when will this hit steam? I can't wait looks awesome please tell me the loot is random in the game

Hi!
The game is on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/921800/Encased_A_SciFi_PostApocalyptic_RPG/ - add to your wishlist.
You can start playing Alpha if your pre-order Digital First Access - http://encasedgame.com/preorder
And the loot is generated indeed!

 

[agris]

Randomly generated loot? That’s horrible news. Why would they do that to their game?

 

[Infinitron]

They probably mean randomly placed loot like in many RPGs, not that the loot items themselves are randomly generated like in Diablo/Divinity. Which may not be what that guy is hoping for.

Randomly generated loot? That’s horrible news. Why would they do that to their game?

Gosh darn it i hope not. I have no idea how people can like randomly generated content. They're always so soulless.

Also, call me oldschool and sexist, but James Norrington from that screenshot is a female? How, even?

 

[Infinitron]

"Color: African". I think they're just randomly playing with the chargen interface in that screenshot. But indeed it looks like they give you the option of playing a transgender character by separating "Gender" and "Body Type". Where is your Russian god now Codex

Alpha is now Beta: https://steamcommunity.com/games/921800/announcements/detail/1595883107394923670

Encased closed Beta is live!
8 AUG @ 8:59PM - CRONUS EMPLOYEE

Welcome to the Encased Beta!

Since the launch of the Encased alpha, our team’s been working really hard. Thanks to the feedback and support of the community, Encased has evolved into what we always strived for: a real old-school RPG.

Now it's time for the next step. Today we're releasing a closed beta version of the game on Steam. If your Kickstarter title is Colonel or higher, check your email, the game key is already waiting for you.

The Beta that will be deployed in the next few hours is just an improved version of the alpha. You’ll discover: a new level of Magellan Station called Reactor Unit, new NPCs and new quests. Keep in mind, the beta content is still very limited and will be further developed before the final release.

We would like to remind you that we have introduced a special system to report bugs: in all versions of the game, the player can send a bug report or suggestion. Just click on the button in the top-left corner of the screen and describe the problem. The system will automatically send us a screenshot and your description of the error, attaching your PC info (which in certain situations can help diagnose the cause of the bug). This system will help us to quickly discover and rectify any remaining problems.

Full list of changes in Beta:

• Expanded introductory event with the elevator stop;
  
• The reactor level is now open;
  
• Rebalanced main attributes of different Wings;
  
• Hand-to-hand combat branch has been significantly updated – new skills have been added, old ones have been changed;
  
• A lot of skill tree changes;
  
• A batch of new weapons has been added for sale in the armory;
  
• NPCs react to player vandalism;
  
• Fixed some errors in quests;
  
• Random events have been added to time rewind;
  
• New items, statuses and effects from consuming food and drink;
  
• Many technical and performance improvements;

Important note: With the release of the beta version of the game, your save files may become corrupted. We recommend you start a new game.

In the Beta menu you can also switch to the old version and continue your playthrough.

Kickstarter Update #35: Second Update of Encased Closed Beta

Hello everyone. We want to remind you that Encased is getting ready for the upcoming Early Access release.

In the meantime, we have released a second closed beta for Kickstarter backers, as well as for those who pre-ordered the game on the website. In the new version of the game you will be able to explore all levels of Magellan station, leave it and go on a mission. Among the new floors, there is a reactor room with illegal rat racing; a residential area where you can run into a fight and get acquainted with the Orange Wing headman; a roadside cafe; a swamp, and other interesting places. The following changes are also waiting for you:

— Updated skill system and new skill trees

— New enemy, a Forefathers relic war machine

— New quests and characters

— Several new big locations

— Updated visuals and effects

We also fixed a lot of bugs. However, this is an early version of the game and bugs in game mechanics, functionality and quest logic are still present. We kindly ask players to be understanding.

We’re waiting for your feedback, bug reports and words of encouragement on our social media.

Honest question: How does 0.1% of the population have so much influence as to force their mental illness into every facet of life?

 

[Sykar]

I cannot wait to play this one. There just are not that many good sci fi cRPGs out there and this one looks quite promising.

 

[Fenix]

Honest question: How does 0.1% of the population have so much influence as to force their mental illness into every facet of life?

Simple answer - they can't untill someone helping them from the shadows.

Also, this screenshit makes me hesitate about playing the game...

 

[Jimmious]

What is the problem with the screenshot? You haven't seen women with manly body types?
I find the "color: African" funnier

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Coming soon to GOG.

Kickstarter Update #36 — Early Access Announcement

Greetings, recruits!

The time has come. The Early Access version of Encased is almost ready, and the Dome will soon be open to everyone. On September 26th, you can begin exploring the enigma that is the Dome!

Those who pledged their support on Kickstarter, or otherwise pre-ordered the game, will receive their keys via email during the Early Access launch. Over the next few days we will send out a questionnaire where you may choose your platform, Steam or GOG.

Now we will answer the biggest question posed by community: "What can we expect in Early Access?"

• Early Access will include a section of the game's main plot relating the events leading up to and during the Incident.
• After the prologue, you will have access to some parts of the open world, where you can explore and discover how life under the Dome changed after the disaster.
• Portions of the desert beneath the Dome will be obscured as anomalous zones, and temporarily inaccessible. But don't worry, regular content updates will gradually open up new sectors of the Dome for you to explore.
• The open world has a life of its own. Traveling through the desert, you'll meet wandering traders, bandits, wild animals, the Forefathers' machines and anomaly mazes. Sometimes you’ll encounter unique events leading to a quest or acquainting you with one of the Dome’s factions.
• The Early Access release will include about 40 weapons. In addition, Encased lets players craft their own weapons, which can lead to more than 100 deadly devices in total!

You will also find new side quests, characters, secrets, locations, items, weapons and armor, new animations, improved sounds and music, item crafting, etc.

Right now and until the start of Early Access, we will continue to polish and improve the game. None of the feedback you sent escaped our notice. We've fixed tons of bugs, changed some small mechanics, and improved what you told us needing improving (but nothing too crazy, we can't add a Godzilla-sized Cheburashka or anything like that).

As a reminder, you can directly report any errors you find in the game by using the "Feedback" button in the interface. You can also message us in Discord .

The Dome awaits, your patience will soon be rewarded! Join your fellow Encased players on Steam or GOG!
