What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This project is in a stage of development where it functions but still requires testing, balancing, quality-of-life improvements, and additional feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This is being developed by a solo developer, so updates will be coming as coming slowly. The exit from early access will be after a few major updates, following feedback.”

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

“The full version will contain polish and user feedback, but overall, the same content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The project is still in the early stages of development, and probably 70% of the gameplay loop is complete. Most of the visuals and graphics are temporary and will be replaced in future updates. The core mechanics are what have been focused on, however, there are still steps to finalize the complete gameplay loop.”

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

“The early access will be free, but the price will change upon leaving early access. However, the price will not change as more content gets released.”

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

“Feedback from the community is greatly welcome. There will be devlogs where people can provide input, in addition to play testing.”

About This Game

Survive the galaxy. Meet your quota. Choose the right lifeforms.

In Novagene, you are responsible for selecting alien life suitable for colonizing distant planets. Each day begins by choosing between two planets, each with its own environmental requirements that determine which traits are needed for survival.

Choose Your Destination

At the start of each run, select one of two available planets. Each planet favors specific biological traits, and your success depends on identifying which organisms are best suited for that environment.

Analyze Alien Traits

Examine incoming alien specimens and determine whether they meet the planet’s requirements. Current traits include:

  • Fur

  • Scales

  • Smooth skin

Only the right traits will allow a species to survive on its assigned world.

Meet the Daily Quota

Send qualified specimens to the colony to meet your daily quota. Choosing the wrong traits may jeopardize your success, so careful selection is key.

Your Mission

Select the correct alien lifeforms and fulfill your quota to support interplanetary colonization efforts.
