🚨🌌 AURELIA IS AWAKENING! 🚀🔥
ATOMIC & ASTRA: THE NINTH HORIZON
ONE PLANET. TWO EXPLORERS. AN ENTIRE ALIEN UNIVERSE WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED.
Hello, itch.io community! 👋💙
I’m the independent developer behind CAPPS Studios, and I’m excited to introduce our original sci-fi survival adventure, Atomic & Astra: The Ninth Horizon, created using the Godot Engine.
We’ve been working on an ambitious science-fiction world filled with extraordinary creatures, mysterious alien civilisations, exploration, survival and adventure.
And now we’re preparing our biggest expansion yet!
WE’RE TURNING AURELIA INTO A MASSIVE, LIVING ALIEN WORLD! 🌍👽
Rather than rushing across multiple planets, we’ve decided to focus on completing one extraordinary world at a time.
And our first world is AURELIA.
🛸 YOUR ADVENTURE BEGINS ABOARD THE CAPPS SPACECRAFT
Meet Atomic and Astra, two original robotic explorers preparing to discover the mysteries of an unfamiliar alien planet.
Before landing, explore the CAPPS spacecraft and its interactive systems.
Our early development preview introduces:
🛸 A walkable spacecraft with nine interactive computer terminals
🥚 An onboard nursery for mysterious Terrabloom eggs
🐾 Original alien wildlife and Echo Hound companions
🌌 Cinematic space-to-surface planetary arrival
🌲 Alien wilderness exploration
🔥 Campfires and survival mechanics
🎣 Fishing, foraging and resource gathering
👽 Established extraterrestrial cultures and fascinating discoveries
But the real adventure is only beginning.
Something mysterious is awakening beneath Aurelia’s surface…
🔥 OUR BIGGEST EXPANSION IS IN DEVELOPMENT!
We’re taking the foundations of the current game and expanding them into a much deeper adventure.
👾 24 PLANNED ALIEN ENEMY TYPES
From fast-moving nocturnal hunters to enormous alien predators, flying creatures and formidable bosses.
We’re developing distinctive enemy behaviours, movements, attacks and survival challenges.
And when night falls…
KEEP YOUR CAMPFIRE BURNING! 🌙🔥
Because the creatures gathering beyond the light won’t stay away if your fire goes out.
❤️ COMPANIONS THAT FEEL ALIVE
We’re expanding our original alien animals with deeper personality and companionship systems.
🐾 Discover unique creature traits
💙 Build trust and lasting bonds
🥚 Rescue, nurture and hatch alien creatures
🎯 Train companions and teach commands
🌲 Explore, gather and survive together
🛡️ Help companions protect and support one another
Our original animal designs are being preserved. We’re expanding their behaviours and abilities, not replacing them.
🏙️ EPIC ALIEN CITIES AND CINEMATICS
Imagine approaching an enormous alien settlement for the first time.
The camera rises.
The music builds.
Magnificent extraterrestrial architecture appears through the clouds.
Creatures move across the landscape.
An entire alien civilisation comes alive before your eyes.
THIS IS THE EXPERIENCE WE’RE WORKING TOWARDS! 🎬
We’re planning cinematic city introductions, major story sequences, cultural encounters, quests, trading and settlement reputation systems.
🎯 150 MISSION BLUEPRINTS
Our expansion design includes an extensive collection of planned adventures:
⚔️ Main story missions
👽 Alien civilisation questlines
🐾 Companion rescue adventures
💎 Hidden treasure hunts
🌲 Wilderness expeditions
🔎 Ancient ruins and mysteries
🏙️ Settlement missions
🛸 Spacecraft restoration challenges
We want every corner of Aurelia to offer something worth discovering.
⛏️ MINING, CRAFTING, COOKING AND EXPLORATION
Our planned systems include:
💎 Rare minerals and valuable resources
⛏️ Mining professions
🔨 Crafting and equipment upgrades
🍓 Alien food and cooking recipes
🎁 Hidden treasure chests and rare discoveries
⚡ 45 trainable abilities across five specialisations
🏗️ Survival construction and machinery
There’s far more to Aurelia than simply travelling from one location to another.
🛸 REBUILD THE CAPPS SPACECRAFT!
A major part of our planned storyline involves restoring the ship after a mysterious power failure.
Explore Aurelia.
Collect resources.
Discover forgotten technology.
Repair damaged systems.
Restore communications, power, navigation and propulsion.
Every repair brings Atomic and Astra closer to discovering what happened and what lies beyond the horizon.
🤝 COOPERATIVE MULTIPLAYER — PLANNED
We’re also exploring cooperative multiplayer for the future.
Imagine joining friends to gather resources, complete missions, build settlements, train companions and defend your camp against dangerous nighttime creatures.
Multiplayer remains part of our development roadmap and is not currently advertised as a playable feature.
💙 ORIGINAL CHARACTERS. ORIGINAL ALIEN LIFE. ORIGINAL ADVENTURE.
Atomic and Astra remain exactly as originally designed.
Our established alien races, cultures, animals and companions are being preserved.
NO HUMAN CHARACTERS.
Just original robotic explorers, extraterrestrial civilisations, extraordinary creatures and an alien world full of imagination.
We’re building upon what we’ve already created.
NOT REPLACING IT. BRINGING IT TO LIFE.
