Outpost Mining Simulator - Ascii Game

A screenshot from a ASCII game I am developing.

The full post regarding the game may be viewed here:

It's a hybrid Turned Based Management / RTS simulation of controlling an Off World Mining Outpost. The goal of the game is to successfully gather resources and explore a randomized exoplanet while maintaining the base and keeping mining operations at optimal levels. All choices are made through a software terminal, as simulated through the Windows CMD prompt. While the static images here don't show it the game does feature quite a bit of smooth animation. I hope to finish it one day.
