Steam Store description

Archean is an immersive Engineering Sandbox and Space Sim . The only tech tree is the one in your head. Archean simulates aerodynamics, orbital mechanics, fluids and electricity from the actual shape and wiring of your builds, then hands you an in-game programming language and gets out of your way. No unlocks, no invisible stats doing the work. If your plane flies, it's because you built a plane that flies. In other words, we simulate real physics and let you figure out the rest. This game (and custom engine) is developed by a passionate team of two , and will stay that way. Engineering is the game. There's no separate build editor. You build everything in the world, in first person, standing on the half-finished wing. If it looks like a wing, it flies like a wing. There are no wing blocks. Lift, drag, stall, stability, control authority. All of it is computed from the actual shape of your build. Air and water run on the same physics too, so a wing turns into a hydrofoil as it dips underwater. Planes, boats, submarines, re-entry vehicles: same rules, different shapes. Wire it. Program it. Trust it with your life. Every build is a machine: power, fuel, fluids, sensors, thrust. Hook them up however you want, then program the behavior yourself in XenonCode, our in-game programming language, or drag wires in the visual node editor if that's more your thing. Autopilots, launch sequencers, docking computers, mining rigs. Yours to write, yours to debug. Space, at full scale. Planets are real-sized and real distances apart. You will never run out of map. Orbital mechani…
