Fractalus 1.1 is now available https://t.co/jLqqN8n3uN

@thepetererer Looks like I'll need to refine the control configuration/mapping system, as it's currently set up to automatically switch to the last used controller. I hadn't considered other controllers that were always attached and sent constant signals. Thanks for letting me know!

Fractalus 1.0 is finally released! https://t.co/8VH4zA9qPf

@llamasoft_ox Strange, I tested it on my Rift CV1 (and just retested it to make sure) and didn't see the same thing. What GPU are you running? I wonder if it's something being rendered by the game or by something else, as the game does render a quad in front of the camera for the UI layer

@cshepherdFR Unfortunately no, the only easter egg I included from the original is the markings on the alien pilot's chestplate

@000Angus000 Thanks! Assuming that Koronis Rift was implemented the same way as Rescue on Fractalus, my remake could potentially be adapted. However I haven't played Koronis Rift myself so I'm not familiar with it

@DavidBFox @rtsoft @flarb Yep, no aliens in the current build so it's safe to explore without fear of an alien surprise. The next build that I hope to have released by the end of the year will include the alien though!

@__Jeff_D__ Progress on 1.0 is well underway, I finished the alien pilot model last week and implemented it into the game. I still have a few things to do including improving sounds, adjusting game play and progression, and VR support, so I hope to have 1.0 released near the end of the year.

@steveseg247 Hi @steveseg247! Sorry for the delayed response, I didn't get a notification. Work on Fractalus 1.0 is in progress, I've completed the Alien's head model and now working on attaching it to the pilot body and rigging it for animation. Hoping to release 1.0 near end of the year.

Fractalus 1.0 Progress... https://t.co/UCc2a4pGGn

@MementoMoree Stuff is going well! I've made some good progress on Fractalus 1.0, especially over the last couple of weeks while I've been on break from work! It's about time for a proper progress update, so I'll post one soon.

My website and email server for https://t.co/4XeXvXuXo2 is currently offline due to a hardware failure at the host. Not sure how long it will be offline for, but I'll be migrating the domain to a new host which may take a few days.

@trekkie22de Thanks for letting me know, looks like I missed a PHP module when setting up the new server! Can you try posting again?

[Luke's Software and Design @lsdwa]

If you have an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, there's now an experimental Fractalus VR test build available at https://t.co/YnqoGWe78f !

[Luke's Software and Design @lsdwa]

@DavidBFox @jtsiren @skrollilehti @DavidBFox Thank you! Thanks for posting more of the history and artwork from the development of Rescue on Fractalus, great to learn more about the development, and I'm currently working on the models in the remake so seeing more of the original artwork for reference helps :)

Lucasfilmin Rescue on Fractalus! oli varhainen fraktaalien innoittama tietokonepeli. Vuosikymmeniä myöhemmin maisemanluonti kohinalla inspiroi modernin imitaation: Fractalus. Artikkeli peleistä ja niiden kehityksestä maksutta https://t.co/lFJZ64cdtA:ssä: https://t.co/xtGVdBwtNH
