Space Trader: Merchant Marine
Space Trader Merchant Marine is that strange situation where two very different genres have been combined together in the hope of hitting that once in a lifetime combination that everybody agrees is pure genius, like Vampires and Teenagers, or Ninjas and Cheerleaders. Space Trader doesn’t quite hit that special recipe however.
Space Trader is a combination of a numbers trading simulator and a first person shooter and by far and large the biggest problem is that playing the game you have trouble telling which of these two aspects feel the most tacked on.

Space Trader Merchant Marine was released in Oct 23, 2008. It boasts a score of 89% from a review by GameFocus saying, ““One of the best indie games of 2008. An innovative and addictive experience. Addictive, very fun and innovative are the best words to describe the game and the bottom line is this is a welcome addition to any gamer’s library so buy this game and enjoy it.”
This is very akin to the how ‘reviews’ reflected Bubsy 3D on its own packaging, to those that remember.
The game is broken down into four different areas, exploration, trading, time management, and fighting/bounty hunting.

Cutthroat Cove
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! There are way too many bugs, the major one is that you cannot craft water jars, which is a necessity, if you want to live. I have also attempted to contact the Developer with no success. I am wondering if the Dev has abandoned this game. I enjoyed playing the Demo, so I bought the game. I can tell you that it does NOT play like the Demo, it plays like an early Alpha. Do yourself a favor and avoid this fiasco. I tried to get a refund from Steam, but evidently I played for more than 2 hours, which is the limit. I have 550 games on Steam, and this is the first time I have left a bad review.

So to start the game you grab a bunch of loose stone and wood from the ground. If you grab all of the loose stone and then die of fall damage (which is easier then you would think) and can’t get to your inventory again you pretty much can’t get more.

Path to Prosperity
The game offers a brilliant twist to classic strategy games by its first person perspective. You get to explore the island and run your little settlement while also getting involved in building it from scratch, collecting materials, making trades and protecting it from intruders. This game shows great potential and I’m really looking forward to new updates and added features!
It also runs smoothly on my Catalina despite the warnings on the Steam page.

Awesome little game! I’m a fan of first-person gather/craft/build/farm games, but never really explored the RTS genre. This game bridged that gap, balancing the elements of both really well. It doesn’t (yet) have the slickness and polish of games from bigger studios, but I found myself devouring the full default 100,000 coin cycle and then thinking about how I would adapt on my next play-through.
Overall, it’s unique and full of promise! Give it a shot!

Dungeons and Kingdoms
The Dwarven Sons of Ivaldi have reclaimed the mountain and begun their quest to forge masterpieces for the Gods.
When you learned of this, you struck out with your family, leaving the safety of the human kingdom to venture into the wilds to settle and establish trade with the Dwarves.
There you begin to grow your community from a tiny village into your own mighty Kingdom.
Assemble a party of heroes and begin your adventure into the unknown seeking treasure, fortune, and fame.
Dungeons and Kingdoms is a combination of city building and small party questing adventures.
Build
-
Modular building - Hundreds of modular building pieces available, build entirely custom structures and layouts piece by piece
-
Build Plans - You act as the build planner by placing all the pieces and build up modular buildings, then begin construction. Those build plans pass to the job system to be constructed by your workers. You can have many build plans in construction at the same time.
-
Full Preview - Build plans allow you to see what your buildings will look like fully connected and rendered in game. Your workers will only act on them when you start construction. You can cancel construction at no cost, so you can attempt endless Build Plans until you like what you see.
-
Edit buildings - Once placed and built, all building pieces can be removed or added allowing no end to how you customize and evolve your world
-
Assign Builder - Assign anyone for basic construction (fire pits, wood fencing etc) up to master builders for epic monuments and castles
-
Decorate - Hundreds of items available to decorate and furnish your kingdom
Blueprints
-
Save Build Plan as Blueprint - Start placing items as a build plan. When you have a collection of pieces you want to re-use (like a small house, or a smith) you can save the current build plan as a Blueprint. This allows you to place the entire Blueprint as a single building piece later, over and over.
-
Everything with Blueprints - You can use the Build Plan feature simply as a way to make many different Blueprints. Make a Build Plan, save as a new Blueprint, then Cancel the original Build Plan.
Tera forming
-
Excavate - Dig trenches and moats
-
Tunnel - Mine deep underground, building networks of mining cart tracks setting up functional production lines
-
Landscaping - Lower, raise or flatten the ground to customize the terrain for your kingdom
Grow Your Kingdom
-

-

-
Trading - Negotiate trade with the local Dwarven city. Focus your early growth on what they need, trade for what you need, or what you can trade with other Kingdoms.
Manage Your Kingdom
-
Production - From peasants gathering mushrooms and berries to master masons sculpting great statues, assign your population to jobs to increase their skill.
-
Training - People will learn and improve at whatever job you assign them to, or send them off to other Kingdoms to learn special skills to bring back to your city.
-
Smart AI - While some of your people may not be geniuses, they are smart enough to go to work when something needs to be done. In other words, you don’t have to worry about getting bogged down micro managing everyone. You can be as involved as you want to be, but the more work you put in to managing your Kingdom, the more effective your population will be.
Survive
-
Risk - Outside the safety of city walls, the world is dangerous. From wild animals and other creatures, to bandits, and tribes of Orcs… or worse!
-
Economy and Production - Starting small, balance your growth with the available resources and trading partners to ensure your people survive
-
Defend - The more you have, the more others will want to take it. Building and maintaining defenses may make the difference between life and death.
Questing
-
Heroes - While most of your population will be regular people with jobs, you may attract, hire, or train up legendary heroes. Take your party of heroes on adventures and quests while leaving your kingdom to be run by the local council, or send your heroes out on their own.
-
Encounter Areas - The main map is for building your sprawling kingdom. Learn through rumors about quests where you assemble a party of heroes to adventure out into the wild including dungeons, over-world swamps and forests, crypts and other deadly lairs.
Play as Anyone
-
Perspective - All play modes are in either First or Third person
-
Variety - Your main character is the leader of your town, with the goal of eventually becoming a great ruler. You can also switch between any character in your Kingdom. Each character has their own unique skills and traits, training level, and inventory.
-
Skill - When you directly control a character, you may be able to increase that character’s production beyond their automated skill level by doing jobs manually
-
Automation - Perhaps you leave control of your city to your people and focus on adventures as one of your Kingdoms great heroes.
Combat
-
Weapons - Many different weapons to craft, buy, or loot, including swords, maces, hammers, axes, bows, crossbows, and several specialized weapons with many custom animations and sounds.
-
Custom Smithing - Either attract or train a smith of high enough skill, and build your own custom weapons with unique stats
-
Enemies - From neighboring enemy tribes of Orcs, to many different creatures and monsters ensures a diverse range of combat tactics and experience.
Sandbox Mode
Sandbox mode available - build anything you want without restriction or having to worry about resources, money, or dangers.
Factory pirates
its unrefined with no tutorial of any kind and the only benefit of playing the game is to get accessories that don’t work.

Garden Of Mooj
Garden of Mooj is a monster farmer simulator where you raise cute little slime monsters called Mooj. You find different types of food and feed them to your Mooj and it will train their stats in different ways. Every night even scarier monsters come to try and destroy your Mooj statue and you must defend yourself using the Mooj you have raised. Once you train your Mooj, their abilities can unlock gates to allow you passage into new areas, as you make your way across the world trying to save it from a mysterious enemy. Mooj is fairly similar to games like Slime Rancher and the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure, and was a lot of fun. The game also has a really decent jazz/easy listening soundtrack.

I find this game strangely addicting and loads of fun despite how simple it is.
Its a good game for just not worrying and getting a good chuckle and you can make your mooj fairly different.
Pros:
Relaxing
Silly and cute
Addicting
Cons:
it can be a bit buggy
its not entirely clear on what to do
could still use more to do(personal bias)

Played using the Oculus Rift S
The graphics isn’t to my liking. I’ve never been a fan of the blocky lack of detail plan jane graphics look. I am aware that this doesn’t bother everyone so I’ll just say it’s shark and colourful.
Audio is fine and joyful. No frills, but no ignoring sounds or music.
Gameplay is its most shining point. It’s a decent RTS game with lots to do and enjoy. I truly loved playing it. From building house and farms to upgrading my troops.
