- Genesis Alpha One lands on the Epic Store today - 29 January 2019
Genesis Alpha One – a ship-building, space-exploring roguelike management FPS of mad ambition – is out now. One of the lesser-known exclusives snatched away from Steam for temporary Epic Store exclusivity, Radiation Blue’s game of ethically questionable (final) frontier survival has been on my radar for a while. Not only are you trying to maintain and expand a colony ship as it makes its way across space, but modify the DNA of your colonists as you discover new life. See the launch trailer below. (more…)
- Genesis Alpha One - Roguelike Trailer - 23 January 2019
Hi everyone, We thought we’d share with you our latest trailer looking at the roguelike elements present in Genesis Alpha One. The clones effectively act as your lives. Run out of clones and it’s game over. When you die, you will carry over all the artefacts that you’ve unlocked in the previous run, meaning your chances at performing a Genesis should hopefully increase. We’ve also updated the discussions with a Steam release FAQ as a pinned post that we hope you find helpful. https://youtu.be/IPDRP_BtXEM
- Genesis Alpha One – Release Update - 7 December 2018
Hi everyone, Some of you may have seen the announcement regarding Genesis Alpha One at The Game Awards last night but in case you missed it, you can find out more over on https://www.team17.com/genesis-alpha-one-prepares-for-launch-on-january-29th-2019/genesis-alpha-one/ You might be wondering what this announcement means for Steam users and we will be able to update you in the near future but we can confirm that Genesis Alpha One will not be launching on Steam on January 29th 2019. We understand that this will be frustrating to some of you who have supported the game since it was revealed, and we are extremely thankful for all your suggestions and feedback. The team are still hard at work putting together the final touches and incorporating some great new features into Genesis Alpha One and we hope you continue to be as excited as we are for it. At this time, we are making sure we put…
- The Magmanon – Making A Splash - 30 November 2018
Hello everyone, You may have seen the Magmanon alien in our minigun clip so we just wanted to give you a little more information around this hostile species. Their mixture of rock and lava bodies means they can withstand quite a lot of damage, so upgraded guns or ensuring you have plenty of ammo will be key in taking them down quickly. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F877711d3d459be5a00816a4f89630595f0d3c415.gif While the Magmanon’s fire rate is quite slow, its projectiles are powerful and can cause significant splash damage, so be on the move constantly when you come across them. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F46005322727ccbd1cd29437995852c3f15ff6230.gif
- Minigun Focus - 27 November 2018
Hey all, There are many futuristic weapons at your disposal in Genesis Alpha One, but sometimes you just need a classic to get the job done – like the minigun. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F14a35fd3975f7c025d178a9e9766a0b3bd520760.gif The minigun deals ballistic damage and utilises standard bullets that can be found at crash sites, dropped by downed foes or crafted with the necessary materials. The high rate of fire means it’s ideal for slower, more powerful hostiles. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2Fe0fb893527f3a7212a22ddfc87664a8b99dd769f.gif However, its perpetually winding motion means you can fire in short bursts to crowd control a group of enemies. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F46005322727ccbd1cd29437995852c3f15ff6230.gif
- Harvester Turret - 23 November 2018
Hey everyone, A quick info log regarding the turret on your Harvester. It has a range confined to the immediate vicinity of your ship, venture beyond it and you're on your own - unless you have crew back-up or another turret to deploy of course! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F71ac67eb2b94825f3db3f5b33481a713bacca53f.gif However, it can be an important tool when making planetary landings, if you play it right. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the alien threat on some higher level planets, a tactical retreat towards the Harvester means the turret can assist you in taking them down, giving you some respite to continue mining or searching crash sites. Either that or flee and live to fight another day! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F46005322727ccbd1cd29437995852c3f15ff6230.gif
- Meet The Framen - 20 November 2018
Hi all, In Genesis Alpha One you will encounter a variety of lifeforms, from insectoids to humanoids, but one of the most intrusive enemies are the Framen. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2Fc688fd095675bc1a3393b2856af28ca01e938dd1.gif These intergalactic foes will invade your vessel without knocking, stopping at nothing to destroy your ship and annihilate the crew. You can try to take them all out but it might be better to set the Hyperdrive and get away from their ship, picking off those who beamed aboard as they can be quite persistent! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F46005322727ccbd1cd29437995852c3f15ff6230.gif
- Procedural Generation – Planetary Landings - 16 November 2018
Hello everyone, As many of you are aware, Genesis Alpha One utilises procedural generation meaning each playthrough will be unique. As such, I wanted to highlight a few in-game screenshots of some recent planetary landings. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F5028a9b12244e9e3cf2b0d7f66a083911c516fbc.png https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F361947cb25c1fe6c564b9cbe2ca40324af968279.png https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F52a3ac8e93f94cdd63bd1ff3fbefe7d7548fd72a.png https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2Fd57d45244d1465311290b73d98bb8672cac2fd69.png There’s no telling what time of day, terrain or lifeforms you will come across so be prepared for any eventuality! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F%25E2%2580%25A6

- Weapons Check - Reloading - 9 November 2018
Hey everyone, A quick post to address a couple of questions around reloading in Genesis Alpha One. In essence, no reload mechanic is present. However, ammo is finite and like other resources on your ship, it will have to be created through the recovery of the appropriate materials. These can be obtained either through mining on alien planets or through materials harvested by your tractor beam. If you’re lucky, downed hostiles may drop some or a cache might be found at crash sites. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F4057342f83137b3bb652eedd370faee1342fd49a.gif As soon as you have the resources, ammo can be created in the workshop and grabbed from the nearest weapon rack, either on your ship or on the Harvester while planet-side. Just make sure you check you have enough ammo before embarking on any exploratory journey, you don’t know what you will…
- The Flashlight - Help or Hindrance? - 6 November 2018
Hey all, I'm the latest captain to join the crew and just wanted to share another quick tip with you and that’s in regard to the flashlight, which can be turned on and off with R3 or with the F button on a keyboard. While your trusty ray of light will be key when navigating the maintenance tunnels to snuff out an infestation or when exploring hostile alien planets at night time, it can also be a hindrance. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F21e5d53ae3dfe847ea4604d4f380b83fccbca22c.gif Some of the planets you will be visiting are shrouded in a dense fog that will refract your light and impair visibility. As such, there will be an increased element of risk the further your stray away from the safety and illumination of your ship, so make sure what you’re looking to mine or locate in the outer reaches of the area is worth it! https://steamcdn-a.akam…
- The decontamination module - 1 November 2018
Greetings Captains Should you be lucky enough to uncover schematics for the Decontamination module, you’ll want to install one or more of these as quickly as possible. These modules spray acid on any hostile lifeforms that travel through them, which makes this module particularly handy if placed around your hangars and tractor beams, where aliens are most likely to attack from! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2Fd210f93641081595d8b2a354da4ce20565f2dccb.gif Don’t worry, our tests indicate that the acid is completely safe for your crew… If you’d like to see a bit more of what you might find in the maintenance tunnels, take a look at our Facebook page, where we’ve prepared a short video. If Twitter is more your thing, we’ve got a gif over there too. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2F46005322727ccbd1cd2943799%25E2%2580%25A6
- Access is key! - 30 October 2018
Hey everyone One of your most important jobs as captains in the Genesis program is to keep your ship and its crew safe. There are many steps involved in securing your ship and a key factor is your ability to get around your ship quickly to be able to swiftly deal with any potential alien infestations. If you don’t get to these quickly, they might spread out of control, at which point it could cost you both parts of your ship and the lives of your crew! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31987798%2Faf37b54212906453c799b073f392dbaa72402c6e.gif This is why it’s important to build Access modules throughout your ship allowing you to quickly and easily enter the maintenance tunnels of the floor you might be on. The maintenance tunnels are where most infestations will begin and where the aliens can travel around the ship undetected. Your crew are unable to travers…
