RymdResa Trailer Trailer is out! RymdResa - A New Home? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PHlU1AsMEw&feature=youtu.be
I'm really impressed with the update to the game so far. It's gone from a haunting, psuedo-philosophical experiment to a full-blown space odyssey. I loved it when it was a simple, lonely metaphorical journey through solitude and hopelessness but seeing it grow to a solid game in it's own right is rather amazing. I really appreciate that I can tell you love the game. The soul of the game is a piece of art and the actual gameplay is flourishing with the new features. I cannot wait to see how the game scene takes to this and also how it continues to evolve with further updates.
Thank you! Thank you so much for the puuure awesomeness that you're sending us! We are really flattered. You're inspiring us!!
Greenlight-thing, new web-site, new trailer and new communication-system Hello!! It's going well with the iPad-beta! We wanted to inform you something really exciting (Greenlight-thingy, greenlight-thiingy)! RymdResa is now on Steam Greenlight! The Pc-version is in alpha right now. You can Vote for us here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=214106532&searchtext=RymdResa In addition to that we also have released a new website for RymdResa!! RymdResa got a new home!! You can visit the new home here: http://rymdresa.com// And here is a new trailer you can watch as well (RymdResa - Features): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPEqkAmm_Go#t=1 New site: We are making some changes to the message system in RymdResa! The old message system was built around sharing player-messeges in the RymdResa space. Messages that other player could see if they were at the same coordinates as the person who sent the message. But we also wanted to share these space-messages on twitter. There were several problems with this approach. First of it broke the emersion. RymdResa is a lonely experience and we want to keep it that way. Sending all player-messages to twitter didn't really workout either. During a test we sent all the messages to a unified Twitter account, but it would be much better if we could share them directly to the players own twitter feeds, but then we would need to build authentication/login and handle all that on or server. Previous flow was: user send msg -> server - other players screen/ twitter-> homepage. Players could choose to send a message into space. This message was shown on the screen of those players that were on the same coordinates as the player who sent it. The message also displayed how long the player who sent it had survived and what ship they had. New flow is: user send msg -> server - > other players -> create message pod ingame user dies - server -other players -> create dead ship. Players can choose to drop a message pod at their current position, this will cost some spacepoints. If another player finds a message pod they can get some spacepoints and read the message. When a player dies in space, a dead ship will be left in that position. Other players can go there and see how long the player survived and have a small chance to find an item. The new message system takes more consideration of making message a part of the game universe, integrating them directly into the game. Tweets are fun but didn't really serve any value to the gameplay. Adding dead players helps creating more depth to the universe of RymdResa. You can of course turn of this feature in the game options and choose to play offline. This message system will be developed for the iPad, PC, Mac and Linux versions of the game. //Vendela and Kim at Morgondag

Congratulations on the Greenlight page, voted "yes" and then checked the comments and they're pretty amazing! Glad that other people are sharing my excitement about the game! I'm still finding so much to do in this current build; unlocking new ships and levelling my home planet are fantastic long term goals but nothing quite beats finding a new bit of equipment! I know I've said it before but I was in love with the game before the second chapter, but now it's been expanded into such a fully featured space odyssey that it will never leave my device. Cannot wait to see what the third chapter will bring, I'm intrigued with the mention of wonders and myths! I'm feeling rather redundant with this beta test, there's not really much I can suggest to edit, especially as any criticisms I had were blown away by the latest update. I have no idea how a team so small could put out a product so beautiful, I can't wait to buy it!

100000 items in space! An in-depth explanation to the item system in RymdResa. General Every ship has six base item slots ( and two unlock-able slots). These can equipped with items you find in the game. Some of these items will require a certain ship others a free to use on any ship. Items affect your ships statistics like: percentage to find items, quest bonus, speed increase, visual effect and shop styles. Some items have special properties that can affect your ship even further. Quality Every item has a quality level that range from useless to legendary. Finding an item with higher rank yield more and higher statistics bonus some only available at high level. Higher ranked items have better visual style ranging from only two colours to six colours items. Every item type have around nine to twenty icon styles per rank. With over 500 total icons in game. Item types Engine Have the highest potential of increasing your speed more than any other item types. Style Change your ships visual style and layout. Follower Change the visual style and layout of your following arrow. Aura Generates an aura around your ship.The color is randomly generated for every aura. The brightness of the aura is based on the item quality, better items emit stronger colors. Custom x2 Custom items have a good overall stats increase, often they are without ship requirements. These are the most common item found in RymdResa, but finding a good one can be hard. Shield Unlockable in chapter 2. Shields protect your ship from harmful impacts. Taking a direct hit in space lowers the shield but you won't lose any valuable resources. The shield recharge rate vary from item to item. The color of the shield works just like the aura. Better item quality means more shield power and faster recharge rate. Be aware thought some hazards might break through your shield! Orb Unlockable in chapter 3. Orbs rotate around your ship often increasing stats like item finding and resources. Orbs live a life off its own and reacts when you take damage or find something good. Each item has a random chance to increase different type of statistics off your ship like acceleration, resources, quest bonuses. Legendary items can have special properties changing the fundamentals of an item. Finding an legendary item is extremely rare. Finding items All items can be found from exploring, quests, special objects, shops, crafting, directly found floating in space and from using special items. Some items might even be guarded by rock formations or worse!Certain dangerous zones have a higher chance of spawning better items. Consumable items Apart from equippable items in RymdResa there is consumable items. These items can only be used once after that you need to find another one, but you can carry a big amount of each. You have 4 active consumable slots on your ship these items can then be used in space. Most of them are made to help you on your journey others might even be used as currency. A special consumable item used for fast travelling home in chapter two and three. Have a small chance of overheating and warping you someplace else! Crafting RymdResa has a minimal crafting system that revolves around throwing items away. Once your inventory fills up you can't pickup more items. But you can destroy them and in return get some "scrap-points". How many points you get per item varies depending on the quality, rareness and statistics of the item. When you reach 1000 scrap-points you a crafted item is created. The crafted item can be any type of item. These crafted items have a the potential to be almost as good as legendary items. Often better then unique items, they also have the same chance of a mysterious stats like legendary items have. These items cannot be found in space. May the luck be with you! Here are some examples of items and their effect on your ship: A rare style that change your ship appearance, and increase various stats, nice! A crafted brown aura with a good amount of extra resources as bonus. A really good Legendary follower. A rare green shield with high recharge rate but quite low shield power. A legendary style! This item have the mysterious stat "Black Widow" turning your ship into a special style and some huge set stat bonuses. Items fill an important role in RymdResa especially if you want to travel longer distances without dying. Happy hunting!
sorry guys, we've closed the beta for the moment, but if we need any more testers we will absolutely contact you! Your excitement warms our hearts, you know! <33
