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. Xenion is a first person automation game that 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. No need to get out pencil and paper to plan out the factories; the material production tree is relatively small.
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 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
- In closed beta for the rest of 2023; will release the complete game when it's stable. Aiming for early 2024, but would rather add a delay than release an unstable product.
- 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 game developer @weatherfused.
