Informazioni sul gioco

Startron is an ASCII-based space colony sim where you can mine, harvest, build and automate your way across a procedurally generated cosmos. Lead a crew of sentient cats (or dogs) as they take their first steps out and discover the mysteries of the cosmos.

Automation

Build, colonise, then harvest the resources of the cosmos on a truly astronomical scale. Defend your infrastructure from other lifeforms - but try not to endanger the locals.

Procedurally Generated Cosmos

A sprawling web of interconnected stellar systems awaits you in your own unique cosmos. Binary systems, black holes, wormholes, pulsars & more play host to various hostile and friendly locations!

Fully Customisable Worlds

Each planet, moon, asteroid cluster and gas giant can be modified and manipulated to your needs. All formed from strange compounds which you'll use to your advantage.

Retro ASCII Graphics

Embrace the 90s DOS aesthetic with charmingly retro graphics, including fully 3D environments - all rendered in ASCII (Codepage 437 to be exact)!

Ever-Evolving

Startron is an ongoing effort, with new features being added as and when - and always for free.

Startron has been designed to bring you back to a simpler time - when games had grand scope, but weren't necessarily infinite. The cosmos in Startron is large, but not so large a single person couldn't get to most of it. The planetscapes and moonscapes follow a similar philosophy where there's plenty of space to do what you need, but not so much that it feels irrelevant. We hope we've got the balance just right!

The art style was chosen for similar reasons, as we found it affords players (and developers alike) more creative control to produce something truly wonderous.
