the risk of dying themselves...but would probably be fun and rewarding.
This is a clever idea, thanks for bringing it forward!
