Space strategy game, built by one person
A space strategy game where every decision counts, in development
A temperate planet, a colony to keep standing, and the time to do it properly. Production keeps running while you are offline, with no penalty for not being connected around the clock.
The game is not playable here yet. The wishlist tells you the moment a version is.
Astra Genesis does not try to be every space game at once. It stands on three pillars, and everything else serves those three.
First pillar
The interesting decisions come from production chains, not from an interface that makes you click thirty times. Every resource has a reason to exist, every factory has a place in a chain, and optimising the flow is the real heart of the game. Production carries on without you: everything is exactly where you left it, ready for the next decision.
Real throughput shown factory by factory, bottlenecks flagged before they become blocking, no offline resource loss.
Second pillar
Expeditions that leave, take their time, and come back with something you had not planned for. Research unlocks alternative recipes that genuinely change your factory plan, not just a number going up.
Eight research branches, sixty-four technologies, and alternative recipes that reorganise an entire chain.
Third pillar
PvP exists, but it never turns your colony into a permanent target. Attacks can never land between 10pm and 8am, a beaten fleet retreats instead of being wiped out, and a colony that was just attacked gets a break before the next one.
6-hour immunity after an attack, alliance notified in real time, looting limited to storage surplus.
Who is making this
My name is Gaetan; online I go by Reewen. By day I repair computers; in the evening I write Astra Genesis. There is no team behind this, no studio, no publisher. It is a project I would rather do properly than quickly, and working alone is exactly what lets me say no to mechanics that pressure the player.

Three ways to follow development, from the chattiest to the quietest.
This is where I post the failed experiments, the screenshot of the day and the balance questions. The server is small and quiet, which is exactly the intention.
