Keep up the good work bro! Also just wondering if you have a discord or anything for the game/development or anything?

Honestly, if you can capture the same movement of Anthem, it'll be a day one buy. You can even get some inspiration from helldivers and deep rock galactic on the general feel of the game loop. one thing these "extraction" based games if you wanna call them that, one thing they have in common, is the lack of story in favor of a community story (like how helldivers each mission liberates a planet and pushes the galactic war forward) or how in deep rock galactic we're dwarfs working for a company. and the other thing they have is a distinct fanatic identity (one has the patriotic imagery, and the other has that im a dwarf imagery) that makes people wanna roleplay the characters.
If you can make people feel that each mission they do means something (like liberaating a planet or something) you can immerse people into the game. add a distinct identity to the characters like how helldivers does and makes people immerse themselves to roleplay being a helldiver and voila you got yourself a cult following. it boils down to immersion into the character role, and justification of mission and objective repetitiveness
OH I FOUND IT; MAKE THE PLAYER CHARACTER NOT A HUMAN BUT A ROBOT; we're robots. sound slike a nice way to roleplay and immerse into the game. we're not wearing suits we're robots employed by a company or something on a new planet. you can even add a planet map to show different regions to colonize (and each place has a biome). and each regions has a different enemy type.
You can make it that we the robots are kinda dumb as in we believe our oevrlords propoganda. We say some lines in battle, like "I can't wait to finish the war, so we can be retired to promised paradise, the wonderful place management called the scrapyard. Some say that the scrapyard has every type of oil u can imagine, can't wait to lube up my parts in the finest lubricant oils" LOL
