Into Beyond is an exploration shoot'em up with classical and modern gameplay elements.

Your missions include destroying or infiltrating planetary bases, orbiting space stations or satellites, annihilating entire fleets, gathering resources and exploring mysterious places such as space nebulae or deep ocean planets.

This game is currently made by one person, with some friends contributing content and support.

Development started early october, and will try to provide weekly updates and info about it's progress.

The current version, Aries, formerly implementing the bare prototype will be evolved in gameplay and appearance until december, 31. This includes tweaks on the controls, enemies and behavior, weapons, basic mission objectives, and maybe even a bit of naration (prototyping dialogues).

The following version, Betelgeuse, will mainly improve on the level and terrain generation, ingame assets and appearance, practically improving the gameflow.

Also this project is live on 8bitfunding. If you like to contribute you can go there and empty your pockets :)

Contributing will also get you access to early builds (starting some time in December), or credits as early contributer in an demoscene'ish credit scroller. Not much, i know, but i don't like to make any promises at this stage of development. If you think your contribution deserves special treatment, you could drop me a message, and we can see what we can do about that ;)

I appreciate your support!
