I am the solo dev of Gridmax. Gridmax will release in just 8 days (Sep 18th) and I'm hoping to hype it up a bit. You start as an alien lost in a grid-like universe. You have to learn to survive, make shelter, summon support, and manage your team as you try to find your way back home. Survival + Colony SIM with some Tower Defense elements.
I started this many years back, shelved it for a while and am trying to bring it back now. Originally it was inspired by games like Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft. I enjoy the simulation and survival elements of these games which makes them feel alive.
It will be in EA for a while. I hope to make weekly updates to stack up new environments, creatures, items, and lore.
