A turn-based, perma-death, realistic space strategy game. With dice. And cannibalism.

ScreenShots:

These are a few of our favorite moments. Each game of Tharsis is unique, and interesting situations always arise.

TIP: Each module has an ability. You can get food, repair the ship, even reduce stress or gain more assist.

Concept Art:

We wanted the ship to be modernized and relevant, but also have a retro feel. These Iktomi renderings by Rupy helped set the tone for the whole game.

Concept Art by: Rupy Bhogal.

Paper Prototype:

The core systems for Tharsis were developed on paper. This gave the team a chance to rapidly prototype and openly talk about challenges and issues in realtime.

LEGO IKTOMI:
