Icarus Dev Tracker

Originally posted by Lester: I searched but couldn't find much about eating and drinking, disease, poisoning, hypo/hyperthermia or medical systems

So how in-depth is this essential part of survival?

What effects will lack of nutrition/hydration have on the character or character skills?

Will meat need to be cooked?
Will water need to be purified?
Will injuries need to be treated with more detail then simply using a "medi-pack?"

Any insight as to how deep survival goes would be much appreciated.

We have a lot of Steam Posts on the way, yet to be written, including Buffs, Debuffs, Elemental effects and what have you!

We are an independent studio and have a small team. Currently we can only pump out maybe 2 Steam posts a week with the current workload.

Thanks for understanding :)

Or is it just when the beta will get patched

You will only be able to play Icarus during our Beta Weekends. We have a steam post coming shortly, explaining in more detail :)

We're organising for this to be extended 7 days beyond our launch date as promised. However, it seems our contacts at Steam/Valve are OOO so there might be a slight period of the sale not being there before it's implemented again.

Originally posted by luisito10: I have a question before buying the game, you can only play with friends, people that you invite or you can join to play in games with strangers looking for something that is missing A member, thank you. ps: I have friends on steam but they don't like this type of game that's why I would have a limit when it comes to playing

Hi there!

You can always play by yourself, Icarus is designed to be enjoyed playing solo OR with a group of friends :)

While it's true that business practices these days in gaming can leave a lot to be desired, I've been really impressed with how transparent and interactive the community has been, both in leadership and with peers! Many questions and concerns can be directly addressed there. While only time can tell ultimately what happens, it's worth a shot! :k8happy:

Thank you very much for your feedback!

DLC mentions before we can even play it

Yeah, I've seen all this before. Game looks great, but thats ANOTHER red flag. Smoke and Mirrors...

Hi there,

Our next Steam Post is coming soon which will describe the information you are after :)

Originally posted by Airaneon: Honestly these news bummed me out. I was looking forward to playing the game for quite some time, but since my GPU is only a GTX 1050Ti that's not gonna happen.

Have you pre-ordered the game? See how it runs on our first beta weekend and let us know!

Originally posted by baddoggs: Nice, thank you for the information.

You're welcome!

Originally posted by -shhfiftyfive: what most could get behind is if the base game were to cost more than the up front $30 right now ($40-60), and in doing so, guarantee updates to be free.

but that is not the route this game is taking. so be it. we'll wash our hands of it then. there's so many other games to play that are not charging for every bit of content.

Hi there,

Icarus' base game will have free content updates. We do not want players to miss out on the core experience that Icarus, the base game, offers.

Yes we are charging for our DLC's (so far there are just two). This will help us continue to develop Icarus into the foreseeable future. DLC's generally come at a cost. Keep in mind that yes we... Read more

Will I be able to enjoy Icarus on my machine?
Below is a guide on our Minimum and Recommended Specs, and how Icarus may run on your machine should you meet these.

Minimum Specs:
These are the lowest specs in which you will be able to enjoy Icarus without too much compromise on quality.

Currently:
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit versions)
Processor: Intel i5 8400
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 70 GB available space

Our minimum specs are player-focused, granting the ability to run Icarus on low to mid end graphics settings. We acknowledge that many folks are still running GTX 1060 cards and so we have ensured Icarus will play on these GPUs to the best of its ability. Anything below these specs, we unfortunately cannot attest for.

Recommended Specs:

We're adding this into our updated FAQ which will drop this week :)
