End of one journey, beginning of another

Hello, everyone! This will be our final update about running the Kickstarter (many more about your rewards coming soon!), and the team is ecstatic about how things have gone - we can't wait to make this awesome game for you!


Last chance for Backer Challenge and Stretch Goals!

The Lava Zone stretch goal is still in reach with just $2,000 to go, and this is your last chance to make it happen by sharing, liking on Facebook, retweeting, or upping your pledge. With the efforts of fans, Boats and Vehicles, Xbox and Platystation support and Robo-Animal Customization are now guaranteed to be in the game. 

Additionally, the backer hat, backer exclusive furniture, backer hair style, backer-exclusive pet, and character short stories collection have been unlocked as backer rewards! Yep, you get all those goodies!

One day left - lets go out with a bang!


Thank you

We've been stunned by the amount of support we've gotten over the course of this Kickstarter – so many new fans encouraging us on and looking forward to what's been our dream to make. The community has grown, amazing ideas have been thrown at us (we take notes), and we haven't even heard from most backers yet about the new pets they want us to make, hairstyles, furniture and crops to create, and NPCs and RNPCs that they want to come to life. This game will truly be a community effort, and nothing could be more appropriate for One Lonely Outpost.

See you on the other side – Tuesday, September 29th at 1pm PST is the end of the Kickstarter!

Robo Animal Customization + Live Animal Breeding UNLOCKED! New stretch goal revealed!
about 4 years ago – Tue, Sep 29, 2020 at 06:37:03 AM

Customize your robotic farm animals!

Robo cows, pigs, chickens, and more will all be customizable! You'll be able to tweak their paint job, but that's not all! Swap out modular parts, some with different visual elements, to make the robo animals fit your play style. Want to collect their products less often? Upgrade their storage! Tired of them nibbling on your crops when they get through the fences? Give them an AI chip that makes them a little smarter! 

What if I take the Natural farm path?

While robotic farm animals are only available on the Synthetic path of the game, you'll also get some extra bits on the Naturalistic path thanks to this stretch goal too! We'll be creating a breeding system for your live farm animals! We always intended to allow them to reproduce, but now there will be heritable traits!

New Stretch goal revealed - Adv. Home Customization!

The lava zone stretch goal is looking to be very likely too, so we added another stretch goal, just in case!  It's ADVANCED HOUSE CUSTOMIZATION! Customize the exterior of your home with paints and some other modular customizations! If we meet this goal, we will be adding extra ways to make your home in the game your very own!

If things really pick up again, we'll add more stretch goals still! The possibilities in One Lonely Outpost are almost limitless!

Quick shout-out to another cool Kickstarter

I wanted to share this other Kickstarter for an absolutely adorable graphic novel about a robot who wanders his world trying to find and raise dragon eggs to bring the dragons back to the world. He's described it as "Land Before Time meets Wall-E." It's beautiful, vibrant, and as wholesome as it gets. I know it's not a video game, but it's just too cool not to share!

Only 5 days left for them too, so check it out!

FIRST STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED! Vehicles will be added to the game!
about 4 years ago – Thu, Sep 24, 2020 at 10:41:35 AM

VEHICLES UNLOCKED!!!

We've met our first stretch goal unlocking VEHICLES and are well on the way to our second!  

We'll add various cool new ways to explore and move about the world of One Lonely Outpost. Explore on a boat or cyberbike, plus we're going to add TRACTORS! And not just any tractors, but HOVER tractors, which will double as crop dusters if you take the Synthetic path!

Up next is XBox and Playstation console support! If we make the next stretch goal, you'll be able to select XBox or Playstation as your platform of choice when selecting your platform for rewards!

Backer Challenge Update

We've also unlocked another point on the Backer Challenge for 300 twitter shares - just one more point till the Backer Exclusive Pet is unlocked. Keep up the sharing and we'll smash not just another stretch goal or two, but unlock even MORE backer-exclusive content too!

With the days ticking down, expect more frequent updates as things heat up!

100% FUNDED!!! WE DID IT!!!

WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN!!!

We can't thank all of you, our backers, enough! This allows the whole team to launch their dream to create One Lonely Outpost without any doubts as to it's completion, and the best part is that we did it with over 1200 ardent fans who have given not only financially, but also by helping us spread the word to others. You made this goal happen! Truly, this is a celebration for EVERYONE! 

We know that the goal was high for a Kickstarter - that's because we didn't want to take your money unless we had enough to 100% ensure that we could deliver on our promise of what this game will be like. We're already gearing up to get some of the early rewards going as soon as the campaign finishes, such as the discord roles, the thank you letters, and the immediate alpha access to relevant tiers! 

Have some awesome concepts we're working on for helper robots and friendly alien critters in celebration! You'll get to see some of them in the game by the time early access launches!

BACKER GOALS GET!

As if that wasn't good enough news, three more BACKER CHALLENGE goals have been met, unlocking two new rewards: 

  • The Backer Gauntlet, which you will optionally receive when you start a new game, has a unique skin, and takes 10% less energy to perform actions in game!
  • A new hair style to customize your character even further!

Next up is a Backer-Exclusive pet! Lets keep getting the word out there for even more awesome backer rewards!

Lets crush those Backer Challenges, and stretch goals too! The end is near for all of your work and help - but our work will continue on for years to come working every day to deliver you the amazing game we now KNOW that we can!

Bonus: More tracks added to the Soundcloud!

Now you can check out 5 songs for One Lonely Outpost by our brilliant composers, right now, for free!

7 DAYS LEFT!

As of now, there is just 7 days left! The Kickstarter ends next Thursday at 2pm PST! One Lonely Outpost is 80% funded! But we have 20% to go, and for that we need your help - share the Kickstarter page with your friends, post on social media, maybe upgrade your pledge if you can! We can crush this - and maybe even hit a couple of stretch goals! 

Meanwhile, we've continued to be busy! Check out the little frogcat, an alien species that you may just find hopping on your farm ...

I think I'll call mine 'Kibbit!'

It's details like this that have us really excited to be able to work on the game full throttle the way that this Kickstarter will allow us to do. You can be involved in this process too - the reward tiers for creating alien plants, robots, animals, hair styles and clothing styles have all been reduced in price, so check them out! We'd love to work with more of you with your fantastic, creative ideas for content in this game!

And don't forget to save Qwerty, your little robot companion who breaks down, and needs you to find a community to repair ...

#SaveQwerty! 

Join us on any of the above to get involved, get some thanks for backing, and to help us share with everyone so that we can make this game as awesome as we know it can be!
