A space farming sim set on a barren alien planet. Grow your farm and with it a community and a new life.
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
It was a seriously wild ride, but here we are, over 150% funded, ready to make an amazing game for you to play! We literally couldn't have done this without all of you, our backers. We're honestly in awe of how much the community came together to make this happen. We, the One Lonely Outpost team, put in plenty of our own sweat and tears, but it wouldn't have been enough without the sharing and networking our fans and backers did to support us through this.
In the end, we unlocked all of the original stretch goals, including Vehicles, XBox/Playstation support, Robo Animal customization & Live Animal breeding, even the Lava Region was unlocked!
For the Backer Challenge rewards, in total, we met the goals for: Exclusive Furniture, hair style, hat, Starting Gauntlet (your futuristic farming tool) which is 10% more energy efficient, an Exclusive pet, and a collection of short stories - one for EVERY character in the final game!
In addition, because we got SO close to another 3 challenges, I'll be sending out a 1-time alpha demo in the next few days!
We are going to be getting some things squared away for the rewards which can go out within the first week, including Discord roles & access, Alpha Access, and any/all 'Creator' tier ($220 and above) rolling right away.
The Wallpapers will go out over the course of development; our current plan is to release a few before Early Access, and another few by the time the game launches!
In 7 months, once we are gearing up for 'Earlier Access', we will send out a survey where you can choose which platform you want to choose!
The thank you letters will be sent out within 6 months is our current plan, so you should receive a survey regarding that if you packed at $120 or above as well.
A merchandise store will be available in the next 8 months as well, if all goes well, and those who pledged at $120 and above will be kept in the loop, getting first dibs, early access to it, and even a discount code to use on your favorite item!
We're getting right to work, so for those who will be following the development, expect to hear more from us soon!
The day before yesterday we hit our XBox and Playstation stretch goal, and we're nearly up to Robo Animal customization now! This means that when the game is released in 2 years, you will be able to play on your XBox Series X or Playstation 5 - and very possibly your XBox One and Playstation 4 as well! We need to confirm a few things before we can guarantee support for the current gen of consoles though - it's very possible they simply won't allow for new PS4/XBOne releases in 2 years! You can select any console available (now including PC/Mac/Linux, Nintendo Switch, XBox, and Playstation) in 12 months when Early Access hits - no need to make the decision now!
Robo Animal customization soon, Lava Region looks to be in reach - we'll get more goals posted very soon!
Brad, Project Lead here - It's quite a surprise, even for us, but Kickstarter approved our extension! Now we have 5 days to get MORE stretch goals, MORE Backer Challenges met, and make this game even better. We will be adding additional stretch goals too!
While our project already had passed its goal, we knew it could go further. Earlier on in the campaign, my wife had to be hospitalized for surgery complications. Due to COVID-19 related precautions and policies, her hospital stay, treatment, and recovery were set back by about 5 days, during which I was not able to spread the word or communicate effectively with backers and fans. I am happy to answer further questions about what happened and how, but would prefer to do so via messaging rather than a public post. She's home and doing much better now, but just yesterday the fans in our discord brought to my attention that Kickstarter has been allowing limited extensions for those impacted by the pandemic. We reached out, and they approved it!
No. Kickstarter is very clear about how much time they will extend a campaign by, and that it's a big exception to their normal policy of not changing the project's end date. We are so thankful to Kickstarter for giving us these 5 days back that were lost due to the knock-on effects of COVID-19. We can truly make One Lonely Outpost the best it can possibly be!
Thanks for joining us on this journey. From our space-loving family to yours - thank you for joining us, and being patient for just a few more days so we can make this game as amazing as possible!
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!
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!
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 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!
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!
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!
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!
