A base-building exploration & survival game, combining deep simulations with a diverse crew and story-rich world. Keep your crew alive, explore your surroundings, rebuild your ship, adapt to challenges, and ultimately get home.
First: I don’t see the value in posting a game here with zero context. Like, alright, this game exists I guess?
Second: Not that I’m necessarily against it, but this looks like a straight up clone of Oxygen Not Included. I’m all for different studios giving their take on a concept, but I’m hard pressed to find what this does that ONI doesn’t do?
I like posting indie games that look half decent here sometimes. I don’t really know what context I’m supposed to give. I can’t really do an indie sunday since so little people are on lemmy and post.
Honestly, that’s fair. I do feel like even an “I saw this on Steam and thought it looked interesting” would add enough context, tbh. As it is, I thought this post might have been bot spam or something.
I don’t want to really give recc’s to games I haven’t played and I don’t have that much time to play that many of them anyway. Well if you see me post it, know that it’s not a bot and just a harmless “this looks interesting”. I might make a video one day on indie games but I probably won’t post it here since it would to me be a conflict of interest.
All good! Honestly I wouldn’t have an issue with posting your own video here - it’s a small enough community that we could use whatever OC content we can get.

I don’t mind it if it uses ONI as a starting point. It’s super early in the dev stage, so that’s a fine starting point. If it ends up being a straight clone, sure, that’s boring and it probably won’t do well, but if it goes its own path, then yeah. Plenty of games start at the same point and then veer off.

Holy moly, you weren’t kidding! It’s uncanny.

Yeah, I would love to have more games like ONI, but I hope this game can find its own niche.
