The Planetary Tech Tree

Post


What is the Planetary Tech Tree?
When you first land on Icarus as a poor prospector you bring nothing with you. As you start gathering stones, sticks and flora with your bare hands, mine rocks using your newly crafted pickaxe, chop down trees and collect wood with your stone axe, you’ll earn experience points (XP), level up and earn points to unlock items to craft in the Planetary Tech Tree.

The items you choose will help you customize your own play style and increase your chances of staying alive longer!

The first two tiers of Icarus’ planetary tech tree have over 150 items for you to unlock and craft.

Tier One
Tier One provides the foundational tools to survive as a prospector. These items are fast to craft, use easily found resources and set you up with the basics to survive on Icarus.

Microtransactions?

Comment

Hello!
We are self publishing.
Microtransactions were among our concerns of Icarus being a F2P title. Monetizing a free game can be very tricky to get right, not to mention the amount of resources it takes from the dev team to constantly add new content and items.
This is just one of the many reasons we are glad that we became a premium purchase, so we can keep developing on Icarus' core gameplay experience and build upon that through our DLC's.

Dlc so soon?!

Hey all,

We aren't looking at our DLC's as a "paywall" but are adding them to compliment our base game. We want your journey to evolve over time, and keep you engaged and interested! :)

Thanks Smash!

Will new players enjoy a short drop and or a long session? As we stress test Icarus we’ve learnt a lot about what players prefer.

In Episode 9 we look at character progression in our meta-game and our character talent trees.

Lorii talks about our passionate community and how being transparent and honest can be tricky to navigate.

Looking at Icarus differently.

Comment

The Talent tree and Tech tree are coming along really nice. We're excited to cover this (in due time!!). The game is much more intricate than what has been shown presently.

Why the time limit, in universe.

You do have a fair argument! However, sometimes we can't have exactly what we want in the video games we play. I'm hoping that once you get your hands on the game that you'll be able to see how flexible and non-restricting the session timers can be!

No, the session timers are set to tick down and run out :) that seems like an interesting idea, though.
