Space Salvage Blog #2 : EGX London

Hello Space Salvage Cadets! We are back from EGX London and we are so happy with the attention and feedback! We have met so many lovely people and we just want to recap everything that happened in EGX.

Demo

EGX was quite an experience for us and we were overwhelmed by the amount of people who wanted to try it out! We had so many wonderful people that were polite and gave us amazing feedback.

Our demo consisted of the player learning the controls from the AI assistant that is provided by Space Salvage Corporation (SSC). She may be a little snarky but its the best AI SSC can afford for you
The general idea of the demo is that the players must manoeuvre through giant asteroids and debris to find salvageable crates. Once you’ve collected enough you may even find an enemy also wanting the crates you found, shoot him down before he shoots you! But let us stop talking about it and let us show you instead! SSC has kindly recorded a bit of gameplay footage and is willing to share it with you all!

Special Mentions

We have some notable people we want to mention and thank!

Our demo was often compared to “No Man’s Sky” and we are thrilled to be able to be on that level. We had streamers, influencers and press come to our booth and we hope you had a great time trying out the demo. We even had a few colleges/universities come over, teachers having a blast when trying the demo and all sorts. The comments provided by everyone who carried out the questionnaire and verbally were helpful and insightful.

Below are some of the photos we took during the event:

SSC would like to showcase some positive tweets created by all of the potential slaves Cadets who tried out our demo:

We would also like to thank EGX for holding the event, placing us in a great spot for everyone to notice us and the lovely staff. Some of them even tried out our demo at the end of the day and they enjoyed it!

Feedback

The feedback received was overwhelmingly positive. Reading through the questionnaires has given us some great ideas and mechanics. Some feedback include, moving UI in a better location for people to see, multiplayer, better combat mechanics and so much more. We are so thankful to you all for the feedback and will be reading through every single one to help improve our game and to show you all in the next event!

What’s to come!

That wraps up EGX and again, thank you everyone for your feedback and comments. We will be adding new features and polishing current ones, creating new environments and adding so much more. We can’t wait to show you all in our next dev blog.

Space Salvage Blog #1 : Venture – Salvage – Upgrade

Hello to all Space Salvage Cadets. Welcome to our first blog update.

With EGX coming right around the corner, we figured everyone would like to know what they are getting into, who their Overlords most trusted employers are and what does Space Salvage entail.

Venture: Vast Environments

Space Salvage provides you with a once in a lifetime experience. Work under the almighty Space Salvage Corporation(SSC). They have given you the chance to venture through vast environments filled with salvageable goodies accompanied by danger. With your pod, fly through asteroids, dodge meteor storms and blow stuff up!

We have multiple environments for you to explore all with a different scenario and story; so you can never be bored when flying out and starting your day at work. It is also under SSC rule to not be bored or deductions to your salary will be made.

Due to SSC feeling generous, we are able to provide you with some screenshots of the type of environments you are going to explore.

Salvage: Collect Useful Cargo

As a Space Salvage Corporation Cadet, you are expected to fly through dangerous territories while picking up anything that could be useful. Containers are scattered around and you need to grab them with your tractor beam. This highly expensive technology has been kindly provided for your pod by Space Salvage Corporation (SSC).

Each container you find will have a different price value; some will provide you nothing, others will give you the big bucks. However, those are most likely guarded by mines or some other sort of danger. Luckily for you, SSC has also provided your pod with a deluxe C Beam Defense Lazer, which is conveniently programmed with your controller stick. Fire away at enemies, but be careful to not destroy any cargo as this will also be deducted from your salary.

Upgrade: Expand your Pod

As you carry on with your journey you’ll become more used to your surroundings, an expert at piloting your pod and know where all the good loot is. You’ll then want to explore more dangerous and deadly areas in which your pod can not survive. SSC is kind enough to provide you a store that will give you the chance to upgrade your pod; whether this be increased health, a bigger fuel tank or adding new features such as a shield. However, nothing is free and everything is overpriced so salvage as much as you can.

What’s to come

We hope this has given you a better insight to what Space Salvage offers. We have some features to come, such as a Cadet Ranking System, Factions and more. We’re really looking forward to creating a unique space experience in the VR world and can’t wait to release it in 2022.

If you’re in London, we have a demo lined up at EGX on the 7th-10th October 2021. For more information be sure to sign up on our newsletter and follow us on our social media!
