  • Alien Horizon gameplay with Orbital Potato! A sci-fi survival city builder set on an inhospitable alien planet. Faced with imminent destruction of Earth, humanity pooled together their resources and sent sleeper ships to nearby potentially habitable planets. But this one turned out to be much less habitable than expected....

    Unless I am missing something, the free one is "Alien Horizon (Preview Alpha)", it doesn't sound like an actual "free game", just something in development that is currently free to play.

    i dont know why but the ship looks like its crashed backwards

    • @henoch44

      because it was trying to slow down with it's main engines...before it crashed.

      @catcat71gaming94 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +17

      Because of how orbital maneuvering works it would be moving backwards because it would be trying to slow down by firing its engines in the direction of travel

    Think I'm going to install this one and play a bit, this looks like it could be very promising. Even like the touch with the ship landing backwards which is realistic.

    Love the aesthetics but it lacks an existential threat that makes these kinds of games so much more fun. I mean, whats the point of building stuff if not to defend against the invaders in whatever form?

    Yes, I have played quite far.
    It has a problem, that has made me give up on it:
    The further you get into the game, the more unstable it gets, and crashes annoyingly often.

    • @IstasPumaNevada
      @IstasPumaNevada 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      That is not unexpected of an alpha build. This is a free preview build of a not-yet-complete game.
      If you liked it enough to play it a lot, keep an eye on it for when it's finished.

    00:51 Interesting how that ship landed backwards. Why shape it aerodynamicly if you're going to fly in arse-first 😆. Sure I can understand it if it was using the rear thrust as breaking thrust, but why make it aerodynamic front to back if that's the case?

    • @Dragoninja26
      @Dragoninja26 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      if you want to slow down, isn't it *not* being aerodynamic, in the direction you're slowing down, helpful? It actually makes sense, the question is why the others are front-first

    • @rogerexcell249
      @rogerexcell249 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      @@Dragoninja26 True, but then you'd slow down too much and stall, dropping like a rock. It makes sense to reverse break in orbit on planetary aproach and in a vacuum the aerodynamics are pointless, but once you reach geostationary orbit it makes more sense to reverse and enter forwards so aerodynamics reduces resistance and thus re-entry heat. Its definitely backwards!

    • @IstasPumaNevada
      @IstasPumaNevada 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Perhaps it lost control before crashing. If it's a spaceship its design may not have been focusing on absolute aero stability as a priority, like planes tend to.

    • @Inanimate-Object
      @Inanimate-Object 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +8

      Interestingly enough, that is the most “realistic” detail for a space faring vessel.
      In order to slow down, a ship must turn 180 degrees and use its main thrusters to reduce its speed, as small RCS thrusters are unlikely to overcome the inertia of the ship.
      The ship does not seem to have wings or a control surface so it would not be able to glide to a crash landing.
      Fantasy elements can be introduced to get around this, like the antigrav drives of Star Wars.

      @@Inanimate-Object The other ships sitting here which have landed forwards then make almost no sense though. I guess it can justify why there are no survivors in them =) But that's far-fetched =)

    When did city builders become "survival" games? I mean, surviving is part of almost every game, right? Isn't a city-builder where you have to survive just a city-builder? I alway feel that they're parsimonious with the land in games like these. The map could be near-infinite from a hardware standpoint.

      Surviving Mars uses wind and solar at the start but moves on to radio thermal generation and fusion later on. The reason is mass limits and funding limits for the earliest phase. If you can do interstellar or easy interplanetary travel, nuclear is easy and plentiful.
