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?

“This is my 5th game in E.A. and I love the format. I'm a solo dev (with several long term contractors), so feedback I gather during E.A. is very useful and overall fits my style as a designer. My goals is to playtest the existing mechanics before full release, finetune them and introduce several new mechanics.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Somewhere between 6 and 18 months (most likely around 6-9 months).”

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

“Most mechanics will be fine-tuned, rebalanced and improved. New mechanics (governor traits and late game imperial court intrigue mechanic) will be added. Of course art and music will be greatly improved (the E.A. assets are meant to be merely good enough to test gameplay).”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The base-building and combat parts are fully functional but unpolished. Around 50% of buildings are fully implemented. The events system, late game content (imperial court intrigue) and governor traits are not ready yet. Most art assets are placeholders.”

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

“The price will either stay the same or be slightly lowered (by up to 25%).”

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

“Primarily I seek gameplay feedback (the game is stable so finding classical bugs is not a priority) which is the basis of my decision making regarding existing features and new features. You can provide comments via Steam forums or via Discord, I read both at a regular basis. Typically, during E.A. a new build is out twice per month and each new version needs to be retested. Overall, I would say, the community involvement is very high in all my E.A. titles.”

About This Game

You Have Been Appointed Governor of Planet Antares


By an imperial order, you have been appointed Governor of planet Antares. Your primary task is to ensure regular shipments of the planet's local fungus extract to the Empire. Your secondary objective is to expand and defend the colony to secure a permanent imperial foothold in this region of space.

Long live the Empire!

Planetary Report


Governor, here is a planetary report compiled by the Imperial Bureau of Maps and Space Anomalies.

Antares is a swamp-jungle planet located in the distant Scorpius sector. Its native flora and fauna exhibit unusual biological properties and are suspected to be the result of ancient bioengineering by a long-extinct alien race.

Of particular interest is a rare fungus with extraordinary properties. Your primary mission is to harvest, refine, and ship Mycel Extract to the Empire on a regular basis.

WARNING! Lifeforms on the planet are classified as extremely dangerous.

Political Situation (Classified)


Sir, as your trusted assistant, I feel obliged to share information that is unavailable through official channels.

The Emperor's health is deteriorating. Rumors suggest that factions within the Imperial Court may be plotting to assassinate him and install a regent in his place. Should these rumors prove true, the Empire could face a civil war.

This is a very dangerous situation, you might be dragged into the intrigues of the Imperial Court despite being posted in such a remote location.

Also, the Emperor's grip on the Court appears to be weakening. Corruption is spreading unchecked, and even the outright bribery of imperial courtiers has become a viable option for those seeking influence.

In these uncertain times, Governor, you would be wise to evaluate your position carefully. The Empire's future may be decided far from its capital, and Antares may prove more strategically important than anyone realizes.
