Description
About This Game
A barren, desolate planet is waiting to come back to life. Completely reshape its terrain, decide where water flows and plants grow, build machines and an atmosphere, and watch the world grow into a living and thriving ecosystem shaped by your own choices.
In Early Access, SEEDS begins as an open-ended sandbox: terraform the planet freely, experiment with its ecosystem, collect resources, construct machines from blueprints, and shape the world in your own way.
But this is only the beginning. We are working on a story mode that will turn your arrival on the planet into a journey, a discovery, a planetary canvas of choices and expectations. Explore the hidden world and uncover its secrets and history, learn more about the life it harbors, all while working with resources and blueprints to research and build new things as the story unfolds.
Your journey into space is just the beginning. The planet and its secrets are waiting!

About Us
We're a small indie team of three gamedevs and we do everything ourselves: code, graphics, writing, and music/sfx. And we're deeply passionate about the technology and tools we use. And often, when we create something useful, we love to give back - by open-sourcing and sharing it. For example, our entirely in-house game engine PasVulkan, which powers SEEDS, as well as our RISC-V emulator PasRISCV, are both Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).
Virtual Machine
Our in-game computer, which runs programs such as stats, the map, and interfaces to our machines, is a fully emulated 64-bit RISC-V CPU and virtual machine running a customized Linux system in a framebuffer console. It can also run an unmodified Linux distribution out of the box.
This lets you play games within our game, such as a proper game of chess against the computer, Cylindix (a block-stacking game), Space Prowler (a retro space game), and Polygon Legacy (a fast-paced action game), with more to come. You can also program your own little tools and games to run on the virtual computer and arcade machine.
And yes, it also runs D__M.
