After About 12 Years in Early Access, Sci-Fi Sandbox Signs of Life Launches Version 1.0: Early Access Began in January 2014
Sweet Dog Studios has released Version 1.0, the official launch of the science fiction survival sandbox game Signs of Life, which had been in Early Access since 2014, a span of about 12 years.
The game can be played solo or in online co-op with friends. Players take the role of an explorer investigating alien ruins, roaming the vast surface of the planet Osiris, delving into caves to search for resources, and investigating unknown creatures and locations. The procedurally generated landscape is dotted with designed ruins and research facilities, and players upgrade gear to expand the scope of their adventure.
The project began in 2011, when a developer who had played Terraria version 1.1 wanted a science fiction world with a stronger narrative. The game passed Steam Greenlight on player votes before it was playable, and Early Access began in January 2014.
The developers thanked the players who supported them over the years, saying they were able to get this far thanks to that support.
Signs of Life is available on Steam at 1,900 yen in Japan, with a 35 percent discount available through November 24.
