Description An alpha screenshot from Sven Olsen's Stars in Shadow game project . Planet and background assets (and other graphics) by me, UI by Sven.

This is the generic airless rockball world. It's based on equal parts Moon and Mercury. The version at lower right is a colonized planet with settlement and city light layers.

I like the art style, and what u have shown of the UI and other features of the game so far. any idea when it might be out? or possibly sign up for a beta test?

The current plan is for some kind of release early next year. When there's more information on release or testing, I'll post about it here.

Oh nice, I like it. Β Liking the touch of the city lights as well. It feels believable for a planet with little or no atmosphere.

That no moon!

i like the detail with the city lights.

With the number of light vary depending on the planet development?

Yes. Each planet type has a variety of exploitation graphics layers that depend on the population size and how the planet is developed.

Nice!
Some level of terraformation is possible? Like having an atmosphere or some vegetation?

You can terraform, yes. You'd have to get through several stages (like to a Mars-like world) before you could have vegetation.

Great!
So like Biospheres, Atmospheric generators, Bacterial soil enrichment and so on?

That sort of thing, yes. The specifics aren't in-game yet.
