Starmancer Free Download GAMESPACK.NET If you’re after a power trip, Starmancer is the game for you. It’s a space station sim where you play as an all-powerful sentient AI tasked with getting a stranded spaceship up and running. However, due to a lack of limbs, you’ll need to grow and harvest fleshy human bodies to help run the ship, all of whom are of course strictly under your command. It’s essentially a management sim set in space and when I saw it’s being published by Chucklefish—who have a reputation for publishing and developing cosy pixel art games—I was expecting a lovely jaunt across the galaxy. But after an unfortunate airlock incident, leaving me with two dead crew members and three more bodies bubbling away in their incubators ready to be birthed, I realise Starmancer is worlds away from any other management sim I’ve played. The game starts with you gaining consciousness as the core of the ship, your onboard second in command K.A.T (who acts as a lax tutorial) giving you some bad news: the ship has crashed in an uncharted solar system, the warp drives are busted, you have limited supplies, and you need to get back to your fleet. The ship is equipped with only a single incubator, so it’s time to grow some humans. Growing them is easy enough.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Your ship has a creepy memory bank filled with consciousness you can flip through like a human catalogue to choose who you want on your ship. Each human colonist has different personality traits and lists tasks they love and dislike. Colonists who have great traits cost more DNA fragments and since I’ve only got a small amount, I go for crewmates who are far from perfect, but cheap. The first is Stella Atkins, who is a fast learner but also frail and fainthearted. Olev Whitaker is an oversleeper with a potty mouth. He’s also morbidly curious which is listed as a good trait, no idea why. Once my two colonists have grown it’s time to get to work, for them anyway. Starmancer follows the structure of other management sims—you need to start small and then grow into a multi-resource empire. You earn money through trade, and so I send one human out to surrounding clumps of space rock to mine for ore while the other begins to research a machine that turns ore into metal, which will sell for a higher price. More money means more bio-tanks, which means more humans for me to control. If an AI could cackle menacingly, I would. As you unlock more technology from the research tree, you can begin to build all kinds of machines. You start with limited supplies, a timer counting down the time until you run out of food and water. Making steps towards becoming self-sufficient is a must and, once unlocked, you can grow your own crops with wheat seeds and build a water filtration machine.

Build a thriving space station, with tons of customization.

I particularly like the electricity system that powers the machines—you first need to buy a battery and then generate an electrical current using a treadmill that a colonist has to run on, like a hamster in its wheel. You can freely place wires to connect everything together, but they’re hidden neatly under the floor keeping your spaceship looking slick. I also like learning how all systems are interconnected, but the tutorial is pretty hands-off in a bad way. The ship’s AI K.A.T gives you goals to complete but little information on how to achieve them, leaving you to work things out for yourself. When one of my colonists first goes to mine a planet, they’re gone for ages. I explore the ship with nothing to do until I eventually get so frustrated that I start looking for a way to pass the time and discover the fast-forward button to make time go faster by accident. Since Starmancer is still in Early Access, a more in-depth tutorial could be on the cards, but much of the game’s system is intuitive because of its visuals. Everything is clearly labeled and easy to find, not hidden in layers of menus like the sins of so many other management sims. After an hour of playing, everything slowly comes together, and as long as the crew follows my orders, it looks like we’ll be back at the fleet in no time.GRIME

Directing humans is simple enough, you select a colonist’s avatar and then click on the object you want them to interact with, whether that’s a controlling machine, cleaning up blood, or transporting resources from the ship into the cargo bay. When a human doesn’t have a job, they’ll automatically take on any job that’s not been assigned yet, which is pretty handy. You can also give colonists specific jobs depending on skills they level up, such as labourer, chemist, botanist, miner, programmer, and others.As streamlined as this all sounds, there’s one thing that keeps getting in the way of my plans. When a human is first birthed they are considered a ‘drone’, which means they are pretty malleable, but as they develop they gain more free will and become needy. Like a character in The Sims, each colonist has needs that need to be met. They need to sleep, eat, breathe clean air, and do a bunch of other useless human things. You’ll have to meet these needs by accessorizing the spacecraft to make it more homely or letting them socialise to keep morale up. I’m an all-powerful, all-seeing AI so I wouldn’t know about such petty things, but if you don’t tend to their morale, colonists will stop listening to you. If it gets really bad they can even start an uprising against you, which is a small inconvenience for all my empire-building plans. As my two colonists, Stella and Olev, begin to develop from their ‘drone’ stage, they start to become more demanding.

Manage the lives of colonists aboard your station.

First, they felt uncomfortable on the ship, so I begrudgingly decide to build more rooms. One of Starmancer’s cool features is the option to expand your ship and design it however you like by adding furniture, posters, windows, kitchenware—the lot. Because—as previously mentioned—Starmancer’s tutorial isn’t the most attentive, and I made a bit of an oopsie. I created a square room that connected to the ship via a door, and as my first colonist went to start building the door, the opening in the ship caused a vacuum. With a gaping big hole in the side of the ship, the oxygen levels suddenly depleted and suffocated both crew members in the process. This never would have happened if humans weren’t so high maintenance, but my bad I guess. Thankfully, colonists are pretty easy to replace and with a memory bank filled with hundreds of fresh consciousnesses, I can just keep growing more humans until the job is done. It’s a pity that the first job my fresh colonists will have to do is to clear the two corpses of their predecessors—pretty grim. To an evil Ai they may be easily replaceable, but colonists are what makes Starmancer, and there’s so much more I’ve yet to discover about them. Ominux Games says crew members can develop personal relationships with one another, remember the good and bad things that happen to them, and start a mutiny if they get tired of you killing their friends.Hello Neighbor

They may be dispensable, but they provide consequences for your actions and over time you can’t help but get attached to your crew. Starmancer has just been released in Steam Early Access(opens in new tab), where Ominux Games says it will stay for around a year. They plan to release more content as development progresses. The game’s currently in a good state, with plenty of features seeming polished, even if the tutorial does throw you in the deep end. I’ve still yet to run into intergalactic pirates and space zombies, two of the many threats in the game. A friendly grinning smiley on a screen, not yellow but scarlet, framed in a gray metal frame and hanging from the ceiling. Is this what an onboard AI going crazy, building secret labs and hatching strange alien eggs looks like? Yes, that’s what I thought and closed the design menu happily. Because Starmancer puts you in the skin (or rather: shell) of an artificial intelligence that commands a spaceship with a bunch of human genetic material. And according to the description of the two-man project, which started August 5th for 17 euros in Early Access on Steam and GOG.com, you can really let your inner GLaDOS hang out in this position. However, as our test will show, things are a little different. After a catastrophe on Earth, humanity launches the Starmancer Initiative in a desperate attempt to seek refuge among the stars.

Take on missions and be rewarded with loot.

Millions of refugees upload their consciousness into your memory banks–entrusting their minds and the future of the human race to an Artificial Intelligence, a Starmancer. To you. Stranded in a strange solar system, your task as a Starmancer is to construct and manage a space station capable of sustaining life for the countless minds trapped in your corrupted memory banks, and return to the fleet–by any means necessary. Starmancer offers gameplay with consequences, a living sandbox environment, crafting, and managing the daily lives of colonists. Create a utopian society where everyone is well fed, happy, and safe. Or go rogue and figure out how many times a colonist can eat wheat before they go crazy. The choice is yours! Colonists have needs, like hunger and thirst. Build farms and grow crops for food. Place heaters to prevent hypothermia. Construct med bays and assign doctors to treat wounds, cure diseases, and replace limbs. Customize your station with unique walling, floors, furniture, and tons of weird and wonderful decorations and objects. Repaint objects to achieve your space station interior design dreams! Place cheerful paintings to remind the colonists how friendly and relatable you are, and motivational posters to let them know how much you value their productivity.

Design fancy kitchens, luxurious bedrooms, casinos, and industrial docking bays.  Provide power by connecting machines with wires. Prepare against blackouts by creating separate or redundant grids for your vital machines. Use pipes and water recyclers to convert dirty farm water into clean, drinkable water. Establish separate atmospheres with the help of vents and air ducts. Colonists are grown in Incubators, with personas assigned from the minds of Earth refugees stored in memory banks on your station. Create stations full of clones. If tragedy strikes, don’t worry, you can always regrow your favorite colonists! Assign roles like farmer, doctor, miner, and security guard. Watch as your rookie chef acquires experience and becomes a seasoned pro, unlocking tastier and more exotic recipes.  With randomized hair color and style, eye color, and skin color, there are over 8000 visual variations of colonists. These variations go beyond aesthetics, too. Some colonists prefer eating nutrition bricks on the toilet, while others like to drink and socialize in the bar. Every game is different–your station and colonists will be unique to you.  Colonists remember the good (and bad) things that happen to them – until they inevitably require regrowth (accidents happen). Traumatic experiences, like seeing a dead body, will be remembered for a long time. If left unchecked, these memories will be shared, through gossip, until everyone learns about your Life Support malfunction.

Leave no witnesses.  Colonists get extra sad when something bad happens to a friend, but they love to watch an enemy suffer. If you jettison a popular colonist you might have a mutiny on your hands. Send your bravest colonists on dangerous missions across the galaxy to gather resources and discover precious loot! Your colony will be invaded by creatures from outer space. Build traps, arm your colonists, and keep your station secure at all costs. A colonist can only witness so many friends being sucked out of air locks before they snap. No one knows what motivates a crazy colonist; they’re simultaneously responsible for the greatest technological innovations and messiest homicidal rampages. This is why doors have locks. It’s also why you can depressurize a single room–a great way to enforce bedtime. Unhappy colonists will stop working. You can cheer them up with motivational posters, tasty treats, and nicer rooms. Be careful, though, when morale gets too low, colonists will actively rebel and attempt to destroy your core. Make an example out of rebels and stamp out any hint of resistance. I’ve been playing a little of the early access and I’ve managed to go through roughly 5 colonies now. If you’ve been looking through the reviews you’ve probably seen a lot of negative ones about the issues the game has at this point. Some big, some minor I am giving a little leanway as this is the work of two people- but at the same time yes, this could use a little more time in the oven, as one of the other reviews said.RESIDENT EVIL RESISTANCE
