Expansion Core is a Nomadic Survival game where you play as one of the last surviving intelligent drones on a hostile planet. Gather resources, craft tools and build allies to help you survive. Inventory management is key as you move throughout the landscape.
If you want to follow the development of this game, I have a Twitter that I try to post on at least once a week: https://twitter.com/CandleBirdGames
I also have a Discord if you want to report bugs or just chat: https://discord.gg/ExsGMhbSBE
Still in very early development, but feedback is greatly appreciated!
I'll flesh out this stuff later since this is just the first Alpha release.
I'll be putting up Alpha builds here... They're not at all complete and a lot of the mechanics aren't explained well yet.
ALSO! There's a wiki, if you like lore: https://expansion-core.fandom.com/wiki/Expansion_Core_Wiki

liked
decent tutorialization
seeing entire map laid out in front of you when you leave cave was cool
basic survival elements worked well
good creature designs
movement feels good
opening sequence is cool, build a robot, command it to do something to help you out
core at each beacon is good
disliked
art style was inconsistent
ui is a little confusing
wasn't clear when you can sprint
combat didn't have any weight, just stand and hit
suggestions
make so you do more stuff with robot allies immediately instead of generic survival stuff like gathering resources
requires cores to build robots, great way to encourage exploration
immediately give the player like 3 cores and then tell they have to explore to get more
An awesome and unique survival game! I love the art style and idea behind the game, can't wait to see what the future updates bring!
I'm glad you like the art style! I put a lot of work into the animations and models for each bot. I feel like with every update I put out, I solidify my art style more.
interesting survival, with a different and striking mechanism that gives it a lot of potential.
Thank you! I'm always adding more content, so hopefully I'm getting closer to reaching the game's full potential!
