Greetings everybody!

We Are Bots Studio is a young game development studio founded during 2015. We are actually working on Hull Breach, a science-fiction game.
HullBreach is an immersive First Person Survival Game. Trapped in a wrecked ship, you have to struggle to stay alive: salvage what you need to repair the damaged systems, close the many breaches slowly riping the hull open, and try to withstand your thirst and hunger while keeping your spirits up.
Staying alive will be hard and this game won't go easy on you, you better bring all you got!

=====================

724566BANBackground.png

You and the rest of the crew were involved in a scientific expedition heading to Viridia, a planet far away from your system. You were supposed to collect some samples and come back, but your ship —The Wanderer IV— crashed in a rift during the landing procedure. Taking off or calling for help are not an option due to the heavy damages sustained. You have to settle there, and survive in the hope that someone will come rescue you.

=====================

• Over 50 different rooms are already in the ship.
• Half of the rooms are randomly generated. Every game a new ship!
• Fix breaches and your environment, extinguish fires and search the ship for food and water.
• Make sure to fix as many problems as you can during the day, since it will worsen every night.
• Make the best out of the 63 items that are already in the game.
• Try to not die from a bad wound, a devouring disease or from an alien infection.

Here are the points we will try to develop in the few upcomings weeks :

Diseases system - 04/12/2015 - Will work the exact same way as the wounds system, except that you will mainly contract diseases when eating rotten food. Diseases will lower your stats over time, making you slower, weaker, and may even kill you.
Save and Load system - 11/12/2015 - You will be able to save your game state (which will include inventory, rooms positions, stats, containers states, fires, breaches, acrycine gas...). Well, basicaly the whole game. You will then be able to load your previous game from the main menu.
Health-related items - Between 4/12/2015 and 11/12/2015 - All the items that will help you fix your food and your health condition. Those items will also help you decrease the states of your wounds and your diseases.
Room specific abilities - Undefined - Those are all the specific interactions you could find in a room and all the specific rules that may apply to them. For these latter, we will have to explain them on a case-by-case basis.

    Hello everyone,

    We are Bots is proud to present you a new trailer for Hull Breach. This time, we show you a lot more gameplay and a few features that are currently work in progress and we hope it will make you more aware of what can be done in the game.

    Visually, the rendering for this trailer has been downgraded, so you can see the game is really bright where it should be a lot darker. That's on purpose because it was hard to understand what was happening in the action without brightness.
    Anyway, we think this trailer will please you and will give you a good reason to vote for us for the 2015 indie of the year awards. So take a look!

    Check our gameplay trailer on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY7_IcdH4i0

    Hello everyone,
    We are happy to share the good news: "Hull Breach" has successfully been greenlighted by the Steam Community in only two weeks. We wish to thank, with our whole heart, all those who have ensured the success of our project.

    eaq6r9yrnrcb.png


    For thooses who dont like to read you can check "What is Hull Breach" in 15 secondes. Enjoy!


    In Hull Breach, you play a crewmember of a distress spaceship, crashed on an unknown and unfriendly planet. As time passes, your chances of survival grow slimmer and your only objective is to die as late as possible.
    The only thing that can make you die is when your health equal zero. But there are numerous things that can lower your health, so a lot of ways to die:

    1) Hunger/Thirst. Space is beautiful, but there are not many flying sandwiches and soda in there, which is... kinda annoying for starving survivors.
    2) Oxygen. As we all know, trying to breathe CO2 is not a good way to fill your lungs.
    3) Morale. Maybe there is no one to care about your mood, but neglecting your mental health will only make the situation worse.
    4) Fire. If you don't maintain your ship in good conditions, it will decay rapidly, and chances of starting a fire will increase. And as you probably know: fire is not good for your body. So take your wrench and prevent everything you can from deterioration.
    5) Acrycine. Every night, a random number of breaches will spawn, letting the poisonous atmosphere of the planet get into the ship. This poison is known as "Acrycine", and it will slowly but assuredly kill you. Fix thoses breaches, recycle the air, and hold your breath during the process (you can't hold for that long, just try to find a room without any danger and close the doors!)
    6) Wounds. There are many ways to hurt yourself: repairing machines, breathing acrycine or staying in a fire are some of many ways to damage your organs. A wound will not kill you instantly but it will grant you stackable maluses and make survival a lot harder. Also, if you don't heal it, it might get worse and worse, and at some point finally kill you.
    7) Diseases. Sometimes, your body will fail you, but not because of a damaged organ. Because it's a very delicate balance to be healthy, you can sometimes wake up with a bad cold, a flu, a headache and so on... Like wounds, it won't kill you instantly but it can worsen over time and leave you shivering on the floor, waiting for death to come as quick as possible. Beware of what you eat & drink. Rotten food can kill you with enough time.

    znrrx5edhrhu.png


    Work in progress beyond this line


    1. Temperature. Every room has a thermostat that controls temperature. But it can be broken, and temperature will then rise or lower over time until you fix the room. Of course, a big difference between the room temperature and the normal heat of a human body can lead to substantial damages. Naturally, fire will increase the temperature of a room, and a breach will make it drop rapidly.
    2. Pressure. 1013 hPa (hecto-pascal) is the natural atmospheric pressure on Earth. You can survive big difference with this average, but not when it happens fast. And when a breach sucks out all oxygen in a room, it also makes the pressure drop fast enough to kill you from sudden decompression.
    3. Gravity. Gravity cannot really kill you directly, but it can cause numerous collateral problems. For example, water needs gravity to flow through waterpipes... so no gravity = no water recycling. It might become a major problem some day.

    tm30nyofcb4j.png


    And that's it! But maybe it's enough, don't you think? You want more ways to die, do you? Well, we will think about that when you'll die on day 6 because your fever reached its final stage of severity. Pretty dumb way to die in space, hu!?
    • Here is the complete list of the wounds already integrated (maybe more to come): bleeding, bruise, burn, cut, head, foot, leg, thigh, chest, stomach, shoulder, arm, forearm, hand and finger (thumb/index/middle/ring/pinky).
    • Here is the complete list of the diseases already integrated (maybe more to come): infection, indigestion, headache, flu, fever, bad cold, heart failure and acrycine infection.

    =======================

    As you might have noticed, there has been no version 0.84. This is because we had a major bug. We only managed to make a workaround, so if the game needs 2 full minutes to load the very first time, this is normal.
    This should not occur the next times.We will of course try our best to remove this unwanted behavior as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding.

    =====================

    FIX

    - Debug Inventory.

    A note from our Lead Developer: At first this patch was supposed to be a simple hotfix to debug the inventory but I had a lot of trouble with the save/load system that I mistakenly delayed too much. Therefore, the save/load system is currently disabled (for it was way too much unstable) and in the end, very few content have been added. Sorry about that, we're working on this issue and I strongly hope it will be all good next week. See you there!

    I take this opportunity to introduce you the latest concept art for HullbreacH (thanks to studio Kippik):
    160303111141876815.jpg
    We still hope the alpha release will be available during the second week of March.

    "Hull BreacH" becomes "Drift Into Eternity".

    160511105100986895.png

    It was unanimously (minus one vote) that the team of We Are Bots Studio chose to rename our beloved game into «Drift Into Eternity».
    This new name will not only avoid any confusion with Hull Breach — the card game by our friends at NSBG (Not-So-Broken Game), with which, by the way, we still hope to collaborate in the near future to raise high the flag of awesome science-fiction games!
    But it's also a title that fits pretty well with our intentions with this science-fiction game: designing a game in which you have to struggle for your survival, locked up in a distressed spaceship, drifting for eternity into the cold vastness of space.
    And finally, we've all fallen in love with the acronym of our new title «Drift Into Eternity» wich is D.I.E. Could we dream for more suitable acronym for a survival game?

    160511105100829503.png

    Anyway, we hope you will like this new title as much as we do, as well as its acronym,  don't hesitate giving us your opinions on them both and giving us your feedback on the game.
    And never forget... In D.I.E.... Death is not the end!
    Thank you to all future survivors for your unconditional support.
    Best regards,
    WE ARE BOTS STUDIO

    Each room has its own specific and unique improvements you can initiate from its Research Panel by simply clicking the Launch button.
    Up to 186 different researches are available for now, and more to come!

    While running, a Research will consume both Energy (provided by the Generators seated in R29) and Computation Process (provided by every Console of the ship).
    For every broken Generator, the overall Energy of the ship will decrease. Would the overall Energy be insufficient to continue the ongoing researches, the lacking energy would be derived from the accumulators.
    Finally, if the energy provided by the accumulators failed to offset the Researches' need, then a random research would be canceled to meet the new energy requirements.

    You can find Research Panels in rooms R06, R09, R28, R29, R30, R31, R39 and R42 ; each of these rooms houses critical systems vital for the survival of the player:
    Oxygen Regeneration, Water Recycling, Pressure Control, Temperature Control... Researches can improve the efficiency of these systems to maximize your chances & resources!

    Every room has their own Research Tree, balanced between a mix of both short and long-term bonuses.
    For example, in R31 – Water Recycling, one research improves the Water Recycler efficiency (long term bonus) while another research produces Bio-Resin inside the Water Tanks (an useful material, even in the short term).

    Some researches are also combo-friendly and should be done as quick as possible.
    For example, the « Inspired Engineer » series of researches (in R06 – Repair Room) gives the player a morale bonus whenever a research is finished.
    A pretty useful research one would want to develop early on.

    If you feel you may have an Energy shortage in the coming hours, you can pause a research by clicking the Launch/Pause button.
    That's very handy to prevent any research from being canceled and every item it required to be lost in the process.

    Some researches are needed to unlock Craft Panels. For example, researching « Hand Craft Degree » in R06 will unlock the R06 Craft Panel.
    Craft Panels allow you to craft unique and very powerful items, like the fireproof outfit. Have a look at it, you won't regret it.

    The hologram system we use for the Research Panels uses easily identifiable icons to differentiate the various scientific research at first glance.
    It was deemed important to understand the value of a research without having to read its full description.

    160914011745367798.png
    UP ARROW = Increase

    160914011745154182.png
    DOWN ARROW = Decrease

    160914011744147335.png
    PLUS = Adds a Positive Effect

    160914011745631128.png
    MINUS = Removes a Negative Effect

    It is quite barely impossible to develop all the researches, even if you are very good player… Choose your priorities wisely and pray that you will not fall into blackout too quickly.
    We hope the Scientific Research System will please you, See you on the next update with the introduction to the Craft System.
    Keep on surviving!
