Played this recently after looking at sci-fi games through itch! I really enjoyed this game and will definitely continue till I finish. Here's a recorded playthrough of my first hour in the game!
This game looks beautiful!! Cogratulations!! For now i can't buy it but i love the aesthetics, and I'm interested in how you did it. Which lenguage did you use? I'm learing C++ and Python for game development and science. I hope you answer me. Greetings from Argentina.
Hi, i'm trying to get the square so I can get the blueprint off this planet but I cannot land on the platform it spawned on and it is too high up for me to jump up off the ground, please help :(((((((((
So I LOVE this game but two things I noticed. 1.) The extra oxygen tanks despawn whenever I reload my save. Not huge but a little annoying. 2.) The radio spawned on a planet that I landed on but I was quickly overpowered due to not having a lot of resources. I left to regroup but the marker went away and I couldn't find it again.
This is definitely my favorite sokpop game so far!! The controls are tight, the progression feels awesome, and the difficulty is significant. I just beat my first enemy base, and it feels like a big accomplishment!! The attention to detail is so cool... I like that you can easily tell what kind of resource is on a planet before you land. And the visual style/how planets and asteroid belts look from a distance is SO PRETTY and nice! I didn't have anything to do today, so I may have played this for 5 hrs straight LOL... overall, helionaut has so much polish that I'm shocked it's $3. Really well done!! (ര̀ᴗര́)و
really loved this, but forgot to pick up the TV kit after beating the big robot and now I can't find the base again, since once you beat the robots the direction marker goes away.
I guess my helionaut will just have to socialise with all the friendly freed robots from now on instead of spacing out in front of a screen. how unfortunate
Thank you! The game doesn't actually use models, but draws everything with lines, circles and triangles instead using a sort of self-made 3d engine within game maker. Might do a tutorial/example of this technique in the future!
please, pllleaseee do a tutorial. On that note, is there any way for a new patreon on joining to get the source code for an older game? I saw that at a certain level you get the source but I totally want to see how you did this game the most. I will drop as much money as needed to learn from a beauty like this
edit: I joined up and the source code was on the page with the other two, I think because of the special until the end of the month? Either way I’m super happy I found your page and can support these games now!

Me and a Robot picked up a gun at the same time. Both our arms were holding onto the gun. When I shot him to death the game crashed and gave me this message.
Not really, but I'm pretty sure it will work as it was made with an old version of Game Maker. You can also wait for the Steam release, as you can refund the game on that platform pretty easily if it doesn't work!
Ive had a lot of fun in the few hours I've sunk into this game! Well worth it :) The only issue I faced was when I respawned after dying on an astrobase and my ship spawned on top of terrain that I could not reach whatsoever, softlocking the game

Thank you! The game was made in Game Maker: Studio, but I encourage you to use any engine you want.
I love this game. Thanks for making it! Seems like a cross between pikmin and spore. Anyone know how to use the ship blaster on a keyboard?
Howdy! I just wanted to ask if this game was 32 or 64 bit?

keep exploring other planets!
Will that allow me to get the blueprint?
helloo. is there a way to still access the source code for helionaut? i would like to check if i still can before subscribing
highly reccomend. No Mans sky but it's cute and has better resource management. 6hr playtime

i was just wondering how you delete save files
On the file select screen, walk over to the computer terminal with WASD. Access it to delete the savefile!

This is an amazing little game, I enjoyed every last second of it! But is there any way to restart your save file?
In the file select screen, walk over to the computer (with WASD) and access the computer to delete your savefile.
Thank you :D
you made this on gms:2, right? HOW?!?!??!?! it's beautiful, didn't know game maker had support for 3D models.
great game, i love it!

i would be pleased to see a tutorial! :^)

Thanks for the report, will fix this in the next patch! (Edit: should be fixed now)
Im trying to play on mac but theres and error telling me it was unable to find the game.
Move the game to another folder, such as the desktop. This usually fixes it!

I can't wait to purchase this on steam, very excited! It looks awesome.
is there a way to check if this game would be compatible with my windows vista? just asking before i buy it
Not really, but I'm pretty sure it will work as it was made with an old version of Game Maker. You can also wait for the Steam release, as you can refund the game on that platform pretty easily if it doesn't work!
youre right, i bought it and it works! i was taking a bit of a risk when buying it, but like, im just really happy to finally be playing this game
Soon! I'll post a devlog when it's out.
(Edit: it's out now!)
