TechRadar Gaming: Best of Summer Game Fest 2026

  • "One member was shorting the bread market, upsetting many other citizens. The government imposed a temporary 100% tax on bread to bankrupt him. It worked. The citizens still voted their governor out in the next election." — PC Gamer

  • "Profoundly impressed by the game's construction and deeply interactive systems." — RPGamer

  • "SEED's scope is something that needs to be experienced to believe" — DualShockers

Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“SEED is a highly ambitious game that is a full society simulator, therefore the list of features and content is ever-evolving and unbounded. Our Early Access is a core foundation with a limited set of base-game features that we’re continually adding to with every release. The complex systems we’ve built encourage emergent gameplay that necessitates us to iterate those systems, re-balance the in-game economy and create the right content to ensure on full release the world and the gameplay are as they should be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for at least a two year phase of continual releases and updates before we reach a version that would move us out of Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will differ in the depth of the world, this will be evidenced by the number of features and systems that we plan to introduce. Some examples of that would be: crime and punishment, weather systems, natural disasters, inter-society trading and diplomacy.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We are currently in version 0.3 with our next milestone planned for 0.4. Each release will see a set of new features and bug fixes, as well as re-balancing.
”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We actively include our community in the development process. We take weekly pulse surveys and plan our work based on that, as well as having a group of dedicated Player Advocates, who have their own Discord channel and talk directly to game developers. We do weekly AMAs on Twitch and Discord and test prototypes of features as they’re being developed with our community. We hold community involvement to be a core part of our development process, and are proud of the relationship we’ve created with our player community.

About This Game

START A WORLD

SEED is a persistent, player-driven MMO that simulates humanity in a world that never sleeps.

Welcome to Avesta, a planet where humanity has a second chance to define its future. Every character, known as a Seedling, is a bio-engineered human who works, sleeps, and socializes based on their own schedule. Seedlings coexist autonomously in the same shared, persistent world, working together and forming lasting connections, even while you’re offline.

Built by former EVE Online developers, the planet of Avesta is truly persistent, evolving over time based on the decisions of the Seedlings and you, their beloved Cultivators.

THE STAKES ARE REAL

In SEED, survival is a collaborative effort: if you don’t produce food, others don't eat; if others don't build shelter, you have nowhere to stay. Because the simulation runs around the clock, the stakes are high; failure to maintain your community’s production could mean the permanent death of your Seedlings.

DEEP INTERACTION

SEED leverages Perspective, a system that allows Seedlings to think, feel and from true emergent relationships with each other and, you, the Cultivator. Talk directly to your characters via the Seedling Chat, with every conversation having a lasting impact on the development of your Seedlings and the surrounding society.

PLAYER-DRIVEN EVERYTHING

From the smallest chair to the most complex machinery, every item in Avesta is gathered, crafted and sold by players in a completely player-driven economy. As your camp grows into a city, you must navigate the challenges of collaborative governance. Form shared societies and define your own laws, ranging from fair democracies to strict authoritarian dictatorships.

BUILD A LASTING LEGACY

In this single-shard MMO, everyone shares the same world. Seedlings have life cycles and eventually pass away, so your decisions carry long-term weight. The relationships, conflicts and history they build with one another leave a lasting mark on Avesta, shaping the course of humanity.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Currently, we use AI to modify some of the character voices featured in the game. Additionally, we are planning to introduce several features that leverage Generative AI, including:
- Seedling Speech Bubbles: AI-generated dialogue for Seedlings to enhance their interactions.
- Seedling Thought Bubbles: AI-generated internal thoughts to give Seedlings more personality and depth.
- Seedling Responses: AI-driven replies to messages that players send to their Seedlings.
- PAM, our in-game player guide uses a text database to answer player questions
- Schedulor App has text generated to describe the activities players choose for their characters.
- There is an in-game social network called Spark, and Seedlings generate their own occasional posts and selfies there.We also have Spark & Selfies.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This Game may contain content not appropriate for all ages, or may not be appropriate for viewing at work: Suggestive Themes, Strong Language, and Use of Alcohol. General Mature Content. Nudity is censored in-game and there are no genitalia, much like a child’s doll.
