The alpha version of UFO Chaser is out now on itch.io!
UFO Chaser is an atmospheric simulation game about taking pictures of UFOs. Settle into a comfy cabin for the weekend and enjoy the changing seasons of northern Michigan while you keep your eyes on the skies for anomalous aerial phenomena.
Alpha release
The alpha version of UFO Chaser contains its core mechanics and gives a feel for the game’s basic loop:
– Watch the skies for aerial phenomena, from everyday airplanes to mysterious crafts and creatures
– Fill your journal with photographs of UFOs
– Earn money and share your best evidence with fellow UFO chasers by sending your photos to UFO Chaser Magazine
– Export your favorite photos to your computer
– Upgrade your tracking and photography equipment to get the best-quality evidence
What is coming next
There is still plenty of work to be done! There are some known bugs in this alpha release, as well as some features that have yet to be fully fleshed out. Upcoming updates will include bug fixes, additional features, and expanded content. Content updates will expand the types of UFOs, equipment and upgrades, and evidence that can be collected. In the future, you will be able to leave the bedroom to go camping in various locations around northern Michigan.
You can download the alpha now from Itch.io
