Sigma Theory: Global Cold War news & patch notes

It's finally here! Out There: Oceans of Time has launched and you can commence your journey in T-Minus 3...2...1… We thank everyone for their patience and support on getting Out There: Oceans of Time, out there! This has been a long journey but we couldn't have done it without you and we are excited to see you get involved in our communities on Twitter, Discord and Steam! If the standard edition isn't enough, allow us to present the CELESTIAL EDITION - which comes with two exclusive skins (the Celestial Suit for Commander Nyx, and the Celestial Livery for your Vanguard ship), an exclusive Wallpaper Pack, AND the original soundtrack by Siddhartha Barnhoorn award-winning composer (also available on iTunes, Bandcamp and Spotify)

About Out There: Oceans of Time

As the successor to the award-winning Out There, Oceans of Time blends roguelike, resource management and interactive fiction for a space survival epic where death is one wrong decision away. As Commander Nyx, you’ll explore a vast galaxy that is different every time you play, as you search for the Archon; a cosmic villain set on dominating the civilisations of the galaxy. “Out There: Oceans Of Time might be the next great space RPG.” Gfinity “Overall, the visuals took an overhaul, almost on par with an AAA game.” Turn-based Lovers “I think it’s a real gem that’s worth keeping an eye on. Mi-Clos is clearly passionate about the sci-fi genre, and it shows in Oceans Of Time‘s gorgeous universe.” NME https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145290/Out_There_Oceans_of_Time/ With love from Mi-Clos and Modern Wolf.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32332878/13e5b844b07b7a2793ed65a507d50a9407ca51f1.jpg Dear agents, the Nigeria - Additional Nation DLC and the update 1.10. are both available on Steam and GOG. The game, the DLC and the soundtrack are 33% off for a limited time. Time to get sneaky!

Update 1.10

This update addresses the most worrying balancing issue: STRENGTH vs INTELLIGENCE agents. To solve this issue, we’ve decided to tweak the exfiltrations to make it more easier for STR-based agents and harder for INT-based agents. That way, we hope STR-based agents will get picked up more often and will encourage action-packed playstyle into the meta.

We really wanted to make this as part of the free update. But making new content is rather costly. And we don’t think we’ll be able to keep the project sustainable in the long run if we release everything for free. DLCs will be cheap (this one is $2.99) and non-mandatory to play future updates. Thank you for your understanding. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1243710/Nigeria__Additional_Nation/

Which is understandable since we're going from a 2D game to a full 3D universe and a lot of new features. We've putted together useful FAQ in the Steam forum. Feel free to ask anything in the thread and we'll update along. Go to FAQ thread

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32332878/98a485b3bf287bb748ed5537e5e296d59f3f58a5.jpg Sigma Theory is finally out of Early Access! The 1.0 update is available to download from Steam now! The current game has nothing in common with the one we've released 7 months ago. We've worked hard fixing bugs, improving feedbacks, adding content, fine-tuning mechanics and balancing gameplay with your feedback and support to come up with the best version of the game you get today! Making a game like this with so much novelty is not an easy task and we're grateful you've sticked up with us during the past months. Some of you hated the game, some of you loved the game. But we've listened to everyone because, at the end of the day, we're making games for the players, not for ourselves. The experience of developing the game with you along was enlightening for the whole team and it is something we'll do again for our next game *cough* Out There: Oceans of Time *cough*.

So, again, on behalf of the team: THANK YOU.

Save the President... Or not?

The long-awaited Early Access update 0.20 for Sigma Theory is now available on Steam. The first Story Mode campaign is now playable and adds a whole new storyline to the base game with interactive dialogues involving new characters. Depending on your decisions, you will discover different endings, each unlocking a new recruitable agent.

We need your feedback on this one to know if we are on the right track. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32332878/f2d2aa924c07788ce8f61ceb7207dba75531ccfb.jpg A new batch of influencers has joined Domingo into the Sigma Division.

OT: Oceans of Time is more than a sequel though. While it keeps the core mechanics of the original game (roguelike, resource management and interactive fiction), it delivers them in a much more ambitious manner and will offer completely new features. As you can see in the teaser trailer, the game is going full 3D with a hand-painted art style. It is the studio's most ambitious project yet and we're pretty excited! Thanks to our publisher Modern Wolf for supporting us in this crazy adventure. Out There: Oceans of Time is planned to release on PC, mobile and consoles. Join our Discord to follow the development and discuss with the developers! You can already wishlist Out There: Oceans of Time on Steam. We're also happy to announce that Out There: Ω Edition will get 'The Alliance' content update later this year.

Spouse mechanic rework, new hacking UI, Steam Workshop integration and a couple new characters. And, as always, gameplay balancing and bug fixes.

Steam Workshop

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7403583/9690be45af2712d947a9a2735ce6aaba9c8379b2.jpg Agent creation You can now create the agents of your dreams! With the simple in-game tools, you can create and share original characters in minutes. Everything is customizable: traits, origin, portrait... Custom localization If you feel like localizing the game in your own language, it is now possible via the in-game tools or a simple CSV file for easy team work. Feel free to share your localization to the Steam community via the workshop! We’ll improve the UI and add new features progressively.

Spouse mechanics rework

The spouse mechanics was one of the weakest feature at launch and it was one of the most requested change from the community. We’ve worked hard since then to make this feature more relevant and challenging. We can’t wait to have your feedback on this.

New characters

New agent : Domingo https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7403583/48af4cf094cf9f7d9bc6e4955d573efcbbe861ad.png As an e-sport champion with numerous international awards, PAB12 is an enigma: no one knows his real identity. He is young, talented, and already famous. His anonymity is partly explained by his secret activities: addicted to the intensity of e-sport, he began to participate in clandestine competitions as well as illegal poker tournaments. As a result, while in mafia circles, he discovered the trafficking of humans, animals, weapons and drugs, activities that he decided to fight personally, less out of a spirit of justice than out of a search for the excitement of putting his life on the line. An excellent knife fighter, it was mainly through hacking and cunning that he succeeded in placing the police on the path of the traffickers, as in a strategy game. With his modern and complete vision of the world, PAB12 is an agent with undeniable potential. New character : Combat Drone Operator https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7403583/71fad5ff65ec454271854c680edd9ce467bb46a0.jpg This guy will say hi next time you’ll order a strike.

New hacking UI

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7403583/6a56eb65b3039fbcd994495a0350ff96a7c43189.jpg We’ve created a completely new hacking user interface. As always, feel free to share your feedback in the forum or on the Discord server.

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7403583/c13e09af8ef3708115d55f1573d4555da14c774e.jpg Dear agents, please welcome update 0.17! This update brings a new game mode and makes the end game more challenging with the end game balancing. The UI got some polish here and there for your convenience. And, of course, more bugs have been fixed. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7403583/47cab9c2de2ebc753e12e5a3fbaf8ae24a1ae4cd.png

Custom Mode

When starting a new game, you can now choose between ‘Classic’ or ‘Custom’ mode. Custom mode lets you tweak game mechanics to fit your needs. We’ve created some presets you can start off with : ‘Easy’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Hard’. Leaderboards, achievements and agent unlock are disabled when playing a custom game. If you have some suggestions about options that could be added, please let us know! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7403583/7f6fb586cb457baf134799dab2765c1c27c31eb6.png

End game balancing

To make the end game more challenging, the AIs will now be able to develop the Sigma project as well. So you’ll have to be more aggressive and disrupt your opponents research if you want to win the technological race. Good luck with that!

What’s up next

Modding tools (via Steam Workshop) are taking life slowly and we hope to have a first iteration for you in the next update. We are firstly aiming at localization tools and character creation (agents and diplomats). Spouse mechanics rework and new scoring system are also on the way.

We’re very happy to see the list of showstoppers decreasing dramatically, which means we’ll be able to focus more on new content and features in the next updates. New content Speaking of new content, we have added a new and mysterious agent that will appear in-game if specific events are triggered. One thing we can tell is that this agent will never let you down and it might become your best friend. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7403583/91d2cd1b55a779f6c57177e53fdb9a7bce64979e.jpg Quality of life We've fixed the last (hopefully) UI related glitches and freezes. The game should be hassle free from now on! Also, language settings won't set back to default anymore. What's up next? We’ve made good progress on the first ‘Story Mode’. So here’s a bit more info about it! Each Story Mode will have a unique storyline with missions and dialogues involving new and unique characters with multiple endings. Each ending will unlock a specific character from the Story Mode for recruitment. Needless to say we can’t wait to share the first ‘Story Mode’ with you! But you'll have to wait a few more weeks before experiencing it!

Gameplay/Balancing In this update, we continued our effort to balance the Diplomacy, and make it less easier to acquire scientists. Our goal is to progrssively move the meta toward the exfiltration as the main solution to get scientists as it was originally intended. This will ramp up the overall difficulty of the game and make Strength based agents more useful. We will listen to your feedback and continue to tweak the diplomacy mechanics in future updates if needed. Graphics Each country now has a unique color flavors during exfiltrations to add variety. We’ve also added new and shiny Soviet buildings that you’ll discover during your missions in Russia. Quality of life As widely requested, there is now an option to skip the dialogue animations entirely. For exotic resolutions, you can now resize the game window to fit your screen accordingly.
