Ecliptica

Ecliptica is a first-person science fiction sandbox set in an ancient, self-organizing world. You and your colony are alien organisms. After a long flight, the colonists have lost the memory of their origin, retaining only their intelligence and thirst for profit. Now you must take root on a planet that existed long before your arrival and is ready to protect its resources from uninvited guests.

COMMUNITY ECONOMY AND DELEGATION

At the core of your colony lies a fair economic model where every survivor is an autonomous market participant.

• Personal Gain: Residents seek their own ways to survive, assess risks, and spend their earnings on development. They do not follow scripts—they are driven by harsh necessity.
• Contract System: Any task—from perimeter security to resource extraction—is formalized as a contract. You can perform them personally or delegate to your subordinates, managing processes like in a global strategy.
• Autonomous Management: Assign an NPC manager to control facilities. They will take over micromanagement: hiring staff, adjusting prices, and distributing tasks, while you focus on expanding deeper into the planet.

ADAPTIVE QUEST SYSTEM

In Ecliptica, the story is not forced upon the player but grows organically from the state of the world:

• Procedural Contracts: Generated instantly as a reaction to events in the simulation. If there is a shortage or a threat at a station, the system creates a contract to solve the problem.
• Contextual Storytelling: Deep stories and side quests are activated only when a suitable situation arises in the world. The story becomes a natural continuation of your actions and random events in the world.

EXPLORATION AND LANDSCAPES

The planet holds traces of ancient eras, hidden in the massive and contrasting scenery of your new home:
