Antimatter, my citybuilder and 4X game with physics.
geoffroypir:
Hi, I started the project on the 10th of april, a small kickstarter campaign was launched 2 years ago.
Today (27/12/2022) I have decided to edit this page since I have finally published a steam page.
Here I am kind of copying the steam page so forgive that somewhat dissonant form compared to a forum post.

Features
[*]Thousands of systems and planets to explore in a gigantic instantiated galaxy.
[*]A dynamic universe where dozens of factions struggle for power or survival.
[*]Take command of a spaceship, trade, mine, harvest, scavenge, produce and participate in the simulated economy.
[*]Manage an existing city or found a new colony on any planet.
[*]Climb the political ladder of a commercial corporation or a sovereign organisation, or found a new one from scratch.
[*]Interact with AI characters who are living independant and simulated life in the Antimatter universe.
[*]Terraform entire planets by altering their atmospheric compositions.
[*]Fulfil missions for corporations, factions or individuals, or unravel the secrets of this galaxy.
[*]Get involved in the Antimatter Crisis and try to change yourself the course of history.
How To play ?
Antimatter is a RPG that plays as a grand strategy game, you have neither omniscience or omnipotence, most of your responsibility can be delegated to spaceship captains and governors if you control any territory.
No micromanagement is required, you have the freedom to deal with the businesses that interests you the most.
Antimatter plays in the intersideral space, on the planet's surface or in the mysterious undergrounds, you can play all the way from a space journeyman to a galactic emperor.
Create and customise your galaxy with all available options, such as the stellar systems count and types or the historical events that will impact the simulation of civilisations through the ages.
[*]An universe generated and simulated across billions of years with a realistic accretion model of gas and dust.
[*]A simulation of civilisations through thousands of years, filled with historical events.
[*]Asteroids, comets, nebulae, planets and many other astral objects to explore.
[/list]
[*]A wide range of planets, entirely simulated and procedurally generated.
[*]A procedurally generated geology.
[*]A realistic and dynamic atmospheric simulation.
[*]Terraform entire planets by altering their atmospheric composition.
[/list]
All civilisations are procedurally generated and simulated through thousands of years. Ruins, monuments, POIs and ancient artefacts exist thanks to this detailed simulation.
[*]Manage your crew and the specialty of your crewmembers.
[*]Customise your spaceship with many modules and choose from dozens of different spaceships.
[*]A radar simulation with passive and active detection, which rewards stealth and reconnaissance.
[*]A varied range of weapons, such as missiles capable of crossing millions of kilometres.
[*]Manage your fleet and hosted ships.
[*]Land on any planet or asteroid in the galaxy.
[*]Study and harvest exoctic flora.
[*]Meet and profit from ancient civilisations.
[*]Create and incarnate a character, define his physical and psychological traits, his education, characteristic and skills and his appearance.
[*]NPCs have their life simulated from birth, each trait and characteristics come from an experience in their lives.
[*]NPCs have their own artificial intelligence, they act by themselves with the same liberty as the player. You are not the only actor in this universe. NPCs also contribute to the political system of organisations.
[/list]
Create, or be part of a commercial corporation, a sovereign state or a criminal organisation, fulfil missions and climb the ladder of the organisation.
[*]Trade goods.
[*]Mine and harvest ressources and objects.
[*]Manage and build space stations, and produce new spaceships.
[*]Embrace a pirate's life with extorsions and deceiving actions.
[*]Administrate cities and territories, or lead an entire empire.
[*]Participate in the organisation's political intrigues.
[*]Lead and organise a fleet by using your influence.
[/list]
THe terrain of each planetary region (tile) can be explored and can even be the location of a colony. Each region has its own geology, a simulated biosphere and can host ancient ruins generated during the historical simulation.
[*]Manage the city's industry, trade, demography and its political aspects.
[*]Plan the city's defences against orbital threats.
[*]Develop and extend the city's frontier across the planet.
[*]Explore deep and mysterious subterranean regions.
[*]A destructible environment and a liquid simulation.
[*]A dynamic weather system.
[*]A monstruous fauna (only giant worms for now).
[/list]
Change the climate of an entire planet by slowly modifying its atmospheric composition, observe the chain reactions on its geology, hydrosphere and its biosphere thanks to a detailed and realistic atmospheric simulation.
The flora is entirely simulated where each species' reign depends on local conditions and the other competing species.

Iceblaster:
Looks like an interesting game, yeah. You have an idea of when you want to release the first public build? Looks like it'd scratch my itch for a unique take on the city building genre, and am also curious how these other systems will tie into it.
nenjin:
I'm enjoying the aesthetic. Seems like a pretty ambitious project but you seem to have a good start on it. I also like city builders and this one seems different enough from the typical Sim City / Cities Skylines to pique my interest. Giant sandworms help too.
(Also is it just me or have we had higher than usual # of new indie game projects show up here the last couple weeks.)

I don't like to release things too early, so I think I ll release something by the end of the year.

Many peoples lost their jobs and money due to the state measures taken against Covid, (like me). Not only it gives free time for some other projects but it make reconsider what the prorities in life are. It is maybe the reason to this phenomenon.
n9103:
This is extremely ambitious, especially for making the diverse amounts of gameplay work together well.
But assuming the screenshots above are already integrated together for the most part, that's an impressive accomplishment.
Definitely a PTW.
