MOTHERSHIP

Originally created for <a href="http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-36/?action=preview&uid=110017" target="_blank">Ludum Dare 36</a>.

I've decided to continue this project. The concept is being recreated from the ground up and the first pre-alpha prototype will be uploaded here as soon as the initial gameplay, graphics and UI are done.
Lol nope :c

The game's description and gameplay presented here will remain for the time being but will change when the new version is uploaded.

« ABOUT »

This is a simulation/management game where you rebuild your ship and explore a procedurally generated galaxy for resources.

Your objective is to research the ancient artifact to its completion (100%) and keep the oxygen levels above 0. Each crew member consumes oxygen and carbon (aka food) periodically.

When harvesting planets, there is a small chance find new crew members or lose existing ones. New crew members will be assigned a random role (Builder, Scientist or Harvester). Scientists will automatically consume silicon to advance the artifact research progress.

Click the 'HELP' button for more information.

NOTE: You cannot interact with the crew screen or reassign roles, and the ship building is purely cosmetic.

This entry was inspired by Dwarf Fortress, EVE Online, Aurora and Prison Architect.
