Description

Welcome Nomad. You are a space pilot for the Unimine Corporation. Your job is to fly through uncharted space territory to find rare minerals the company needs for its services. One of those services is cloning. Your DNA is saved in the corporation's servers.

Once you start your journey through space you can not return. You have to manage your fuel and oxygen to survive. You can mine and gather ice (O2 generation), plutonium (fuel generation), and cobalt(ship maintenance and repairs) to survive longer. The ship's processor will turn the stored ice and plutonium into their usable forms over time. But beware of your ship's weight, because the more you store in your cargo hold, the harder your ship handles.

While surviving you should look out for the rare mineral painite the company needs and gather as much as you can. You can find delivery drones throughout the universe to send the collected painite to the nearest company outpost. Sending painite via drones costs fuel and cobalt, so sending as much painite at once is better than sending small packages.
If you die on your journey the ship and all the cargo is lost. The company will create a new clone and send you on your way.

Gathering resources is possible by using your mining laser or other means to destroy asteroids and collecting the resources.

SUPPORT ME

Please consider supporting me here on itch.io or on Ko-Fi if you like my work, it makes it that much easier to keep working on projects like this.

DISCLAIMER: For some reason, the vibration does not work on all controllers. I tested it on 2 Xbox controllers, with the older one (connected via cable) everything works perfectly, with the newer one (connected via Bluetooth) vibration does not work at all or very weirdly... Therefore you can toggle vibration via the F1 key if the vibration does not work correctly.

Known Bugs (game jam version only): 

- Once fuel/o2 is depleted the processor, unfortunately, does not start processing again....even if you pick up new resources like ice and promethium. In other words: the processor works fine as long as your tanks are not empty.
