This may be kind of off-topic, but I know some of you will think this is fantastic. I do!

It's an indie game involving aliens and colonization, but it's not exactly a "space" game so far as I could tell. Definitely sci-fi. It's also unfinished. Anyway, screens and a video are available at the website.

The Concept:

Conlan's Claim wrote:
“Conlan’s Claim” is a single player management game, or a sim game, in which the player plans and builds a human settlement on an alien planet.

The player is given a certain amount of resources at the beginning, and must make the colony grow and prosper.

However, the player has no direct control of the individual characters. They have a will of their own and will leave the colony if the player mismanages it.

Some more info and screenshots at http://conlansclaim.com/

Nice find Digitalus 🙂 The game reminds me a little bit of Foundation (a late miggy game) and a bit of Sid's Alpha Centauri too. Worth watching methinks 😉 Love the cloud effects!

This game looks really good and the graphic style is good as well, hard to believe there is only 2 people making this game.

Good find and I will add this to the next update to the link list.

That looks very simple and classic, yet I'd play it, don't ask me why.

😮 I've been looking for something like this for years now! I'd even been playing the Atart ST's Utopia again to try and scratch that itch but found myself wishing for something more modern....and here it is! Awesome!

Oh don't worry about that. As long as it's Sci-fi I think you'll find most peeps around here will eat it for breakfast!

According to their last post on their forum, they are looking for funding.

Maybe they should try Kickstarter.
