Moonbase Down 1.2.0: Prelude to War



Hello Xenomorph & RL fans!

After an extended period without updates, Moonbase Down is back with a large set of feature enhancements.

We put a new layer of love into arcade mode in preparation for the "long time coming soon" sandbox mode. Since sandbox mode will utilize the same combat system for certain parts of the adventure, we wanted to make sure that arcade mode is as fun as possible.

Overall, the pace is faster and players have better odds of surviving to collect all 10 crew logs. The graphics are easier to look at and Xenomorph are easier to target and evade.

1.2.0 New Features


    <*> Graphics are now 2X larger (with scrolling maps)
    <*> Line of Sight: Aliens are more sneaky
    <*> Updated targeting system
    <*> Pulse Rifle 2X damage
    <*> Stasis Mines: Longer Force Cage
    <*> Faster Run Speed for PC and some Xenomorph
    <*> PC level boosts ammo per clip: Rewards higher level characters
    <*> Reduced Impregnation Penalty: Batteries collected +100% power drop with corpse
    <*> Crew Logs Window
    <*> Enhances A.I. and Xenomorph Aggression
    <*> Greatly Enhanced Space Dragon A.I.
    <*> Space Dragons now regenerate while sleeping
    <*> Steam Leaderboards are now live
    <*> 1.2.0: Hard Mode: adds 'mysterious' layer of difficulty after surviving 10-Floors
    <*> 1.2.0: Raises the character level cap to 30
    <*> Enhanced Visuals & FX

If you encounter any problems or have a great suggestion, contact us on discussions and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

And remember, playing MBD in the day-time is a form of cheating.

Thank you so much,

Minor Performance Update


  • Minor Performance Update

Moonbase Down & Land of Arxox | Sandbox



Good news is sandbox mode is still under development.

Bad news is, it won't be ready as soon as we hoped for. Although Moonbase Down has been under development since 2016 our biggest game to date LandofArxox.com has been under development since 2014 and has top priority now.

Wishlist and follow it. Parts of the engine are shared between the games, so development on one benefits the other:
