Indie developer System Era Softworks has unveiled a promising action-simulation Astroneer, which puts the player in the role of a pressure-suited astronaut. Players will be exploring planets and building space habitats, both alone and co-operatively.
According to System Era’s blog, ”You will land alone, or with a small crew of friends, on a planet to call your own. Harsh but bountiful, infinite worlds will beckon you to explore, exploit, and ultimately to reshape to your desire. Excavate and deform the land, uncover precious resources, jury-rig equipment to suit your taste and needs, create industrial scale extraction and manufacturing facilities, and locate rare items and artifacts. Contribute to the survival of Earth-based humankind, and get rich along the way.
Just from the reveal trailer, Astroneer promises a physics based world, with destructible and deformable terrain, open ended gameplay, crafting, and co-op play, in sort of a Minecraft-meets-The Martian-meets-Journey style of game, where as much of the game is taking in the sights of an alien world as building a colony.
