Icarus 1.3.0.0 and source code released

Game

Icarus

11 years ago

This is the changelog for the version released last week:

Gameplay: Added solar collectors which increase mining rate depending on solar intensity.
Bugfix: Planets can no longer have negative population.
Gameplay: Increased ship speed
Gameplay: Changed habitable zone growth rate
Bugfix: Deuterium cost for fusion inhibitors is now set correctly.

The source is now available, you can download it on the main game page. It is released under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode. If you wish to use the included music you must credit Kevin Macleod as detailed on http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/faq.html.

As the game was built in such a short time the code isn’t particularly well written or formatted so it may be difficult to understand. I intend to create some short guides on how to do some of the simpler tasks such as adding new ships / buildings changing the makeup of the solar system and changing resources. If you need any help with the source code please feel free to message me and I’ll see what I can do.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!
