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.
Originally posted by flux.faraday: It will be fun to see how it evolves. I know I prefer a pause button on all single player games (it's usually not healthy for me to ignore my household :) ) and I'd prefer the pause to delay the session timer as well. That still allows the lore to work, time just isn't passing while the game is off.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!
Originally posted by Bee: Would you be able to purchase more "time" in the form of extra gas with more handfuls of exotics?No, the session timers are set to tick down and run out :) that seems like an interesting idea, though.

We know going outside of the particular area has some humans freak out so I'm assuming the majority of them have never ventured to far out. We have forest/snow/desert biome are these done by humans?
I hope they do a lore documentary every major release (the doc was quite good) so it's like an on going thing with players discovering lore then we get the videos of new discoveries.
Also it seems you have the option to go back to earth if you get exotics? since you can become a billionaire (why would the human want to keep risking their life)
curious who is writing the lore of icarus and how everything works, breaths, lives...so it all makes more sense.

I am honestly perfectly fine with it. I saw the writing on the wall over the past month and a half whenever monetization came up and it was kinda just put out as "not sure yet." So I had already prepared myself to pay.
Now I was pleasantly surprised at the $30 price tag. I was expecting $40 at the least. I have spent more on games that I knew less about and a similar amount on games that had way less to them than Icarus.
It did hurt a bit dropping $100 but I saw it more of a supporter pack rather than a deluxe edition. So rather than trying to break down how much each thing in the deluxe edition was costing I just saw it as a chance to show my trust in the team and recognize all their hard work. Even after the sale was added I didn't refund and repurchase because of my mindset of wanting to support the team as much as possible.
I'm sorry that the Deluxe Edition hurt, and we're grateful for your feedback on this.
Thanks for placing your trust in us to deliver Icarus as a fun and evolving game to play.

Hey SlashSun!
It definitely made more financial sense for us given our situation, too. There were a few variables at play.
In regards to the XP Booster, it is for a limited time only and will not be able to be purchased in game. We're incentivizing players to pre-order with this as an added benefit.
I'll see you in-game when you change your mind.
Haha that's the spirit!
Personally I'd of been fine with xp boosts or a season pass formula been sold, i removed icarus from my wishlist now... It looked ok for a free game but looks a bit meh to say it would be a paid game. I may still buy it when i see some people playing but as of what's available to view now and what I've read about the game I'm not so sure.
You're totally entitled to your own thoughts and opinion on this! But we love our community and listen to them. I'm on guard to help ensure we don't do any wrong by them, too.
I hope you get to see more Icarus gameplay and change your mind! We'd love to have you in our community.
