Features (in development; details can change)

• Short single-player game. One run spans three in-game years, which takes 2-3 hours. Wealth gathered serves as the final score for the run. There's replay value in trying out different upgrade paths to end up richer.

• The main loop is simple: shoot asteroids, collect resources and upgrade the ship. Beneath the casual surface, multiple systems are simulated, including physics, the ship's energy system and resource prices.

• Different kinds of asteroids and resources to mine, and various ways of upgrading the ship. There are also other ways for making money, like buying and selling at the resource market.

• In addition to flying around and shooting, you will communicate with the ship through a computer terminal. You can buy more programs for the terminal at stations.

• From both game mechanics and lore point-of-view, the game leans towards hard sci-fi rather than fantasy.
