It is the year 2287, one of the first colony ships sent out by Earth arrives at the planet Maria, in the Epsilon Indi Star System. During its landing sequence, something appears in front of the massive ship that causes it to lose control and crash into the planet. Some of the colonists survive in lifeboats, but what they find is an unforgiving land filled with creatures ready to outlast the visitors from Earth. Now the survivors must explore, gather, build, create, fight, and ultimately, conquer the land.
This is through LAN, we had 9 people in game and digging and building at the same time. It was mostly smooth fps, so we'll probably try tower defense and enemies with 8 players next. Online wise, there are still some latency/position tracking issues, we're still working through these.
This might end up being a good multiplayer to play with my wife. I've been looking for something like that. She's a citybuilder, I'm a civilization builder, so this might actually be in both our tastes.
Very nice feature! Building and multiplayer and tower defense!
