Planetbase on Greenlight
polycounter lvl 17
Hi there, our game Planetbase is on Steam Greenlight. The game is being made by just 5 people; I'm the responsible of all the visuals (except for the UI), from the art direction to the asset creation.
I hope you like it, any vote or help to spread the project is more than welcome
I paste below the content of our Steam Greenlight page. Later on I'll post more stuff on this same thread, as soon as I have a bit of time to set up some pictures of the models, etc.
In the meantime you can find more pictures from this project on our website
Planetbase is a strategy game where you guide a group of space settlers trying to establish an outpost in a remote planet.
In the game you play the role of the base architect and manager, telling your colonists where to build the structures they will need to survive. You will have to ensure that they have an constant supply of oxygen, food and water to stay alive.
You will get them to collect energy, extract water, mine metal, grow food, manufacture bots, and build a fully self-sufficient base.
Even if the game is not intended to be a simulator, all the mechanics are plausible, and based on what the expected challenges of establishing a colony in an new planet would be.

- Three different planets with different conditions and increasing difficulty.
- Harness solar and wind energy (if available) in order to power the base's structures.
- Grow hydroponic Vegetables and synthesize Vitromeat to feed your population.
- Mine and produce raw resources, process them, manufacture goods, and establish a production chain.
- Carefully manage the colonist immigration flow to ensure you have the people with the right skills.
- Survive disasters like meteors, sandstorms or solar flares and defend your base from intruders.
- Mechanize your base by manufacturing your own bots that will help with the more arduous tasks.
- Grow your colony from a few initial pioneers to a vibrant planetbase with hundreds of colonists.

Here are a couple of pictures of one of the character models: the astronaut
And also a W.I.P picture of the biodome components, the models which I'm working on right now.
great work for 1 artist!!
I like how it looks realistic but also soft
In fact I've chosen this art style to be able to create the bunch of assets that the game needs within a reasonable amount of time (keeping in mind that I'm the only 3D artist of this project :P), I feel comfortable with and luckily it seems that finally the people like it as well
Other people asked us the same question, to be honest we didn't know that book so any similarity is just a coincidence, anyway it seems to be an interesting read so we'll take note.
Another model, one of the ships this time; this is the smallest one which transport new colonists and visitors to the colony
Planetbase has been greenlit in just one week

Good job !
We've just released a major update of our game planetbase, including a new planet, new structures, techs disasters and a lot more, adding more hours of gameplay and taking the game to a whole new level.
Here you can see some pictures of the new planet added, it is the class S planet, the most difficult one in the game, it requires 12 milestones to unlock and in it you will have to deal with constant thunderstorms, erratic energy generation and limited space, offering a proper challenge for the more experienced players.
