Description
This is the fifth iteration internally of our online design process. Regretfully, I can’t show a lot here because this is a dev mode build and a lot of hidden bells and whistles would be revealed that aren’t for public display.

Still it gives you a very limited, crude peek into what we are building here at Rockets and Monsters.

What our game will allow is online design of:

1. An original and unique, player designed, sentient, technological, alien/speculative zoological species.

2. Design of the species’ homeworld living conditions and environment—from the planetary to the solar system level.

3. Creation of the species’ psychology, societal culture and governance types.

Once designed and finalized, your species can be validated as authentic by other players. Only you will know the exact design specifications of your creation, other players will only see the capabilities and appearance of it. And even similarly designed creatures will have design variations that are not duplicated.

We are planning a squad level game of miniature-type combat on a customizable playing board that centers on planetary colonization in a cooperative and competitive environment where possibly hostile players and indigenous wild life and environmental conditions will have to be dealt with to succeed.

In subsequent development, we will be adding campaigns for single-world play and ones for multi-world and multi-system play.

Diplomacy, satellite reconnaissance, space and ground transports, military vehicles, terraforming equipment and unique, customizable player-built weapons an$ machinery will be involved.

You might be a low-tech civilization that breeds like rabbits and is incredibly fast and strong and brute forces with manpower all of your efforts. Or you may be a low-population species with primitive bodies but robotic augmentation and advanced technology.

Your species’ culture will also affect its performance and behavior in game. A society of intellectuals with a libertarian world view and high prioritization of the arts may not be as willing to face daunting enemy forces or make suicide charges. Likewise, your hyper aggressive, predatory creation with a violent, nonadic culture may not be inclined to honor trade agreements or peace treaties.

You, as the player, will have to guide your forces to victory in any of several diverse scenarios. The success of your leadership and design will be proved in the field.

Our website is up but not truly active at this stage. There is a contact form there though if you wish to be added to a mailing list or simply submit comments ideas or questions. We will reply. And if you might want to be a future alpha/beta player, let us know there!

This is a fully independent game that will not be a cash grab from money soak for players. Everyone gets two free alien designs and a paper, print-to-play option will always be available for free. In future, we will provide 3D and laser-cut playing sets and aids as well, hopefully, coming up with customizable miniatures if things go very well.

Thanks for the interest!
