Ancient Galaxy Community

Ran some in-game profiling over the past couple of days and found sound pathing tracing taking more time than I'd like.

Ancient Galaxy has a system to trace sounds from their source through portals into other cells, and then to the listener itself.  This has the effect of making sounds appear to come through portals rather than a straight shot from the sound source if the listener is at least one room away from the sound.

It works really well most of the time, but can be a bit expensive to trace the sound paths from room to room every so often. > Read more

Stuck again. This time in the Massive Cavern. I've found the magic spot to teleport out (Thoguh why the huge air-shaft doesn't count as a good view of the sky I don't know)

I've been round and round the place 2 or 3 times now, and still can't find what I need.

In the small cavern with the source of the waterfall in it, there's a door. This door "Requires Unknown Key"... I can't find a key on any of the 40+ bodies lying around, or any alternate route to whatever is no the other side of said door. Any help would be good.

We are planning to update Ancient Galaxy from version 1.1 to version 1.2.

We have been getting requests for the ability to go back to your spaceship without dying.  Taken too far, this has the potential to ruin the gameplay, but we see that it could be a good addition to the game if it is limited in some way.

One of the main changes that we will make is to change the way the Blue Rocks, Stones and Crystals work in order to provide this ability.  The current behavior of the Blue Rescue crystal will be gone - that is, the ability to mark a location & return to it later upon death. > Read more

Ok, so there are some folks out there now with the full game - thanks for your support! ;)

I wonder who will be the 1st to finish the game?

How far have you gotten so far?

Right now I'm lost.. or at least I know exactly where I am, where I've been, but can't seem to go anywhere new.

I'm in the Ohki Crystal Ore Factory, and can't find anything new to do. I've explored everywhere I can find.. got to the cloning romo by killing things then went in and killed the prisoner, made a clone, killed it, been into the mines, and turned something off which enabled a lift to a teleporter room (I think, the message disappeared before I could read it fully), killed everything there, couldn't get over to the other side at that point though, got a key off someone and went back upstairs into that room, through the door, flicked the switch for the drawbridge, but that just gets me back to where I was.

Ancient Galaxy features a unique way of handling death within the game.  We wanted to come up with something that would allow death to not completely take the player out of the zone, and try to build the death into the story as well.

This unique death handing kicks in after the initial Digsite level, once your player has discovered the Space ship and has cloning capability. > Read more
