Junon.io - Multiplayer Space Colony Game
« on: June 19, 2020, 04:04:04 pm »

About

I've been working on a multiplayer focused space-station survival game for the past 1.5 years. In the game, you land in an asteroid and your goal is to mine resources, build your base, and defend against hostiles. Needs such as food, oxygen, and stamina has to be satisfied, and resources such as power, fuel, and ore supply has to be managed. You control a single character, and the focus is on collaborating with other online players. Later on, you can buy bots/slaves and they can automate tasks such as cooking, farming, refilling turret ammo, etc.

You can try the game using the link below. Let me know what you guys think. Any feedback is appreciated. There's definitely a lot of room for improvement, especially when it comes to multiplayer interaction. I want more cross-world visits/interaction/collaboration and more diversity of events and challenge. I'll be adding PvP to the game soon. Hopefully it'll make things a little more exciting.

Future Plans
  • Adding PVP
  • Bosses + more enemies
  • More weapons (rockets, lightsabers)
  • Events (solar flare, infection, meteor shower, nuclear fallout)
  • Breeding pets
  • More resources (nuclear/uranium/radiation/meteorite)
  • NPC visitors who'll pay for accomodation/entertainment
  • Slave Skills + Training + Combat
  • Happiness/Culture (maybe a global attriute instead of per citizen)
  • Custom Games

Screenshots

room with ATM, vending machine and some nice light display


base entrance with turrets guarding and solar panels on the side


rail tram system that can transport player and mobs


in the room, there are 2 alien slaves + 1 cleanbot + 2 slimes


Just burning some corpses using a lighter


the slaves would automatically plant seeds, water plants, and harvest crops for you

Looks like SS13 meets Rimworld. Interesting! Will give it a try later.

Hey this is pretty fun! The map is larger than I first realized, and the mechanics are light enough that it's not a chore to gather resources. I would love a mode where there are two teams spawned at opposite sides of the starfield, and you had to mine and build before setting out to loot resources and fight the enemy players.

Sounds like a starcraft 1v1 match haha. It sounds interesting, although not sure whether the game is quite balanced for that yet. But I think it might be something worth experimenting in future.

This seems like a less cancerous and more mechanical version of SS13. I'll try it out.

So i've finally added a PvP mode to the game. You basically spawn in a 512x512 tile map, and you fight against other players while building your base. You can team up with other players and use weapons such as turrets, grenades, shotgun, assault rifle, flamethrower, etc to raid your opponents. You do have to make sure that you have enough food/stamina/oxygen while doing all those. Here are some screenshots in game. Right now, the winning strategy seem to rely heavily on pure combat. It'll be nice if there are alternative ways of sabotage such as virus infections, natural disasters, espionage :D
