Starminer is a space industry and logistics simulation that strives to be at the forefront of space strategy gaming, blending cutting-edge rendering technologies with deep tactical and creative gameplay. It's set against backdrops of fully-realized 3D environments, where the beauty of space becomes an integral part of player immersion, setting Starminer apart as a visually stunning and technologically advanced space base-building game. Starminer is built with realism and immersion as core design pillars through the incorporation of Newtonian physics for propulsion and movement. This not only adds a layer of authenticity and complexity to the gameplay but also introduces a rewarding learning curve for players seeking a genuinely advanced spacefaring experience.

In Starminer, the universe is more than just a pretty backdrop for exploration and conquest—it's a playground for players to explore their creativity and long-term ambitions for their fleets. Central to the game's creative ethos is the ability to design a variety of space stations that bring them toward their goals; whether it's to mine resources, be a defensive power, colonization, energy production, or something else entirely. The dynamic and customizable nature of these different types of stations means that the player doesn’t only decide what their cosmic empire will be; it will become a unique reflection of their strategic prowess and imaginative flair.

This games adds a twist to the Rogue-like Deck builder genre by separating the combat in two phases. In the first phase you will choose which cards your character will use and in what order, then the batlle phase will begin where your character will start with the first chosen card and then the enemy will have its turn, this will go back and forth until all your cards have been used or one side is declared winner. Each game takes place in a new unique map where you will mostly find card battles, but not exclusively. You will also find duels, where the faster shooter wins, saloons were you will find good deals on cards to add to your deck and have a drink to help you recover some health (don't drink too much or you will get dizzy). Your goal is to beat the boss at the end of the level to progress and go further into more complicated and fun combats as your deck of cards evolves.

In the universe of Grist, Starship Captains exert complete control on the often decades-long trade routes between worlds. To maintain this control they routinely undergo extensive modifications to their bodies and minds, extending their lifespan, and interfacing with the complex sensor and system arrays of the Near Lightspeed Vessels they command. From the fringes of colonized space, however, there has emerged a threat to this power. A cybernetic plague that infects the modifications, corrupting flesh and circuitry alike as it grows and grows, until the Captain is subsumed entirely. Such ships are rumoured to lurk in the dark corners of space, preying on the unwary, driven by a mind no longer human. 
 
In Grist you take the role of a Starship Captain infected with the cybernetic plague and desperately seeking a cure. Recruit a crew of scientists, mechanics, and mercenaries and explore the worlds of Grist from the crumbling ruins of long-dead civilisations to the gleaming space habitats of the hub worlds. Send them out on perilous missions to recover ancient artifacts or steal cutting-edge weapons tech, and when inevitably some of them fall, recycle what remains into the ultimate currency of this universe, the stuff that brings life and holds the plague at bay. Into Grist.

Similar to &quot;Stronghold Kingdoms&quot; but as a single player game in a fantasy setting. In &quot;Cube Kingdoms&quot; you dive into a captivating medieval fantasy world in which you take on the role of an aspiring ruler of a small village. Your task is to expand your kingdom, defend yourself from enemy attacks, build a powerful army and meet the needs of your people while defying the challenges of the environment. As the leader of the village, you start out with just a few resources and a handful of loyal subjects. Your first step is to develop your village by constructing new buildings, mining resources and building production facilities. The world of Cube Kingdoms is fraught with danger, and rival rulers and bandits await every opportunity to attack your kingdom. Therefore, building a powerful army to protect your borders is imperative. Recruit and train brave units to strengthen your defenses and repel attacks. In addition to military power, meeting the needs of your population is also important to ensure their happiness and contentment. Build residential buildings, improve the quality of life of your subjects and ensure sufficient food and resources. The happier your population is, the more productive they will be and help you with your goals. Time: It all happens in real time, the great thing about it: the time keeps ticking even when you're not playing. This means that the raw materials will continue to be produced, but everything else will continue: traders, scouts, but also attacks. If the timing of an attack doesn't suit you or you're on vacation, you can simply pause the game and continue when it suits you again. The three views: There are essentially three views: The village: Here you build up your economy, i.e. lumberjacks, stonemasons, mills and also weapon production. These buildings cannot be destroyed by an attack. The Castle: In the castle you build up your defenses, if an opponent attacks you he has to go through the walls and military units that you place here. These buildings can be destroyed and if the enemy gets into your castle they will rob you or in the worst case take over/destroy your castle. The Overworld: Here you can see your neighbors, i.e. traders, opponents and allies. In this view you can send units to other castles or to traders and see what the other &quot;players&quot; are up to. So that as many people as possible can play the game, I try to design the game with as little text as possible. That means lots of pictures and symbols and no long descriptions to read. As a player, you can create your own flag and choose the color of your castle.
