About game

Hi.

This is Sun Dogs team.

We are really sorry to announce it, but project development is closed and there will be no further updates.

We tried to make it a good and complex game, but we are not able to finish its development. We really underestimated amount of efforts required to make a game of such scale, and we overestimated possible profits too.

We really wished to make a game of our dreams, an open-world space adventure with great storyline, but we failed.

Our game is an open-source project, so if anyone ever wants to check its source - grab it at https://bitbucket.org/e_smirnov/aurora/

Thank you all for playing our game.

Status update

Well, it seems like our game is still interesting to someone besides our russian fans. We are both surprised and pleased.

We did not write anything here for about a year, so here is a status update:

Development is still going, but going very slow as our main developers (programmer and artist) no longer can spare much time to their hobbies like gamedev. We are now working on the 2nd part of main plot, that will uncover secrets of Obliterator and lost Aurora-1 ship. However we could use some help.

Did you know that AuroraRL is actually an open-source game? Check our repo at https://bitbucket.org/e_smirnov/aurora/overview If you are willing to help our project and are either a Java developer or an artist then please write us at aurorateam@auroraroguelike.com. We would appreciate some help in exchage for a share of game income (thats not much though, about 50$/month per team member).

We understand that alot of you might be dissapointed that it has taken us too long. But we still working to finish the game and we hope that it will be as we originally imagined it.

Sincerally,
Sun Dogs team

Plans for the next story update

Version 0.5.5

It’s been a long time since last update, as there is little free time left for game development for our team. Still we finally did this 0.5.5 update which is now available on Steam.

What’s new:

  • New officers portraits with emotions. Gordon will no longer have a calm poker-face when reporting about a black hole that tears ship apart.
  • Updated Steam API version. Hopefully will fix some issues with game startup.
  • Fixed bug with asteroid belt event repeating endlessly
  • Star systems with astro probes are now marked on starmap


We are currently working with a plot continuation, so soon we will uncover some details what players will meet in the second third of our story. Stay connected!

Version 0.5.4

Previous release added some critical bugs so we had to release this unexpected patch version 0.5.4 today:


  • Fixed crash when shooting on planets
  • Fixed crash when completing dialog line for any of the ship officers
  • Fixed a rare crash on planet landing after loading a game


Thanks to those who reported these problems and provided saved games and logs, thus allowing us to make a quick fix!

Update 0.5.3 has been released

What’s new:


  • 2 new side quests: “Asteroids” and “Ambush”
  • New crew dialogs
  • New crew weapons and humanity upgrades
  • Controls improvements: WASD is now available by default, ESC closes now all in-game menus, dialog replies can be selected using keyboard
  • Fixed bugs with endlessly falling meteors, with super medpacks craft and some others

Trading cards are now available!
