As work continues on Verkalium’s core gameplay development we also take every opportuity to improve the game’s look, sound and feel. With the addition of a full music soundtrack and a first-pass inclusion of sound effects it’s really feeling like an immersive game.
While the graphics are still in their early stages, you can see how some of the gameplay is shaping up in these screenshots:
Space Exploration
Explore the stars and discover a seemingly endless variety of planet types and sizes, each with their own characteristics. Some are friendlier to organic life than others, and some hold mineral riches beyond your wildest dreams.
Which will you colonise first?
Buildings and Ships
Our smart build-queues give you hands-on control over the output of your colonies’ factories. Build new upgrades for your farms and research labs, or build and deploy your next space fleet – the choice is yours!
Terraforming
New planets aren’t always friendly places for new colonies. You’ll need solid ground to build on, and fertile farmland to grow food for your population, and for that you’re going to need to terraform.
Civilian and Military Fleets
Not all starships are created equal. Fast, light scouts and colony ships allow you to rapidly expand throughout the galaxy, but without military might to keep enemy vessels at bay your civilian ships are an easy target. Spending too much on your warships early-on can stunt your growth, and doom your empire before it gets off the ground.
Expand and Dominate
You’ll need to defend your homeworld at all costs while searching out new worlds to colonize. Will you beat your enemies to find the elusive Verkalium, or lag behind and be forced into servitude for your alien masters? Mystery, discovery and victory await!!
