A downloadable game

Note: This is an early prototype. Please do not be afraid to give constructive criticism.

Humanity has finally gone ahead and pushed itself to explore and settle the last frontier. You are among the first astronauts to land on the moon in generations. Your job is to build and grow the first off-world colony into a city. Your efforts will allow human civilization to spread to the moon, and beyond.

In this game, you are a lone astronaut with a small set of tools. You will gather resources and build up a lunar city.

This is pretty cool, Making a building mode and a first person mode really sits the game differently from other game, My feedback would be:

  • 1 - a sensitivity slider is a good addition 
  • 2 - a tutorial for dumb people like me
  •  3 - more precise inputs like adding a button that toggles the airlock or get the item from the drill when your aiming at it for example 
  • 4 - more automation perhaps like a pipe that connects the drill to the furnace so it automatically smelts the iron  

yeah thats pretty much all i got, im really interested to see what it turns to :)
