Really like the look of this game so far, it's on Kickstarter at the moment - a strategy/management game influenced by Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital, in space.
Only £10 for the game and all updates, similar to the way Minecraft works.
In 2113 the human race began its first extra solar colonisation program. One of the targets of this endeavour was Maia.
Maia, sitting a mere twelve light years away in the Tau Ceti system, was a world in flux. Due to its home in a dense debris field, the planet had been subject to constant meteor impacts on its surface. The energy released into the planet's crust distorted the magnetosphere, leading to frequent storms of dangerous ultraviolet and X-ray radiation that scour the surface of all but the hardiest of life.
The colonization process had commenced almost twenty years earlier. Barrages of satellites equipped with powerful solid state lasers were placed in geosynchronous orbit around the planet. Their mission to slow and deflect major meteoric threats. The dense volcanic atmosphere was then seeded with sulfur, in an effort to calm and cool it. After a brief fourteen years of orbital terraforming, earth's political elites deemed the planet safe for human settlement, despite little being known about the surface.
After an outcry from the scientific community, a brief study was commissioned and the planets surface was found to be: "Mostly harmless".
Mostly.
Gameplay
You must excavate an underground colony to escape the hostile surface of the world. Mine minerals for construction, build rooms to house, feed and entertain your colonists and defenses to protect them from dangerous wildlife.
Research sources of power, water and food. Explore the surface and perform science to produce the technology you need to survive your new home.
