Get ready to be the exofarmer you’ve always wanted to be Light year limit offers a full-fledged adventure, either alone or with up to 3 friends online, when it launches in Xbox Game Preview on March 19th on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC and with Game Pass!

Light year limit brings a farming twist to mech-based gameplay – offering a new take on the farming simulation genre – and allowing you to live out your wildest pastoral fantasies in a whole new world. Board your mech and leave your interstellar homestead as you collect new materials, create a sustainable environment, and discover the ancient secrets of this new world. So we took two very different genres and combined them to create something unique.

Discover a brave new world in a whole new way

After landing on an alien planet, all you have left is your trusty mech and a beautiful, unknown world to explore. If you’re starting from scratch, it won’t be long before you’re chopping down trees for wood, drilling through boulders for stones, and plowing through your crops to earn a wealth of resources that you’ll use to build your very own homestead and can make the place your own.

With a whole new twist on the farming genre, Light year limit puts you in the pilot’s seat of your own ‘Mech. Use combat-oriented tools like a chainsaw and a seed-loaded machine gun in a non-violent way, because instead of fighting wildlife, use your arsenal to gather resources, shoot seeds into the ground, water plants, etc. and clean up the environment and make it livable for you and your friends.

Harvest new plants and turn them into materials for buildings or upgrades for your own Mech. This will strengthen its basic abilities and give you new tools in the process. You can even personalize your mech’s visual style as you wish, without sacrificing improvements, ensuring that the world and mech you create remains your own.

Be the pilot you always wanted to be

The idea of Light year limit is to adopt the formula established in games like Stardew Valley and offer players something completely new. In the early days of development, it was clear that a departure from the genre was needed while maintaining the cozy farming feel that similar games embody. Our team at Frame Break was tinkering with the idea of ​​using robot characters in a previous project, and it quickly became clear that this was the hook we needed.

Take inspiration from classic science fiction films, such as: Aliensand games like Starcraft 1 & 2, a running theme of mech suits, became apparent and brought up the idea of ​​becoming an exofarmer on an unknown world. Watching and experiencing these classic science fiction stories showed the satisfying nature of mechs in carrying out everyday activities, which translated perfectly into what we wanted Light year limit to be.

Whether you’re chopping down trees or knocking over rocks to secure more resources, the feeling of piloting one of these mechs means players will experience the excitement previously seen in genre-defining works such as: Alienswithout the stress of fighting deadly monsters and instead taking on the fulfilling, leisurely farming tasks that the game invites players to try out.

Become one with your mech

A big focus in Light year limit is the encouragement to explore new realms with your massive mech suit. Not only will you be harvesting the crops and maintaining your homestead, but there’s also a wide open frontier to explore from the comfort of your pilot’s seat. Venture into the great unknown with your trusty mech and discover new secrets and mysteries around every corner.

As you delve deeper into the wilderness, you’ll find the mech becomes an extension of yourself, with a romantic movement that makes players feel both powerful and massive as every hill is climbed and every valley conquered becomes. The controls have been expertly designed to ensure that the weight of the suit is felt, but still has the ability to comb the land with ease, fulfilling our goal of creating an agricultural power fantasy.

It took extensive trial and error to ensure newcomers and mech gameplay veterans alike, from titles like Titanfall And Armored coreHe felt comfortable piloting the mech suit. Lessons have been learned over the years to create an experience that appeals to players of all genres and skill levels alike, so that the controls feel natural both on foot and in your mech. The end result is an adventure that offers an unprecedented approach to the farming genre and brings to life the childlike fantasy of piloting your own mech suit.
