Skyformer

About This Game #

You are a robot sent to the tiny planet of Xenion to set up a system to make it habitable for your creators. However, the makeup of its atmosphere leads to a challenging process along the way. Skyformer is a first person survival and automation game that simulates weather and emphasizes geographic positioning and protection of your factories.

Build factories automated by drones #

Create systems to mine and process materials in automated pipelines. Configure drones to easily handle the logistics.

Terraform and track the weather #

The processed materials allow you to create and run a system that controls the climate, tracks the weather, and terraforms the planet. As you terraform, the planet becomes more capable of producing weather systems, some of which become unexpectedly destructive. This game has a dynamic weather system that interacts with the geography, producing microclimates in each region based on the current global climate.

Strategically position and protect your factories, and make Xenion habitable! #

Changing the climate of the planet can allow access to previously inhospitable regions, but can also do the opposite. Learning about the weather and how the geography locally influences it is key to strategically repositioning your factories during the terraforming process. The goal of the game is to achieve a climate that maximizes biomass across each region, and stabilize the atmosphere to the point at which storms are no longer destructive.

Development #

• Aiming to release the complete game sometime in 2024, possibly early 2025.
• At least 2 player co-op is aimed to be supported.
• Will monitor wishlists to determine localization needs.
• Design, art, and programming with a custom engine by solo developer @weatherfused.
