Cosminers is a game about mining resources beneath the surface of an alien planet, surviving in an inhospitable environment, and expanding your base to survive the nightly monster attacks. You will be able to do it yourself or with the help of a line of automatic defense turrets.
The game combines several genres. Depending on the player's preferences and settings, there will be elements such as:
- Survival - you will have to make sure that the miner survives on this inhospitable alien planet. Will you go outside the base without an adequate supply of oxygen? Fail to take care of adequate food and rest? This will not end well for you....
- Simulator - you will be able to feel how hard work (but also incredibly rewarding) the profession of a space miner will be! Well, and in addition, you will have to take care of the good condition of the base and various types of equipment (if you use them), like items, turrets and drones.
- Economic game - with elements of resource management, base construction and item crafting - you will have to properly balance all sorts of factors, the needs of the base and your hero. Will you mine the resources yourself with nifty devices, or will you put it in the hands of automated robots?
- FPS - somehow you will have to deal with hordes of rampaging monsters. Will you be able to fend off the night attack on your own?
- Tower defense - how about deploying deadly turrets wreaking havoc instead of risking your life?
- Roguelite - you will die more than once trying to reach your goal. And then your character will be cloned again, consciousness uploaded to a biological shell, and you will once again try to achieve the goal.
The player's goal will be to survive on an alien planet, extract raw materials, discover more and more elements of the game, create a base in such a way as to allow the player to accumulate enough raw materials to fulfill the contract and leave the planet. Or to build such a strong defense line that the player will be able to survive the final attack of the monsters.
- Core Loop
The basic Cosminers game loop consists of three elements: Challenge > Rewards > Solution
Challenges / Action - Kill the monsters!
During the night, the player's task is to ensure the survival of the base by fending off attacks from rampaging monsters. The player will be able to do this by eliminating the threat themselves, and will be able to use automatic turrets that eliminate enemies.
(- base structure)
Rewards / Upgrade - Gather resources!
Surviving the attack will enable the player to continue exploring the environment and underground, as well as mining and gathering resources. From time to time, the player will come across treasures hidden beneath the surface of the planet, through which he will be able to discover new gameplay opportunities that will affect his further fate.
(+resources)
Solutions / Expansion - Build a base!
Once the player has a sufficient degree of resources and capabilities, he will be able to expand (or repair) his base with new modules, elements and automatic devices. This will allow the player to better prepare for the dangers that will come with the approaching night.
(- resources)
(+ base structure)
