OutFly
OutFly is an atmospheric, open world, realistic 3D space game that throws you into the Rings of Jupiter with a self-sufficient sportswear space suit that will take you anywhere.
Imagine a blend of Fallout and Outer Wilds with a splash of Firefly, where you are free to explore the breathtaking expanse of the Jupiter system and discover what life could be like after hundreds of years of space colonization.
This game aims to respect the player as much as possible. It doesn't waste your time: Despite the vastness of space, nothing takes too long. Speed cheats are active by default, allowing you to visit places you normally couldn't, without passing out from the g-forces. There are no anxiety-causing features (apart of, maybe, space itself), no loading screens, nothing to micromanage, not even save games. You can plunge into the game any time you feel like it, and it's up to you whether you just want to soak in the beautiful scenery, engage with the survival mechanics [still in development], or dive into the game story [still in development]. And finally, it's not just DRM-free but completely open source, allowing you to tinker on any part of the game to your liking.

Running OutFly
System Requirements
- Screen/keyboard/mouse
- Operating System: Linux, Windows, Mac
- A graphics card with vulkan support
Running on Linux
- Download and unpack the latest release: https://codeberg.org/hut/outfly/releases
- Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you unpacked outfly
- If you are on ArchLinux, type the following commands. For other distributions, replace "pacman -S" with the distro's command to install packages. Also, the packages may be called slightly differently.
pacman -S glibc libcap gcc-libs alsa-lib systemd-libs
./outfly
If your graphics card does not support vulkan, try setting the environment variable WGPU_BACKEND=gl
: (will result in poor performance)
WGPU_BACKEND=gl ./outfly
Alternatively, you can also install OutFly as a package, if your distribution has one. This will place OutFly in your "start menu". As of writing, only an ArchLinux AUR package exists, which you can install with this command:
yay -S outfly-git
Running on Windows
- Download and unpack the latest release: https://codeberg.org/hut/outfly/releases
- Double-click on
OutFly.exe
Running on MacOS / Android / iOS
No releases for these operating systems exist yet. For MacOS, you can build OutFly yourself using the instructions below. Support for Android/iOS is planned for the future.
Building
If there is no package for the version or operating system that you need, or if you wish to tinker on the game, you can also build outfly yourself.
For development, it's recommended to use --features dev
to enable dynamic linking for faster compile times, e.g. like this:
cargo [run|build] --features dev
On Linux
Install the build dependencies. On ArchLinux, it's the following, though you can replace rust
with rustup
:
pacman -S rust libx11 pkgconf alsa-lib
Then run the following commands, replacing [URL]
with the clone URL of the git repository:
git clone [URL]
cd outfly
cargo run --release
NOTE: Audio is muted by default when run through cargo run
, unless you add --release
Building for Windows on Linux
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
pacman -S mingw-w64-toolchain # on ArchLinux. other distros have their equivalent package
cargo build --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu --release
More information here: https://bevy-cheatbook.github.io/setup/cross/linux-windows.html
Building on Mac OS
Install homebrew, and then get the following dependencies:
brew install pkg-config molten-vk rustup
rustup-init
Download, compile and run the game:
git clone [URL]
cd outfly
cargo run --release
Building for WASM/Browser
This is a work in progress, for now these are just some general hints:
git clone [URL]
cd outfly
rustup target install wasm32-unknown-unknown
pacman -S wasm-bindgen binaryen
mkdir outfly_wasm
cargo build --release --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
wasm-bindgen --out-name outfly --out-dir outfly_wasm --target web target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/outfly.wasm
wasm-opt -Oz --output wasm/outfly_bg.wasm wasm/outfly_bg.wasm
echo '<script type="module">import init from "./outfly.js"; init()</script>' > wasm/index.html
python -m http.server -d wasm
