About the Game

A voxel-based first-person roguelite miner set in an alternate future where the Cold War never ended.

You take on the role of a convict forced to labor in a space prison.
Fly out into the machine infested asteroid field and gather resources to pay off your debt.

Use the tools at your disposal to carve, break and tear out chunks of ore from the asteroids, while fighting hostile drones deadset to claim all the resources for their corporate overlords.

Voxel Mining

A fully dynamic and physics based environment allows you to mine the asteroids as you see fit, aggressively tear out large chunks or meticulously carve out each ore deposit with pinpoint precision.

Combat

Forget about health bars, much like the asteroids the enemies are fully destructible too. Shoot out their cores and watch them fall limp or even explode if you hit something volatile!

Upgrades

Take your earnings and reinvest them into the worn down drone you are provided, choose between improving your drone's endurance, it's tools or even the barge itself so you may reach deeper into the asteroid belt.

Thermite Engine

This game is made on a fully custom-made voxel-based "thermite" game engine.
Everything you see was coded by our team from scratch.

Disclaimer

This game is a student project made by a team of 16 aspiring game developers at Breda University of Applied Sciences. Our goal with this project is to showcase our technical skills and learn along the way! That being said, unexpected behavior or crashes are prone to happen. This game is currently in development and will receive a couple of updates to adress issues/bugs.
We hope you enjoy the experience!
