The game
Terraforming a New World. Creating Life.
SEEDS is a sandbox survival-crafting game built around one of humanity's most fascinating challenges: terraforming other planets and making them habitable.
In SEEDS, players are given the tools to transform a barren alien world into a living ecosystem. The game's premise explores a future in which humanity may need to look beyond Earth for the survival of our species, while also reflecting on the consequences of what we have done to our home planet.
The game's story will explore these themes further through a dedicated Story Mode, which is planned for a future release alongside numerous additional updates currently in development.

But SEEDS is not only about survival.
It is also about the beauty of creating life.
Players can experience seemingly simple but profound moments: creating an atmosphere where none existed before, watching clouds form over a previously lifeless landscape, or witnessing the first rain fall on a desert planet.
These moments are intended to give players an opportunity to stop, observe, and contemplate the world they have created.

Freedom
A Sandbox Limited Only by Your Imagination
While SEEDS carries an environmental and philosophical message, at its heart it remains a sandbox game designed to give players freedom.
The game provides a wide range of tools and systems with which players can experiment, build, transform, and create. As with any true sandbox experience, the possibilities ultimately depend on the player's imagination.
Against All Odds is already looking forward to seeing the unexpected creations, discoveries, and approaches that the SEEDS community will bring to the game.

Technology
A Technical Achievement by a Truly Independent Team
Designed for all gamers, with a special focus on tech enthusiasts, SEEDS is available on Windows, with particular attention paid to Linux compatibility and support.
From dedicated PC gamers to retro gaming enthusiasts, players will discover plenty of thoughtful details and hidden gems throughout the game — little touches that reflect the developers' genuine passion for technology and their own experience and passion as gamers.
SEEDS is developed with our in-house game engine PasVulkan and features a fully emulated 64-bit RISC-V computer running a real, unmodified Linux kernel and distribution, powered by our own open-source emulator, PasRISCV, within the game.
Integrated into the player's home base, this virtual computer, accessible through its own display, runs actual Linux applications interfacing with the game for our in-game tools, such as viewing planetary statistics and later also controlling the planet's machinery.
Players can even run their own software, opening up possibilities beyond our imagination and the game's built-in features.

Despite being created entirely in-house by a small team of passionate independent developers, SEEDS aims to deliver the visual quality, 3D performance, and overall production values associated with much larger productions.
Gameplay footage and videos demonstrating the game's technology and visual capabilities are available through the official website and Steam page.

The studio
About Against All Odds
Against All Odds (AAO) is a truly independent game development studio.
The team handles every aspect of development in-house, including programming, graphics, audio, technology, and tools.
AAO is also deeply passionate about the technology behind its games and believes that useful technology should be shared with the wider community whenever possible.
SEEDS is powered by PasVulkan, an entirely in-house game engine developed by Against All Odds and released as Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The team has also developed PasRISCV, its own RISC-V emulator, which is likewise released as FOSS.
The studio also plans to release the complete SEEDS soundtrack under a Creative Commons license.
For Against All Odds, independence means more than simply working without a publisher. It means having the creative freedom to experiment, take risks, and maintain a direct relationship with the community.
SEEDS is only the beginning. Alongside continued development and updates for SEEDS, AAO is already working on additional games, all created with the same small-team philosophy and commitment to creative freedom.
The developers build the foundations. The players help shape where the game ultimately goes.
Create a world. Bring it to life.
