A downloadable game for Windows

This is an unfinished project from Ludum Dare 47. I don't see myself working on this project anymore.

The Vision:

You are Unit 87, activated to complete Project GAIA. Successfully completing the mission will require you to manage resources, explore space, and upgrade and repair workstations. Hold your ship together until you cross the finish line.

The Reality:

You move between navigation and helm until you have enough power to activate the GAIA station over a specific type of planet. There are no events, upgrades, or station repair. I had concept art for many more stations, but didn't have time to implement them. This is why the ship is so empty. Also, I had planned to add NPC interactions with a conversation and trading system after the game jam.

Controls: move with A and D. Left shift to sprint.

  • Sensors and Navigation - view the area and objects around you
    • Grey - asteroid
    • Green - planet
    • Yellow - ship
    • Black - mined asteroid
  • Helm - bearing and throttle control
  • GAIA - used to activate the project; shows prerequisites
  • Power - view ship's energy level

NOTE: Basically every workstation has unimplemented UI. If it doesn't appear to do anything, it probably doesn't.
