The Fermi Paradox

"But we should be wary of answering back. Meeting an advanced civilization could be like Native Americans encountering Columbus. That didn't turn out so well."

- Stephen Hawking, Interview

"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."

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

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 💙

#indiegamedev #indiegame #scifigame

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? 🤔

#indiegamedev #indiegame #scifigame

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."

lil alien in the blue spacesuit: "BRO what did I SAY about making sure you get this spaceship's oil change done regularly. Now we're gonna have to call space AAA."
