Astrox Imperium is my attempt to create the space game that I wanted to play, but no one had created. I wanted a single player, open-world space game that is similar to games I enjoyed, like Homeworld and EVE, with economies, factions, and a story. A game where I could set all the parameters, and the universe would come alive with new challenges each time I played. I tried to take the best of what I liked from many of my favorite space games, and combine them into something simple but deep, familiar yet fresh, and enjoyably addicting to play.
The human struggle to survive is an all too familiar one. As the planet collapsed into an ecological depression, mankind as a whole is forced to expand his vision to the skies. A grand ship was built, and the ‘Imperium’ was scheduled to launch mankind into the future. With a new Quantum technology at its core, the Imperium was mankind’s greatest achievement. Putting aside all differences, the people of world came together. Under a common goal, the efforts of an entire generation came to fruition. The Imperium was ready to carry the dreams of us all, and with it, the hopes of finding a second chance.
The main game play loops are fairly simple, and familiar. What makes Astrox Imperium unique, is the way that you can easily glide between the various loops to maintain a nice level of progression, without it feeling any more ‘grindy’ than you want it to. Sure, you can just mine rocks if you want, but Astrox Imperium provides you many different ways to progress your pilot.
Many of the classic mechanics from the space game genre have been incorporated into Astrox Imperium. Basic interface controls were designed using elements from some RTS and FPS games. All the fan favorites and core game play elements have been included; mining, crafting, trading, refining, fleets, combat, exploration, survival, and more. This game will seem familiar to fans of the space survival / exploration game genre. Here is a list of features that are currently in the game.

Prototype idle game
In Astrox, you type your name, choose a faction to give a 15% bonus to scavenging, and send your spaceship into space. You then click on an asteroid, wait till your ship flies over and wait till a light beam converts a part of the rock into your cargo space. You wait while flying back to a space station and wait some more till the rocks are refined into more costly goods. Then you sell the goods, and repeat, repeat, and repeat. After about 100 trips you start to feel some progress. You have learned some skills, like improved mining level 4 that gives a +10% to mining operations and have increased your cargo by an additional 20% using some earned skill points. Perhaps you want to go on a mission, hunt pirates or scan an object in some unexplored sector? Perhaps it awards more credits and skill points? It is not more exciting, though. You fly out, you travel to the designated place in space, and click on the object or pirate. You wait, and return home to collect the bounty. A thousand missions later you fly a dreadnought, have a few mercs, a big cargo, level 8 in mining and your credits have a few more digits. Astrox is a typical idle game. It is a mindless grind that works wonders on a brain tired after a busy day at work. Astrox is probably more fun to make than to play, and people saying they have fun are probably in a state of addiction-denial, and ignore the facts that Astrox has nothing new to offer after the initial 5 minutes of play, and for some strange reason feels okay to play for weeks, months or maybe even years? I’m not going to criticize the concept of idle games. I have rated Astrox based on not having some half naked Japanese girls added to the mix to satisfy another piece of brain addiction (good thing), for lacking any kind of interesting grind other than the look of ships (good) and level n goes to n+1 (bad), and the lack of options that I can think of that might improve gameplay other than more of everything (mildly bad thing).
