Oxygen Not Included

Tombstone · 17 Feb 2017 at 23:03

A quick search didnt reveal a thread on this, I know that these sorts of games have a good following on OCUK , so wondered if anyone had seen this one yet from the people who made Dont Starve.

I've watched a bit of that video and am very intrigued but it looks a tad complicated - my first thought was how are they going to port it to consoles with a gamepad as that's where I am mostly these days.

Got it earlier, looks nice and it's a developer I have a lot of faith in tbh.. Unlike many lol

Not had a chance to play yet but my six year old has and seems to like it although she's not getting very far due to a lack of reading skill! I'll have a proper play tonight.

Now had a little hours play of it and it's very, very good fun. Totally different experience having to consider the gas around your little people, not just the usual water/food/shelter aspect. Runs fantastic at 4K on a 980, very nicely animated too.

Not hit any bugs so far although obviously only an hour in - but so far a big thumbs up from me!

With Dont Starve, they released the multiplayer version, Dont Starve Together. I wonder if they will release an Oxygen Not Included Together too.

Having a lot of fun with it, its quite different from Dont Starve and there is quite a bit to do even for it being an Alpha. Brilliant animations, the little guys have such character

Ooh..I didn't realise we could play it now. Picked up. Cheers OP

Here I am at Day 28... (shortly after this, everything went pear shaped, as a few got really stressed out and started throwing up all over the floor, which in turn stressed out everyone else)

Looks interesting, might take a punt on this.

Tombstone · 20 Feb 2017 at 21:45

Must admit, I am thoroughly enjoying it, its only alpha still but given that they added so much to Dont Starve as it went through alpha/beta etc, I firmly believe they will do the same with this.

Bought into this too. It's great fun and as Tombstone says, Klei are really good developers so am confident they will add lots of good quality content to it. Well worth a try imo

Tiny Clanger · 22 Feb 2017 at 11:21

This does look interesting... Is it really 'Rimworld meets Don't Starve' or more a case of 'Don't Starve in Space'?

dirtybeatfreak · 22 Feb 2017 at 11:42

Rimworld meets Don't Starve imo. There are some very similar elements.

Tiny Clanger · 22 Feb 2017 at 11:46

Very tempted in that case - Rimworld is a fantastic game. Never played Don't Starve though - hence the question.

I've played Dont Starve but havent played Rimworld, so take it with that factor in mind. In ONI there is a little more of a focus on digging and machinery, getting your plumbing and wiring connectivity laid out correctly etc than there is in Dont Starve.

Dont Starve was more about building a base for your single character whereas ONI is more about managing multiple characters and construction. Whether that makes it sound like a hybrid of the two, I couldnt say, given that I dont know much about Rimworld.

FrenchTart · 22 Feb 2017 at 22:13

It's early days so content is a bit lacking but it has the makings of a very solid game. I can definitely see the DS meets RW comparisons (though haven't played much RW).

Given Klei's history of good games and ongoing support/content releases it's a pretty safe bet. I reckon right now 10 hours of enjoyable playtime is a very conservative estimate. Once more content comes out you're looking at way more than that. That's coming from someone with a very short attention span and little time for gaming too.

This looks really good! Following with interest...

Tombstone · 23 Feb 2017 at 02:07

I made it all the way to the outer edge of the map

Luke_Bowman · 23 Feb 2017 at 08:59

Where can I pick this up? Would be really interested in playing, looks like it's got a lot of potential

Luke_Bowman · 23 Feb 2017 at 09:03

Scrap that, found it on Steam. Got confused that there's two separate pages for the main game and the ALPHA

HazardO · 7 Mar 2017 at 09:55

I've been enjoying this game so far, it's pretty polished for an alpha.
