Outland 17 - Development Update

Grenade Tree posted their first update for Outland 17 on the Square Enix Collective with more information on the games story with a profile about G. Martin Wallace.

First comes first, the Outland 17 team would like give a huge shout out to the Square Enix community! We thank everyone for their participation in terms of votes and comments. A special shout out to Spovednik and LightCharles whose questions inspired a large portion of the content for this update.

A reoccuring theme is that this community wants to know more about the Outland 17 story, and where it may take you in during your revolution.

G. Martin Wallace, citizen of the People’s Republic of Earth, hears rumors of civil unrest in the colonies. Despite the official reports, Martin Wallace is compelled to validate these rumors for himself. The decision being made for him with the release of official reports confirming the implementation of martial law on Outland 3, an old colony in the asteroid belt.

In its prime Outland 3 was an ambitious and praised undertaking. A technological marvel set at the very edge of the new frontier. Built to stand the test of time, Outland 3’s primary role is to stripmine asteroids for raw materials for future colonies. Today, Outland 3 has fallen into the shadow of the colonies that it helped build.

The player starts with Martin Wallace landing on Outland 3 seeking out the truth. You help choose the direction of your revolution by gathering the people to organize a more effective force that can match the military force present on Outland 3. Every new member to the team unlocks new missions, new insights, and possibly a new path to win the Revolution.

Eventually your efforts will bring you to the doorstep of Outland 17 itself, but that’s all we can share with you guys so far. Again, we are really excited for the response and feedback that we’ve gotten from the community and look forward to talking to you guys more about the game!
