The Fermi Paradox

🪐Plato 🤝 Us on how cool space is🪐

"Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another."

- Plato - Greek Philosopher - 4th Century BCE - Sol System

"My cleaning robot is preoccupied with an ancient mathematical paradox. It hasn't vacuumed in weeks! I'd buy a new one; but my banking network is running analysis of dark matter theories as a background task and won't let me log on."

Digital_Dust - Raonian Netjockey - Time Stage 770 - Gliese System

"Annihilation. That’s the highest respect a civilization can receive. They would only feel threatened by a civilization they truly respect."

The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin - Science Fiction Writer - 21st Century CE - Sol System

The Erbori are a lizard-like, balanced species that can spawn in the Vex system!

What does it mean to exist? How does a civilization progress? What lies at the end of this journey called life?

The Fermi Paradox doesn't have the answers, but as a space gardener - you'll get to poke around the universe and experiment 💙

The Shivan species in our sci-fi game are inspired by deep sea creatures... who eventually can develop space exploration capabilities! 🌊

#indiegamedev #indiegame #scifigame

Yessss! Space dinos exist in our game!

#indiegamedev #indiegame

how do you guide civilizations in our indie game?

every decision you make has an impact on synthesis, your "choice points" so-to-speak. if you don't have enough synthesis at certain moments, you might not get to shape the future in the way you want! 👾

#indiegamedev #indiegame #scifigame

thanks for checking our game out!

you will have to pick and choose which civilizations to nurture in our choice-driven sci-fi narrative strategy game, The Fermi Paradox 👾

humans are an option... but are they better options than space dinos and dolphins? 🤔

Even a crab dreams of going to space 🚀

In our scifi game, the Rama are a species inspired by crustaceans. (And they have really cool space suits!)

BEEP BOOP. ORGANIC LIFE FORMS FEAR ME, AS THEY SHOULD. IM A ROBOT SPECIES IN A GAME CALLED THE FERMI PARADOX.

I DO NOT SHOW MERCY, BUT OUR ROBOT SOCIETY CAN CHANGE. HOW WILL YOU, THE PLAYER, CHANGE IT?

"What the climate needs to avoid collapse is a contraction in humanity’s use of resources; what our economic model demands to avoid collapse is unfettered expansion. Only one of these sets of rules can be changed, and it’s not the laws of nature."

- Naomi Klein

#indiegamedev #indiegame #scifigame

Happy pride month! Social progress is a central part in our game. The struggles and the rich history of the queer community have a place here 🏳️‍🌈

Describe your game like a bad marketing intern:

you click on things and herd cats, but instead of cats, it's intelligent alien civilizations.

(actually there is an a cat species in the game, if you're lucky enough for them to spawn in your game!)
