WTF IS THAT!? - Osiris: New Dawn [#2] (Let's Play Osiris New Dawn Walkthrough/Playthrough)
24So Sand Worms are a thing, apparently.
OSIRIS: NEW DAWN has landed on the Checkpoint! In this awesome new space/survival sim, you take on the role of a lone space traveller or space pirate in search of a means to survive the horrors of outer-space. Will I survive?
Osiris: New Dawn is set in the year 2046, in which humans are starting to venture into interplanetary travel. The player is sent to the Gliese 581 system by the United Nations of Earth (U.N.E.) as a member of the second colonization team. The team is sent out to study the planets to see if they are habitable.
The spacecraft malfunctions due to the light speed travel and crashes onto a deserted planet, which will become the player's starting planet.
In order to survive, the player must build a base while trying to prevail over the "unpredictable weather conditions"
Osiris: New Dawn was developed by Fenix Fire Entertainment, a two man team. Development started five years before it was first shown at the 2016 PAX West convention, where a single-player demo was presented. Fenix Fire's lead developer, Brian McRae, mentioned in an interview that instead of setting out with the desire to make a survival game, he started by addressing the setting. He took inspiration from many science fiction movies, including Prometheus (2012), Gravity (2013), and The Martian (2015). McRae said he hates survival games. The team's first priority was to make the player feel immersed in the game's environment. McRae said he wanted the player to feel "pushed and inspired by the [survival] systems", and quoted The Martian when he said players will have to "Matt Damon yourself out of it".
When Osiris: New Dawn was compared to No Man's Sky, one of the developers said that unlike No Man's Sky, they "want people to know what they’re getting".
It’s amazing to finally bring our passion project to gamers everywhere who share our fascination with near-future space exploration, what started as a simple idea has blossomed into a gaming experience far beyond what we thought was possible, surprising even ourselves and driving us to be more and more ambitious with what is possible in Osiris: New Dawn.

The game was published by Reverb Triple XP, an initiative of Reverb Communications. Reverb also represents Ark: Survival Evolved, another survival video game. The developers said Reverb helped with the crafting elements of the game. The developers mentioned they were from a "Nintendo background" and said they liked the ease of use in Nintendo games and how people are able to "just jump right in and everything is intuitive". McRae said it was an amazing feeling being able to share the game with people who shared their "fascination with near-future space exploration".
On September 16, 2016, it was announced that Osiris: New Dawn was going to be released onto the Steam Early Access program.[8] It was released on September 28, 2016, and the developers have plans to release the game onto consoles sometime in 2017.
