Base One - Apocalyptic Space Colonization Sim 

When the line "Humanity gradually came to its senses." (4:14) was spoken, I knew this was a sci-fi game.

"There are 4 of us alive, 1996 are dead, but we're OK for now." You're OK? I assure you, you are most definitely *NOT* OK.

It would have been funny if the narator went from "We were ready for what was next!....." warp in to "No, no we weren't!" commence the explosions! =]

I'm not sure they thought the day night cycle through, you only get that on a planet, floating around space there isn't one, but the further you get away from a star the less energy you'll get. It seems a lot like planet base with weird connections for power and what not.

I love when you play games like this. You are the perfect youtuber for these types of games. Keep it up!

"We were ready for what was next!" *Illidan Stormrage wants to know your location*

The Event Horizon - one of the best sci-fi horrors I've seen, and the only horror movie ever that made it difficult for me to sleep afterwards - word of wisdom, don't watch around midnight, in a dark room all by yourself. Or do just that if you enjoy this kind of thrill...

"Splatter Cat, what is the power house of the cell?" "Mesopotamia!"

I *really* want a SplatterCat episode on Vintage Story. You could easily do a whole series on it. The game's beautiful and immersive.

When he said pop culture is all I have...I felt that.

I want to like games like this--generally though they are more complicated than I care for. This seems like a good balance for me.

Yes! been wanting a game like this since Space Colony!

Just what I needed after a long day

I love science fiction games! Well, I love lots of different games, but for awhile, it seemed like everything was fantasy. So this explosion of science fiction games is just what I want to see. Admittedly, most of them don't really appeal to me. But some do. (Shadow Empire has been _great,_ even though I'm not in any way a wargamer.) On the other hand, card games turn me off. Oddly enough, even Shadow Empire has cards, more or less. But... I don't know. It's not quite the same thing. And obviously, tastes vary. It doesn't matter to _me_ what kind of game someone else likes to play. But as a 70-year-old gamer, I remember a time when computer games were very scarce, indeed. These days, I don't even have time to keep up with all of the game news, let alone actually _play_ all of them. It's great! :)

"Whenever I play shadowrun , I always play a rigger" -Splattercat I didn't think I could love this guy anymore than I already did.

How very Farscape + Seveneves of an opening, i dig it.

This game looks like fun. Nice twist on a colony builder.

I didn't know there are sunset, night and sunrise in space.

"Moshi Moshi, SplatterCat desu ..." Killed me right there XD I'ma call u Splatter-Neko from now on

someone should tell the people who made this game that there is no night when you're in space...

Yes, please, more of this on twitch.

Can we all just pause for 10 seconds and acknowledge the swagger?

Kudos for them making animated cutscenes, instead of slide shows.

Great Movie!

Yes! At last a Planetbase like game.

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

This was actually interesting.

on my wish list looking fun

I love these kinds of ant farm colony kind of games.

these folk are really chill for being dead on space whit no resources more than what is left of the ship... its like a loose loose situation unless u can go to the planet sometime

Looks fun

I would like to see more! Have you seen winter survival? It looks like a cross between the forest and the long dark. I'd love to see you play it!

Why would the solar panel only work during "daytime"? You're in space and not bound to a dirtball that rotates.

i think the reason games tend to go on a trend streak is because some of those indie developers don't have a great budget for marketing their game, they work on other projects until their genre trends, to maximize the audience viewership

This game looks pretty darn decent, would love to see more Splat :D

that other planet is most likely being bombarded by the moon's fragments

I think the pattern here is that 1 solar panel connects to 1 engineering bay. If you keep the spacing between engineering bays correct, you can just expand continuously in one direction

The slots remind me of the old xcom mars colonization game. Boy thats an old game to bring up. It still holds up graphically, surprisingly!

Nice review. There is a game called Falling Frontier testing in June or so. Its an RTS. One man project. You should review it when it's available.

Wait..... A day/night cycle in space? I get the intent, but I feel like that may have been overlooked a bit....

Floating Planetbase was kinda what I was thinking too.

“…and reruns all become our history …”

... yes. let's jump through this wormhole that sizable chunks of the moon have gone through... Im sure there isn't a rock waiting to hit us on the other side...

This game looks great. And, as always, I really REALLY like you positive style of playing games.

Really curious to see how the UI and later stages hold up.

I think it's super funny that they use daytime and nighttime cycles on a spaceship... cool looking game though

Looks like an actually complete SpaceBase DF-9

i say your vid, said to myself. i need this game. and steam said, "no you gotta wait. not available yet." i almost cried.

SplatterCat: "...Click on dat!"

The base building in this reminds me of Genesis Alpha One

What´s your diploma in? "Mesopotamia!"

The modules and how there put together reminds me of Subnautica

@SplatterCatGaming a friend of mine and i laughed our asses off in the cinema watching event horizon in a way that other customers wanted to throw us out... great movie!

"Where we are going, we dont need eyes"

Game looks pretty.

"How many of you are survived?" Now, i'm not an English mother language but that sounds wrong xD

We want this game NOW on Steam! 🍷🍹

Ah, yes.. when the guy from Jurassic Park went into space with Morphius.

Splattercat loves Probes. *cough*

I remember seeing a few games with similar concepts. The graphics in this are different though, IIRC there was another like this that used pixel graphs only. I do wonder if the life support item could be used to support more than just one module, because otherwise you'll have to build a huge amount of those life support modules...

Just added this to my wish list I know it's gonna be a game and it's a apocalypse sim

Neat game

I relistened to the tape captain and it says: Libera Te Tutemet Ex Inferis. Save yourself ... from hell.

Event Horizon is a Warhammer 40k movie, change my mind!

Reminds me of the science Station of Anno 2205.

oh wow, hogman's voice actor played nick tatopoulos in the Godzilla The Series show in 98

28:50 Can you link batteries together so that they share the load across the entire base? Did you need to add o2 and heat to the docking bay?

Just started watching this a year later thinking, "oh this looks interesting!" Check reviews.... ick, nevermind! :)

Well, time for me to make a space cyberpunk card game. Distopian society on a space station? Maybe a CCG, with you earning random "teammates" for your deck as you win card based "combat"?

The premise of this game is really cool

Huh, this might be my newest purchase

this voiceover script sounds like a fanfic level writing haha

I'm off to play planetbase seeing as though this isn't available yet

Um, so the wormhole has massive gravity on one side, enough to rip up the moon? Wow! Okay. And you go through it (and somehow don't get crushed heading toward it)? Unlikely. And what does it do on the other side? How the heck does that work? I have many questions... Like "Can Superman pee into the wind?". The world may never know.

I probably missed it, but is there a reason the base is in a geostationary orbit that causes the planet to block the sunlight? Other than it's a gameplay mechanic?

I would assume that since the primary module is fully functional the wires will already have been built into the walls, any further expansion will just connect to existing plugs. That´s how regular buildings are built, you plan ahead for any future electrical wiring. Connecting/arranging wires after building a structure just doesn´t sound very practical.

This modular base system reminds me of No man sky or Subnotica.

8:00 space waffle lol

This game reminds me of StellarHub, the 2D version of this game.

i wanted to see some crew get healed

I was THINKING about getting this game, BUT then I looked at the steam news and community page, and oh boy am I glad I did. This game is BROKEN to all hell and back, with people saying as recently as January 2nd, 2022 that once you get past the opening few missions and things start to get a little more demanding. The AI bugs out to the point where the game is UNPLAYABLE because the AI characters dont want to do what you tell them to, they drag their feet when given tasks to complete causing you to lose the game because you cant keep up with the tasks due the AI refusing to work. I'm writing this today 1/26/2022 and NONE of the game breaking bugs in this game have been patched. And there has been ZERO updates with the devs going dark since their last update on steam on August 31st, 2021. If your considering buying this game, DON'T. There are much better space sim games out there that HAVN'T been abandoned by their devs. Just an FYI!

Yeah, unless the sun is flat as well, I'm pretty sure there's no day/night cycle in space.

Need more than one way in and out of each module otherwise you will have bottle necks.

People want to believe that there is life somewhere out there. They want to believe that perhaps our origins are not from this planet at all. But logic would dictate that if we ever came to this planet, we would have the same means by which to leave, and the fact that we have to build ships to leave, is an indication that we never arrived here in ships, because our origins are of this earth.

Looks like subnautica in space

MESOPOTAMIA!

This game has more bugs than a work house mattress

i was hearing faint clicks in the background and thought it was insects, but it's the text appearing in the game, 6:45 uuuuhgg...

Game doesn't come out until may? That sucks. Also your solar panel seems like it's gaining more than it's dipping, especially at peak hours.. additional batteries would still help. Would love to be able to try this out.

The clicking of the text is louder than the voice actor.

"E.L.D" :)

Event Horizon is Bae.

This seems very similar to Alpha Genesis 1

Seems really good but on bigger missions or sandbox modes I see how tedious a lot of this is

Cool game, I like the logistic connection mechanics, the degradation on use is interesting too. Another where I'm glad to know this channel. Cyberpunk in space card game when ? Idk but I bet that'll be here that I learn about it.

i thought i was missing something when i noticed a large majority of the latest games that came out were cyberpunk. Think it will be fantasy next? or something more like Life is Strange, in the present?

Do the game writers not know the moon orbits? O.o

Sooooooo... can we have a series? I miss those days

interesting game but it leaves too many questions. how much energy is consumed? how many rooms can one life support module support? etc.

Live is where you thrive? I heard you give good wood... maybe I'll pass on by.
