Update! (August 2024)

Just a simple update so you know the game is progressing. We are moving closer to a good stable state with a healthy amount of content for EA release!

Lots of new and polished things, but I'm just going to focus on a few here.


First here is a showing of the main section again, much improved and polished for a much better atmosphere: wind, footstep sounds, particles, efficient grass, etc

(Youtube video quality might be bad, sorry)

This is the overview of active seeds, you will be able to upgrade to increase max limit:



This will be the idle seeds: Seeds can be placed into an idle state. Then depending on the goals achieved and resources produced with them, they will then keep producing resources. Better, smarter and harder you work on them and cultivate them, the more resources they produce. Balancing this is going to be one of the hardest tasks! lol). You cannot access them again once put into this state. Only delete, replace or put on pause. There will be stats to upgrade affecting them, maybe even modifiers later on. (It's still work in progress so forgive the incomplete and filler info and ugliness):



Overview of Seed ultimate missions (This was in the last demo, it's just the central hub of the overarching missions of the whole playthrough):



Lots of upgrades:



Shop and order system (Orders as in requests for specific items, this gives you great rewards):



This shows your lab and galaxy scanner (names not final!). These are like idle missions of an expanding scanner system where you can use drones/bots to clear the way and discover more and also mine resources:






A lot more has changed and been improved, but that's all I want to show for now. There is a healthy amount of systems and mechanics now. I am polishing and building them up more everyday. It's basically the end of a phase of adding the new features for Early Access release and that's definitely a milestone. The other new features will be saved for after EA and will be shown later on a roadmap. (Things like weather control, time machine, more kinds of drones or drone advancements, etc)

Thank you all for being patient so far. The game is progressing, no solid dates yet. It's been tough at times but the game is coming!

Thank you and see you soon!
