Moons of Ardan

Moons of Ardan is an exploration, city-building, and colony simulation game set across the moons of a real-time simulated planetary system. A small band of stranded Axonauts (humanoid generation-ship survivors) must rebuild after their massive ship collided with the moon Velaa in 2124. Forge a new existence from the moon's resources, master sustainable production, and grow into a multi-lunar space-faring society.

The gameplay blends Anno-style city-building with the added complexity of a dynamic simulated planetary system. Manage production chains, balance resources against rising population, expand to neighboring moons, unlock new technologies, and establish trade routes. Pollution and ecological threats demand attention alongside aesthetic considerations. Energy distribution, factory slot worker limits, and job prioritization layer in deeper optimization for those who want it.

The handcrafted planetary system features a gas giant, 3 habitable moons, and 4 asteroids. Population progresses through 4 distinct stages, 60+ unique buildings can be constructed and upgraded, 65+ technologies across 6 science types support research, and over 45 resource types fuel growth. Original tailor-made soundtrack by Christophe Hubermont, a story-driven mission system, comprehensive tutorial integrated into the narrative, and gridless organic city-building round out the package.
