Minicology
Minicology is a whimsical survival adventure where you play as an astronaut stranded on a tiny planet. Establish yourself in the food chain and try to avoid collapsing the miniature local ecology while you try to farm for yourself, defend against predators, and repair your crashed spaceship.
Strategic Base-Building and Farming:
Minicology’s base-building and farming system forces players to think carefully about how they design their base and establish themselves in the world. Will you industrialize early, pollute your atmosphere with cheap-and-effective fossil fuels, and clean up the damage later? Or will you play it safe and try to limit yourself to primitive, eco-friendly tech which puts you at a disadvantage? Will you figure out how to harness the food chain to defeat problems like predators and pests? Or will you use destructive, man-made tools like heavy weaponry or pesticides and live with the consequences?
Not Just Another Survival Game:
A tiny planet means big consequences! Minicology’s unique ecology-based mechanics mean that players will get a refreshing new take on the survival-game genre. Rather than an infinite world with infinite resources, Minicology features a miniature, simulated ecology. Every creature interacts with others in unique ways, and the extinction of any species could send your tiny home spiraling into ecological collapse. Creatures reproduce, eat, fight, and are domesticated in different ways that each differently affect the ecosystem.
Epic Boss Battles:
Before you can fully utilize all of the resources in your new home, you must clear the planet of dangerous Apex Predators - invasive, overgrown, or parasitic species that have laid claim to the different biomes around the planet. Each unlocks new tools, but will require creative solutions or lightning-sharp reflexes to defeat.
But players must also be wary of success - a blooming ecology will attract extraterrestrial attention. An ecology with a surplus of resources will draw in powerful Celestial bosses - creatures who roam the galaxy, grazing entire planet’s worth of food in a day - or hunting whole ecosystems to extinction. Failing to defeat one of these bosses quickly enough could destroy the delicate balance of your tiny home.

HEDE Game Engine wants to be the next “easy” game maker out there. While it might be easy, it is so extremely flawed and absolutely terrible! Between missing features, glitches, annoying features, and just how lazy this engine is makes this a hard pass!
All you need to know why to avoid this is this posted on the store page.
“At the current state, you can’t make a build of your game. You can play it only inside our game engine."
Let me just say, that some the artwork assets included in this are actually pretty good! No real complaints there, other than there is not a whole lot to pick or choose from. Half of the assets shown in the store page are not in here, so be warned with that… Here’s the thing though. It’s all just repackaged Unity Store Assets. With very little looking you can just find them all there.
