Orbital Steward makes colony management a question of consent
An in-development single-player colony simulation where an orbital AI guides a settlement whose residents can choose whether to follow its plans.
- For
- Players interested in colony sims and autonomous settlement design
- Worth noticing
- The current prototype’s 96 × 72 m map and 18 wild animals are explicitly separated from the larger future vision.
Field notes
The current Unity prototype is framed around observing routines, setting priorities, and proposing construction rather than directly assigning every resident. Residents select feasible jobs based on needs, skills, distance, trust, and existing commitments; work and travel advance on a shared clock, with pause and fast-forward controls. The page lists a 96 × 72 m prototype map and 18 wild animals, and explicitly labels the camp-to-city institutions as future vision, not current features.
