Hello everyone!
In this post just want to share some news about current state of development and some changes in my private life. First of all, conference in Saint-Petersburg is over and I'm happy to say that project received very good feedback, people really like Far-Out and hope you will like it too.

To make some changes in my life, I've decided to stay in this beautiful city for a while and complete project while I'm here.
-
At the moment game finally supports Oculus VR and full gamepad controller, there are still some bugs, but I'm working on them. By the way, planning to publish Far-Out in Oculus store. At the moment working on big review (story) about the project and announce it on Unity MWU web page, I'll share the link here when post will be ready.
Wish you all warm summer and great vacation time!

Update!
Hello everyone,
First of all, thank you for your patience! I really really really appreciate this!
As you might noticed, the old GreenLight video was removed from store page and I made it on purpose, yes, because new trailer is almost ready as it was promised and will be announced fortunately this weekend.
I'm really sorry that making you wait for so much, but please keep in mind that I developing project alone and it takes a lot of time to make it right way. Also, I have finished "Landing" web page, so you can check this out here www.escapismworks.com. Would be great if you share your feedback in comments.
Currently working on some rebranding, finishing new trailer and preparing build for upcoming conference in beginning of June, where I'm taking place as exhibitor and participating in Indie Game Cup competition. Crossed fingers :)
As you can guess, release will be after competition is over, but for now, let's wait for announce trailer and spread the word!
Stay tuned, best wishes!

There is a huuuuge development process going on the background. so I'll be quick, just want to say that everything is cool, if there is no much news from me, it doesn't mean I'm not working on project, completely opposite!

WIP Update (02.28.2017)
Hello fellows!
Just want to say that currently polishing and preparing some materials for new trailer. Pushing quite hard on it and want to make it as good as possible!
Also, afraid, but glad to tell you that release date will be finally and officially available in this video, but please, be aware that it will take time for me to film and edit everything I need, so please be patient.
Looking forward to perform the best quality based on my previous film making experience. Will keep you posted with any step about the process.
Thanks for your support!
Cheers,
Alex
Keep Going!
Hello guys, I'm glad to inform that finally I've arranged all my private life things and keep moving forward with Far-Out project. Currently polishing everything inside the project and simultaneously filming for "launch trailer". "Raw cut" for the trailer is done, but I'm still lack of material that desire to show in new video. Also, planning to do some closed beta testing quite soon, never know what kind of problems might appear, so want to keep the chance to fix something or replace, before everyone can play.
Cheers!
I know, it's taking a bit longer, but believe me... it is going to be worth it.
Hello everyone!
Pleeeease, forgive me for postponing release day. I understand, that you don't care about my personal life things, but I'm really experiencing some issues with my relationships (divorce), as also my regular job taking some part of time. I ask you to understand, this game developing only by me, even if I'm hiring some people to help me with content.
Currently, I'm working on very complex component which will be a key point in whole project, also trying to optimize the game for old machines and fix all bugs that spotting during this process. It taking longer then I expected, but please understand, this is a pilot project, and I'm pushing really hard to make it the way it's supposed to be, to perform quality and playability on your displays.
Anyway, everyday project is getting closer to be completed and I just ask you to have a little patience.
Best wishes to everyone,
Alex
Far-Our release news!
Hello Guys,
I really appreciate your patience and gladly want to announce that game currently in version 0.9. Unfortunately, this month is not good for release, there is a big chance that it will immediately get lost in thousands of other games during Christmas sales. Although, during this month will be highly concentrated on game's optimization and will do my best to release the game in January of 2017. Wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
Far-Out will be available on Linux!
Hello everyone, I'm very glad to inform, that Far-Out will be available on Linux platform. It took me some time to find available PC and test the game for performance. It was tested only on Ubuntu so far, but I hope other Linux based platforms can also run the game.
Cheers!

Hello everyone! At first, thank you for your interest in Far-Out game!
I might already told you or maybe not, but there is an upcoming Comic Book based on the Far-Out universe. This comic book will be a short story that shows us a situation that happened before you start the game. It will be free of charge and also integrated to the game. Work in progress.
