AstraX
AstraX is a 2D space exploration game that features procedural world generation. Galaxy, systems and planets are generated based on our current knowledge of astronomy combined with sci-fi aspects. It features a highly customizable procedural generator that allows for a great variation and replayability, while also providing realistic outputs.
Game-design wise AstraX focuses on casual and relaxing gameplay paired with realism, detail and fun. The atmospheric soundtrack is entirely composed by me.
In its final form, the goal of this game is to explore and survive as you venture into deep space. To do so, one must collect resources, construct sturdy, failsafe ships and plan your missions to keep your crew alive.
AstraX is a passion project created out of love and fascination for everything space. It is inspired by games such as Kerbal Space Program, Space Engineers, Freelancer, Galactic Civilizations and also Dwarf Fortress. It is still in early development so features are subject to change.
