Void Destroyer 2

All you have is a basic ship, barely fit for combat, with it you'll start your journey and empire. A space sandbox, inspired by the classics and standing on their shoulders.

This game is VERY ambitious for a single man to develop, and it shows in places. It can crash every couple of hours when it compiles too much script, and it can bug out a bit with clipping in large battles, pretty standard stuff, and it has frequent auto-saves to compensate. But that's also the good part. This game asks "What if you could play Homeworld, the GOOD version, both as fleet command and an individual pilot?"

The first one tried to do the same and set up a compelling story. But it was very difficult to learn the interface, as one might expect. This one is easier, doesn't have such punishing graphics, allowing for larger fleet battles, but you're also in charge of a lot more. Automatic resource trading (money printer) and a Remote Interface permit you to take charge of multiple fleets in turn, across an entire theater of the Oort Cloud.

It's amazing one you get the hang of things. You really will feel like your player character is supposed to feel. You are a Stub. A person who sold their body, their memories, and their former life for some unknown reason. You play and find what yuo want to be. SPOILERS FROM HERE ON IN. DO NOT READ EXCEPT FOR CONTEXT IF YOU'RE CONFUSED.

You are going to LOSE this game. It's advanced alien invasions done right. NO matter how good you are, no matter how efficient, you will lose in the end. You have to crawl past impossible odds, likely learning over and over again how to set up anything resembling a resistance. You cannot win, only delay.

So why do that? To set up the sequel and provide a fun environment for players to learn this punishing game. It even lets you legally cheat, to gentle the learning curve, and it remains challenging. You can't even do fairly well by thinking like a casual, or if space RTS combat isn't something you want to invest time in. You are Fleet Command, dared to make use of your advanced cognitive capabilities in order to forestall the threat. Not just planning, but pre-planning, hardcore, because you are going to get your ass kicked until you don't.

And when you finally figure out YOUR best ways to avoid total destruction, it a rewarding experience. Just the lore from this game as a standalone, however seemingly sparse, can fuel your imagination for years. What would you do as a Stub? If everything you think you are is gone, what would you choose to be?
