Lunar Pioneer
A downloadable game
A Colony on the Moon needs to get Oxygen from somewhere, and it's your job to keep the inhabitants happy and breathing.
Assume the role of Pioneer #1972-sr, the Colonies newest Oxygen Farmer. Tend your crops while they grow and then harvest the Oxygen they create, or reap your crops and sell them for Gold. You'll need to carefully balance your farming to ensure you stay afloat in this dual economy world.
Take the buggy into the mines and fight off monsters in a shooter environment similar to Asteroids, collect the resources the monsters drop and use them to improve your farm and the Colony.
Lunar Pioneer is a retro callback to games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley. Produced at Gameboy resolution, limited colour palette and chip music inspired soundtrack.
Current Game Status
Currently Lunar Pioneer is in early development. The screenshots and footage you see represent a pre-alpha state of the game. Keep up to date on game news by following my twitter, or read my Devlog here on itch. I'm developing this solo, which means development, art and music are all created by me alone. I'm working on this every day and sharing updates regularly, and a full Devlog with changelog weekly.
