We have been busy! We are just returning from a trip to game conferences in Europe, testing online, and showcasing our immersive sci-fi adventure at festivals in the USA. Gamers have provided vital feedback about the project and this translated to dev sessions that will bring infinite procedural worlds and much more. This project will also see a brand update, from "Exo" to "Starlight"
Specific things that will be changing with the reboot include:
New skies and exotic alien planets, species and cultures
Crafting and resource management
An astrolabe puzzle mechanic to decode stellar alignment
Land surveys and archeology
Map
Compass
Fast-travel
Video clips through each level telling a story of exploration and discovery
AR heads-up display and a complete UI rewrite
These features are all completed except crafting and survival. We will be going into a testing round early this summer. Once issues testing surface have been resolved, we will release, slated for Q4 2024.
This was our first game, and we much appreciate early adopters and those who continue to show interest. We have learned so much and the original release, although seeing early attention and traction suffered from issues that prevented it from finding the audience it deserves.
The Starlight reboot will be released with 4+ levels and priced based on the amount of content that we create. There will be more levels and all customers receive updates without additional costs.
Explore Exotic Exoplanets on a Search for Alien Life
Immersive Science Fiction Adventure
Discover new life, sentient species, and exotic exoplanets in this third-person exploration game from Superframe. Play as a research android launched from Earth to explore the Galaxy. Hundreds of light years from home, and traveling far into the future, voyage at close to the speed of light to neighboring exoplanets thought to harbor life.
4-Level Upgrade
Superframe is pleased to announce a 4-Level content upgrade for our immersive sci-fi adventure Exo. This early-release title is aiming for a full release late in 2023. The current price reflects the amount of content currently available and when the product launches all existing customers will receive the full game and an art ebook at the discounted early-release price.
Immersive Adventure
With a focus on exploration, this game finds you exploring alien landscapes and communicating your findings back to Mission Control back on Earth. As you travel among the stars, you will encounter signs of a lost alien race. Follow in their footsteps as you voyage to exoplanets that orbit within the habitable zone of their host stars.
Finding alien species, discovering sentient lifeforms, and collecting alien relics are some of the tasks you will need to accomplish to complete your missions. Equipped with a star drive, a powerful jetpack, and a research drone to help you map the worlds you visit, you have everything you need to explore the wonders of the Universe.
Solar-Powered with an Unlimited Lifespan.
As a solar-powered android, you have an unlimited lifespan and the ability to explore indefinitely. Traveling in stasis for the many years it takes to travel the Cosmos, conditions on Earth are constantly evolving. With voyages lasting decades, each time Exo reports back home, life for humanity has changed, as does the space agency and your role as Earth’s envoy to the stars.

Our customers are asking for features and we are busy completing the code base before building out the next release with four new levels. We have all of the content for the next update and are currently assembling the pieces.
With this update, the player will now be able to collect resources and avoid dangerous species. Extended encounters with alien creatures will beam the player back to the level origin, permanently losing the resources they have collected.
We are adding two team members and polishing the pitch deck. Next, we will be contacting publishers and seeing if there is a potential good fit.
Either way, the four level-demo is going to happen and will be available to all current and future customers.
