Project : New earth mix between Alien and Star Trek

Hello everyone from France.

I’d like to introduce my board game, Project New Earth.

It is a space exploration and survival game playable solo or in co-op where you play as one of the senior officers of an human colonization expedition.

The game will take place primarily on the ship, which you will have to manage to upgrade and secure it against external and internal threats.

You will also be able to explore planets and wrecks, or simply mine asteroids. There are over 200 events that can occur during the game, with numerous iterations possible.

You were awakened mid-journey by the ship’s automated systems due to the deactivation of the main AI. You will have to complete the expedition by exploring different stars. You will need to awaken members of your crew to direct, upgrade, and secure your ship during its journey.
You will have many challenges to overcome before completing your objective: discovering a colonizable planet, the new Earth…

I will begin a kickstarter campain next september. Here is the Teaser

Hello Jeannot! Welcome to the server.

AI generated art is an instant kiss-of-death for me, but I know a lot of people don’t mind nearly as much.

What are the actual mechanics of the game? Deck building worker placement, at a guess?

And by next September do you mean in 2 months time?

Hello Marx and thank you for your welcome.

You will indeed have to manage the placement of your crew, which has specific statistics and skills. The objective is for them to maintain your ship, improve it, and secure it. Indeed, as your expedition progresses and depending on your actions, events will occur on your ship. These can be more or less serious breakdowns or the intrusion of unwanted creatures, each of which has a specific strategy and objective.

On your side, in addition to managing your crew, you’ll need to manage your ship’s stocks and organize exploration missions to locate a colonizable planet. No deckbuilding. Think of this game as a narrative board game with RPG components.

I will give you more information as time goes on.

Hello RossM

Yes, the game is 98% ready.
I’ve conducted numerous playtest sessions with my friends and family or at festivals. I’ve spent a lot of time writing content to make each game unique. There are even secret endings and custom endings based on the planet you colonize (Scenario 1) or terraform (Scenario 2). There will even be additional scenarios that I’ll present during the campaign, including a PvP scenario.

Me too.

@Jeannot, for your reference, we mostly don’t encourage this sort of announcement here. But welcome to the board, and I hope you feel able also to use it for something other than promoting your own game.
