UPDATE: 04th of October 2016:Full release on
Steam.
UPDATE: 30th of March 2014:The game is now on
Steam Early Access and its current version is 0.0.3.
Survive the bugs! [pun intended]
UPDATE: 15th of October 2013:The website of the game changed to
http://unclaimedworld-game.com/ a while ago, and so did the name of the game (was Conlan's Claim).
There is a demo in development, and on the last post from the devs on their forums, they now have 2 new programmers on their team.
-- Original 2010 Post:Don't ask me how I found this, but it's a game still in early development by 'two people in their spare time', about building a colony in a far away world:
"“Conlan’s Claim” is a sci-fi game about survival and exploration of a new world. You will be able to plan and manage a human settlement on an alien planet.
The game is currently in development and it will be a single player downloadable game. "
From their site.You can find more info here
http://conlansclaim.com/ , along with a teaser video and screenshots.
I liked the idea and the setting. And as some of you may already noted, everything that includes 'building' sparks much interest in me.
Also, since I noticed their forums had no one, and it was really hard and random to find their page (probably because they are indies, doing it on spare time...i.e. not promoting it), I decided to send them an email, asking for a release date.

Hi Gabriel,
thanks for your email!
The first release date is still to be decided. We are now working on the
prototype which will be a small scenario with basic game mechanics. For
those gamers with a special interest in the game there will be an
opportunity to test and provide feedback during development. Although we
still haven´t reached that point, we could contact you when the time
comes! Until then, check out the teaser video that we just finished, and
there will we be more videos coming, documenting our progress.
Cheers,
Morten
Let's hope they finish it :]
