14 DAY TRIAL // 4gency is a small but dedicated developer aiming to translate their passion for space flight into a fun orbital strategy game experience called Habitat.
The game is currently undergoing a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter and it's going great so far, the team already achieving almost a third of their goal with 28 more days to go.
The development team comprises industry veterans hailing from Zipper Interactive, Microsoft Game Studios, Amazon, Big Fish Games, Sierra Studios and Pipeworks.
In a nutshell, Habitat will allow players to fly, build and smash orbiting stations they make out of space junk, in a physics driven real-time strategy game that is set far, far away in Earth's future.
The basic gameplay of Habitat revolves around building combinations of junk that work together, in order to support life or destroy it.
Exploration and resource management will play an important role in the missions, and combined with physics-based flight and combat in orbit will bring space stations to life.
Players will be able to fly their creations by attaching rockets to their space station and letting physics do the rest of the work, and massive space behemoths can be expertly flown to their destinations and the turned into whirling vehicles of death.
Fighting enemy habitats will be a big part of the game, and players will be able to crack them apart and salvage junk pieces to add to their own habitats, as well as mine asteroid resources and research various technologies to upgrade space stations with stronger materials, more powerful rockets and even special abilities.
Gamers will explore a vast orbital playground where humanity's history will be theirs to use, from satellites and shuttles to various vehicles and even buildings from entire civilizations, welded together in any desired way.
Players will then have to manage oxygen, electricity, food and living space for their citizens and then employ their creativity to solve various problems as things start to go wrong in space.
4gency is planning to deploy the game for PC, Mac, Linux and Xbox One, and they will have a playable demo available at this year's edition of PAX East, taking place in Boston from April 11 through April 13.
