    I NEED Pandemic in Space! 🌟

    Hello Star Travelers!  First of all - Eid Mubarak for all my Muslim friends reading this! Wishing you a joyous Hari Raya celebration with family & friends 🙏🏻 We’re back with the 2nd Devlog of the year, this time I’m sharing some new info about the game content - a first look into one of the core exploration mechanics; Planet Rekindling, the universe lore & the freshly designed Antagonists of the game! Hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did making them! https://youtu.be/gHkLDKadOdk As mentioned in the video - the idea for I NEED SPACE sprouted when we had to isolate ourselves during the recent global pandemic, the experience from that event inspired the question - "what if the pandemic happens on a universal scale?" You know, as much as the Pandemic hurts at the time - I was actually grateful too, because I got to spend a lot more time with my loved ones and especially my 2 boys Poki & Soba, who are the main inspirations for Nebula in the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43770387/71e3fac1ecfe54ea8bbb1c3de75f866036bc2219.png They both have really bushy curly tails irl! Puzzles like the one where you have to set a blockage in the Moon was a direct experience of me trying to outsmart my boys as I’m trying bathe them on a Sunday afternoon 😅 It’s little things like that - but perhaps pet parents can somewhat relate ~ The game takes place in the Solfège Galaxy, a star system that has been swept by a mysterious pandemic. Everything was engulfed in a destructive Haze that rendered most O2 producing flora to be extinct, and mass population desperate to survive. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43770387/7381dcca2a3a32b95ac410f2454323cac37d2453.png The game universe is made up of 7 playable Sectors, each with its own biomes, hazards, flora, fauna, unique gameplay mechanics, bosses & most importantly - themes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43770387/2123865f26ad3ee916b7eced96726c61b2bd4d6e.png Though I will not be going much into the themes of each Sector at this time - I just want to emphasize that these ...

    I NEED Updates! 🌟

    Hello Star Travelers!  It’s been a while since I have shared an update from this project - the team and I had been busy crafting this game away, and day by day this little space adventure appears to be taking shape nicely thanks to all your feedbacks from our conceptual & mechanical playtesting throughout 2023. Stay tuned for a bunch of exciting updates to come - but today let me start with the first devlog of 2024 by sharing some gameplay highlights from the public demo. Hope you like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg5RGmakckc The protagonist (Player) and the Cosmic Cat companion (Nebula) find themselves in the same boat spaceship reluctantly forced into an adventure together at the beginning of the story, tackling the subjects of existentialism, nature vs technology, morality - all presented in fragments of encounters that when put together - paints a wholesome picture! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43770387/1fc57af837ea9ee45ca3dcb2e07cbc11fdf7cd1c.png At heart we hope to convey the emotional depth of relationships that one can nurture, and may also lose, while navigating a seemingly bleak, doomed universe. If you like what you see - please support the project by wishlisting the game on Steam, and tune in to our social media for frequent updates on new gameplay clips! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2337180/I_NEED_SPACE/ - Website | www.khayalanarts.com - Instagram | @i_need_space__game - X | @ineedspace_game - Discord | MEOWKY WAY https://discord.gg/jUTgJVnzt6 - YouTube | Khayalan Arts https://www.youtube.com/@khayalanarts2854 - Presskit | https://bit.ly/ineedspacedeck Laters!
