normally i play on my own as a lone wolf ... but i think this is not for Lone Wolfs ? its more for -Party-Guys/Girls ?

or is here permanent ingame-voice-chat so i can easily join a party?
Hi Dinomania (cool name btw)

You can absolutely play alone! It may be more punishing, but there are also many positives playing solo, you get to do your own thing and concentrate on that!
Playing with a team is super fun, you can get tasks done together more efficiently. It really depends on your play style!

As for the in-game voice chat, I asked our developers about this last week. It is currently not implemented and not a high priority for us right now.

Delayed to November

I wouldn't describe Dean as a low effort developer. He created DayZ which grabbed global attention for many good reasons, that's why so many people played it, and that's also why many got sad or mad when he parted ways w... Read more

What's in our Bi-Weekly Beta Weekends?

Post
UPDATE: Read the breakdown of our beta weekends HERE



Prospectors, we have an important update
We’ve made the decision to delay Icarus’ launch until November to ensure the game is the best it can be for our players, and we’re introducing a longer Beta which you can play from Friday 27 August at 5pm Pacific Daylight Time.

Our team is committed to providing the best experience for our players at launch. We’ve been keeping a close eye on the state of our development builds and have decided that we want to give Icarus more love by delaying the game, and improving upon our Beta process by spreading it across multiple weekends, with each having a specific focus. A plus side of this a... Read more

Is this game going to be DOA?

Comment

Hi there!

I wouldn't say Icarus is "unheard of" we have over 5000 Discord members and just under 400,000 wish lists on Steam!

We've also been mentioned in multiple gaming news articles too! Check out our latest article that just dropped today by IGN https://www.ign.com/ar...

This game will fail because devs don't give us any relevant information

Hi everyone,

We are listening and your concerns are reasonable. I have previously passed some of these shared insights to the appropriate people on our team.

This game will fail because devs don't give us any relevant information

I also feel like this game should be Early Access as each dev stream has shown tons of bugs or they are always playing on a buggy build, I don't quite understand what they are doing but I assume the project is going to be delayed there is no way they could risk a full launch title being absolutely devastated with negative reviews.
Thanks for continuing to give us good feedback!

Community Update #3 - Prepare for Landing

Post


Hello again, Prospectors!
Welcome back to another Community Update. It's been a great month as we continue to develop Icarus. Our private beta branch is up and running, we’ve had some guest streamers and journalists play it recently and we're busy making improvements around the clock.

We've reached over 5,000 members on our Discord! Our server is thriving and is a wonderful place to just hang out with friends, post memes, talk about our Twitch streams and YouTube videos. So here's to the next milestone of 10,000!

CREATOR SPOTLIGHT

The Weather Systems

Post


Greetings, Prospectors!
As we continue to cover many facets of Icarus’ systems and features, this week we are taking a closer look at the brooding weather that dictates your movement and strategy on the planet.

The core functionalities of Icarus' weather system
The weather cycles in Icarus boast both beautiful and frightening visuals across a single day. As your drop ship settles onto Icarus’ soil in the early hours of the morning, you can expect to cast your eyes on stunning clear skies and sunshine that touches the trees, lakes and mountain tops.

You are given ample time to forage for resources, craft early tier weapons and build shelter prior to your first storm encounter. There is no rhyme and reason for which storm you will experience first, meaning the more prepared you are, the better.

The Talent Tree

Post


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.



Resources
Do you like collecting materials? If so, unlocking the talents in this branch of the survival tree will ma... Read more

Suggestion: Optional EndGame Mission / Player interaction

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!

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
    loriipops on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
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?!

Comment

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! :)

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.
