Residual Kickstarter and DEMO
Type: News
Posted: Wed, July 22, 2020 @ 3:37 PM CEST
A new Orangepixel game is coming:
Residual - and it is NOW on Kickstarter with a playable demo available!
Check all the details here: Residual Kickstarter.
RESIDUAL
is a survival platformer offering a combination of crafting and exploration.
There are no weapons, it's just you, the planet, and an adventure for survival
that's different every time you hit the "New Game" option.
RESIDUAL
throws you onto a procedurally generated planet with no humanoid lifeforms.
Your task? Survive! – Explore the planet both above and below ground, scavenge,
mine, craft, fish, pluck, chop, climb, jump, push, pull, and solve puzzles
along the way.
Discover remnants of an ancient civilization and their advanced technology.
It's not known why this civilization failed, but their technology is sure
to come in handy when fixing your ship once you figure out how to use it.

Residual launches on September 9th!
And you get to crash on September 9th!
Type: Upcoming Release
Posted: Thu, September 2, 2021 @ 10:55 AM CEST
Just ONE MORE WEEK! And Residual will launch you into space -- so you can crash
on one of the many planets in the universe! I hope you are as excited as I am
for this new adventure. I have a few little extra things I wanted to share
with you:
PAX-WEST !
Residual will be on the PAX floor at the Apogee booth! - so go check it out
and give it a little play if you happen to be there!
STREAMS AND VIDEOS
If you plan on streaming, or upload videos of your gameplay, make sure to drop by on discord.gg/orangepixel as
I've setup a channel for you to promote your Residual stream/video there!
FREE GAME MANUAL
And finally, as an extra bonus, I'm giving away a FREE copy of the Residual Digital Manual if you sign-up to
the Orangepixel newsletter! The eManual has a bunch of information on the game, including a good old fashioned
back-story that's exclusive to the manual.
MAC VERSION
I'm still looking into the options to distribute the Mac build, Apple made it VERY difficult to simply release Mac games
with their notarization policy.
There is a Mac build available, and I'm sure going to try to make it available somehow and somewhere, but there's still
a bit of figuring out there.
STEAM DECK
Getting a bunch of questions about Steam Deck - all I can say now is that I'D LOVE to support the deck with all my games,
I have high hopes, since we have Linux builds available for all the games including Residual, but right now,
I have no access to a deck, so no way of testing it - so let's just wait and see!
IF you had previously signed up to the newsletter an extra email with a link to the manual will go out on launch day -
so don't worry, I got you covered!
Pfew.. think we're now all set for next week's release! - Come hang out on the discord to chat about the game if you like.
..and remember: the surface is just the beginning !
- Pascal / Orangepixel

PATCH UPDATE FROM THE MOTHERSHIP
Type: Small Update / Patch Notes
Posted: Sat, September 11, 2021 @ 1:14 PM CEST
First update is here! It's not a big one, because I first want to make sure
all the tiny annoyances and other small bugs are fixed before I start
introducing new bugs .. uhm, I mean .. new features!
So the list of changes in this update:
o added: patch-notes popup (only shown once on new updates)
o added: Scanner now also shows minable-pockets for resources
o added: items dropped from your backpack now have a marker above them
o added: fail-safe mechanism detecting player being "blocked" into solids (due to vine-swinging for example) -
make him "wake up" at the ship as if passed out
o added: Roof-generators now also "light up" the plane they are on (besides their other function)
o fixed:biting-creatures can "corner" the player into a non-movable position.
o fixed: opening visor when being grabbed by slurper-plant goes "crazy" interface wise until creatures lets you drop
o fixed: "mission completed" percentage on load-game screen isn't correct
o fixed: bug causing sleeping/restoring taking much longer than needed
o fixed: far less random events (less backpack broken, or device disabled)
o fixed: improved check on mission-required resources already collected (only on new mission triggers, not for existing)
Besides that, I'm glad to see everyone is exploring those planets!
As you might have noticed by now, the type of planet you crash on can have a huge impact
on your gaming experience - so do make sure to try a couple of other planets (especially
if you are one of the unlucky ones that ends up on a very cold planet with barely any fruit).
Here are a couple of tips to help you on your adventure:
FOOD: Can regrow, but only if you leave the stems/sticks in the ground! Don't pull them out, and fruit will regrow in a (game)day or so. Usually running against a stem will let the fruit drop to make that even easier
FISH: A resource that also keeps coming back, water is empty? visit it a bit later and you might find fish in there!
MUSHROOMS: Great resource for restoring energy .. but they come with side-effects! - cooking will help limit those effects.
WATER: You can always fill your flask (in inventory) with water! This refuels your energy levels slightly (not fully) but a very easy and quick way to regain some energy on a planet without much food
ENERGY: The speed at which you lose energy is based a lot on the temperature on the planet, or the area you are in (for example: deep underground it's often very cold) - Your solar-suit will keep you warm, but the colder it is, the faster the solar-suit will deplete and needs recharging in the sun ! A fire will keep you warm and safe.
SLEEP: Sleep restores your energy, but how much it restores is also based on your food levels. Best thing is to try and eat and refill your food-bar before you sleep.
REST: Sleeping in the captains chair is great, but you can also build a campfire, stand near it, and your character will then sit down and rest. This also restores your energy, and gives you rest. Often a quick way as you don't have to travel back and forth to the ship.
And of course hop on the discord.gg/orangepixel if you wanna talk to other adventurers, already some great conversations going as people help each other out :)
More updates are coming, and please remember to leave a rating/review on the game, this helps visibility - especially if you enjoy what's here and what's to come!
