Description

Build a colony where your drones to exactly what you tell them to. Program a team of robots to gather resources, scale up production, reshape terrain, and expand your colony on a procedurally generated alien world.

History

Icaria started in July 2019 as an exploration into procedural generation and emergent behavior; a sandbox for playing with lots of simple robots and a programming language designed around distributed solutions to problems. From there it evolved into a colony builder and factory automation game, inspired by NASA's robots on Mars and the vision of Project Daedalus, trying to answer the question "how would you explore a planet around another star?"
