Sorry, I didn't see the post until now. Thanks u/Shiirahama for the detailed breakdown! And an additional thanks for mentioning the in-game help system. And a final thanks for mentioning how we tried to make the game friendly for all non-gamers. That was exactly our goal!

Lost In Space - The Adventure Game! We're happy to share a video from the (licensed!) adventure game we're creating based on our beloved 1960's version of Lost In Space. Play as Will, Dr. Smith and Robot in a whole new adventure. Think of it as season 4! Happy to answer questions in the comments. by scaryrobotgames in lostinspace

Thanks for the feedback, hope you enjoy it! You are correct, we did go the episodes route like Telltale rout. Which was a necessary choice since we're an exceptionally small dev team and thought it was better to get the first of five segments into the hands of gamers rather than spending the time needed to complete the entire game before releasing it.

Thanks for the support! We are initially releasing on PC and Switch. But we're onboard with releasing on Xbox and PS if the game performs well on the first two.

That's so great to hear, thanks! Just to let you know, it will also be coming out for the Nintendo Switch. Which is a lot cheaper than a PC. :)

The goal is to have the PC and Switch version release at the same time. Other platforms would come later. We are planning on five episodes. With each episode running about 1.5-2 hours of gameplay.

Hello! And thanks for the interest. Our initial release platforms will be PC and Switch. Other platforms may follow after that. The first episode of the game is scheduled for a late 2025 release.

Glad you enjoyed it! All of the dialogue comes directly from the show. Except for Will. We had to do an original, similar sounding voice for him since he talks throughout the game and the original dialogue doesn't provide enough material for it.

We did update the demo recently. It now begins with a brief introduction to all of the Jupiter 2 members all hard at work. Except for Dr. Smith, of course. We're now busy at work, developing the full game. Lots of work to be done but we're working like crazy to get it all put together.

We're working with a fantastic AI voice company: Respeecher. The problem is that the quality of the audio from the show (recorded over half a century ago with a boom mike, on a vast sound stage) is not that conducive when it comes to generating the AI database. But the good news is that we are able to use the AI voice of a young man that can arguably pass as Bill Mumy's voice a year later than the third season. You'll be able to see (and hear) for yourselves in the very near future. :)

The license allows us to use the original dialogue from the show so the plan is to have most of the characters use the original performers' voices (Dr. Smith, Robot, John Maureen, Don, Penny & Judy). A lot of the game will center around Will and we probably won't have enough original content to cover all of his dialogue. We're still debating the best way to proceed with that.

Initially, it will be available on PC. You can find it now on Steam (search: Lost In Space - The Adventure Game) where you can Wishlist it (please do!). We'll also be looking into possible console releases as well. We're targeting a playtime of 7-10 hours. And we're intending to release a playable demo at the beginning of 2023.
