The game IKO 39 has been released!
Welcome players and all Steam users! Our game IKO 39 was released today, August 15, 2022.
Unfortunately, not so many people played the game during early access, and therefore we could not implement the functionality described below: 1. RTX/DLSS. 2. Translation into European languages. 3. New locations. 4. Updated versions of the diaries of the settlers of the IKO station 39.
We hope that the game will sell better after the release than in early access and we will implement everything we planned earlier.

News from February 1, 2022
We welcome everyone who added the game to the desired or wants to do it.
In short, the plot of the game is as follows: The IKO space station on one of the colonial planets has stopped communicating. Experienced engineer Casey must find out the cause of the breakdown.
Arriving on the planet, she realizes that this is far from the main problem of the colonists. Since the ship is also not all right, Casey is left without the opportunity to seek help on Earth.
Now Casey has to find a way out of a difficult situation alone. The only one who will come to her aid is artificial intelligence IKO.
The diaries of the disappeared station manager will also be of help. In the station blocks and in the open area, you can find a lot of necessary things.
Casey will face a difficult test, during which she will discover new, strange and amazing reasons for what happened.
We have been developing this game since August 4, 2019. But they were abandoned due to various circumstances: there was little experience in developing on UE4, coronavirus, and besides, the second developer went into the army for a year. And we returned to the development of the game only recently, namely on November 30 of this year, the day before the release of our first DarkHouse game. We are developing this game from scratch, but we use some of our old practices in terms of blueprints, models and music/sounds. The game is being developed without a third-party budget and publisher, solely on its own. The plot of the game remains the same: sci-fi detective on the planet Morrow. But the main character was replaced with a male by a female. There was a Sim, and now Casey.
The game map has also been enlarged several times: now it is a small open world. Accordingly, the functionality of the game has increased. Instead of a monkey wrench, we now have an electroshock weapon called Elenium. As well as engraving, with which you can take and throw various objects at bots. Bots, in turn, have also been replaced and there are more of them. Most of them were modeled on their own, and some were bought on the UE4 engine marketplace. Some bots have a long-range and short-range type of attack, some have only a short-range one.
Examples of bots:
Several videos on various game mechanics are presented below. You can also see new buildings and much more in them. [previewyoutube="Yy0r1ZXnDlM;full"] [previewyoutube="iBbVXNgYxxc;full"] [previewyoutube="B9zOQd3XlKs;full"] [previewyoutube="MfdYaux0yzk;full"] [previewyoutube="s5iPpXSou1I;full"]
The game has undergone many improvements and its development continues.
The sky, a teleport and much more
We’ve done a lot through this month. One of the coolest changes is the implementation of day and night cycles. [previewyoutube="ihZqW3Y5lNk;full"] Our game will be synchronized with a player's time. If you enter the game at dusk - you'll see the night planet, and the morning in the real world will illuminate Morrow too. But time in the game will be quicker than the real one. Moreover, streetlights appeared around the station; they are synchronized with a time of day and can turn on in the automatic mode. Sky textures are completely changed now, like the sky itself. It was plain before, with one big static star, but now you can see a less star, which will be like the Sun for Earth, with its sunrises and sunsets.Before After
Also, teleports were built - with their help your hero will be able to move to important locations. Now you can turn off bot spawn blocks with terminals’ and chips’ help. Of course, there won’t be a lot of such chips, otherwise a user would be able to turn off all blocks. Thank you for your attention and see you soon, guys!
