You, the overseer, awake on the great Arkship, on its mission to lead humankind to the stars. Something is not right however, as the colonists have been unfrozen too early, and the ship was not meant to sustain as many humans at once.

Expand its capacity, provide for the people on the ship, make sure they stay happy and sane.

Start up the factories that produce the what you need. Scavenge old resource stashes, and ultimately repair the engine malfunction, in order to complete your journey.

The ship has limited space, and it will run out, unless expansion is carefully managed. Plan your moves carefully, and good luck!

This is our entry for Ludum Dare 42, hope you enjoy!

Is this game a metaphor?

Fancy Game, nice aesthetic

Visuals are really good

Very cool game!

nice looking game !

Oh I like this. It's incredible how many functions and models you've made on three days. The atmosphere is nice and the game is challenging an entertaining way. Even with the nice little introduction it took me a while to figure out to place out buildings and especially replace homes. The thing I missed the most though... an exit button! ^^

Liked the mood. Took me awhile to figure out what I was supposed to do. Then everything caught fire and people got angry at me.

Good looking game, with some nice mechanics and some good sound design!

It told me to leftclick to repair but that didn't do anything so I gave up. Overall seems very nice though, tons of models and good graphics and some eerie music.

Fantastic graphics! the music really adds to the mood. The mechanics of how everything works were a little confusing, but the atmosphere was super cool!

Greaat graphics for 72h ours!
Looking forward to other games from your part don't hesitate to try mine!

Game looks pretty good but runs poorly at higher resolutions.

Plukers14 Aug 2018, 18:57

Hey, great game! I can't believe that you managed to do this in 72 hours.
The graphics are great, the gameplay feels good. I didn't entirely understand what happend around me, but I liked to see how everything started to grow.
It would be great if the ui would provide some more information. I didn't quite know how many factories of what type I need and how long the current number will suffice.
Thanks for your great submission!

I couldn't figure out what to do :/ Nice looking game though

BlueBlu14 Aug 2018, 19:07

not very immersive, hard to play and animations were wooden. gave up after 1 attempt

Liven14 Aug 2018, 19:12

Great ambiance and visuals. Good idea too.

But I définitly prefer watching people turning on riots than running and building stuff...

LoneHearts14 Aug 2018, 21:03

nice visual

DrEvilBrain14 Aug 2018, 23:34

Really pretty game. The game gets pretty hectic since the colonists build so fast later on. Really hard to keep up.

Also the engineer model kinda reminds me of Lord Phobos (the guitarist) from Tupperware Remix Party.

Nice rendering and concept.
Consider adding a more distinct background so we get our bearings more easily, maybe use an arrow on the map instead of a dot.

Nice graphic
