About Project Skylab 3: A New Frontier

Project Skylab 3: A New Frontier is going to make Algebra three-dimensional, engaging, and non-isolating. In the game, you are stranded on the surface of Mars due to a catastrophic accident. You will learn how to solve basic to more complex Algebra problems in your pursuit to escape Mars, but danger lurks around every corner. Armed soldiers are patrolling the facilities and will shoot you on site; there is also an army of corrupted cybernetic killer robots hunting for you. Your goal is simple: find a way to escape Mars alive. You will have to use your arsenal of weapons to fend off heavily equipped soldiers, as well as the cybernetic killer robots. You will also have your trusty weaponized rover to guide you across the red planet. The Mars landscape is 4x4 miles, so have fun exploring. Hint, great rewards will be yielded to one that is adventurous. The goal of the game is to create a comfortable, relaxing, and fun learning environment for students.

IMPORTANT: This is a BETA build of Project Skylab 3: A New Frontier. I am a college student and the sole developer of this game. The game still needs some work, but it is a MASSIVE improvement over Project Skylab 2. I have read all your feedback in regards to Project Skylab 2, and have implemented to the best of my abilities the suggested changes and improvements. I am incredibly grateful to you the players for all of your incredible support! I hope you enjoy this new game! Any feedback is much appreciated!

Cheers!

✦ AI summary

Project Skylab 3 has an interesting concept blending sci-fi gameplay with educational algebra content and decent visual appeal, but the game is plagued by serious technical issues that make it nearly unplayable on modern systems—including full screen display problems, mouse input failures, and poor optimization. Players also criticize the balance between shooting and math elements, with some feeling the game actively resists being played, while others find the overall experience repetitive and boring.

Projecy Skylab 3: A New Frontier is an abandoned early access first person shooter/eductational game intended to teach algebra in an entertaining science fiction format. Unfortunately, deeper discussion of the minutae of the game is impossible. While the screenshots make the game look appealing, there's very serious deal breaking technical flaws. The game simply does not display properly in full screen. Resolution is locked and can't be changed, but overscan/DPI issues prevent the mouse from being used properly in full screen mode. In windowed mode, the mouse goes outside the window, preventing some of the menus from being used. Put simply, the game is unplayable on modern systems due to hamfisted design and lack of basic software testing. It's also poorly optimised, but given the game can't be played, this is a moot point. The developer took people's early access money for the game, then made it free, without bothering to finish the game (almost 3 years since and update!). In a surprise to nobody, no refunds were made, the developer took the money and ran. It's impossible to recommend this abandoned, broken "game".

Игра 'Project Skylab 3: A New Frontier' - приятное продолжение серии. Графика улучшилась, космос стал еще более атмосферным, чувствуется масштаб и одиночество. Сюжетная линия, хотя и не блещет оригинальностью, держит в напряжении и заставляет сопереживать персонажам. Развитие базы и управление ресурсами реализовано интересно, но порой кажется немного затянутым. Некоторые миссии кажутся однообразными, но в целом исследование новых планет и открытие технологий доставляют удовольствие. Боевая система простая, но эффективная, особенно в сочетании с прокачкой корабля. В целом, 'A New Frontier' - это добротная космическая стратегия, которая подойдет как фанатам серии, так и тем, кто ищет расслабляющий геймплей в открытом космосе. Есть куда расти, но потенциал чувствуется. Рекомендую к ознакомлению!
