BossConstructor

BossConstructor is a game about building and flying your own spaceship. The core feature of the game is its editor which allows you to assemble your own ships based on a number of components.

Building your ship
The core feature of the game is its editor which allows you to freely assemble your own ships using a variety of modules. The way you build your ships determines how they behave and what they are capable of doing. Since every module costs money, weight and energy, designing a good ship is a challenging yet rewarding task.

Expedition
The game will feature a number of missions which test your design and piloting skills. The missions include combat and survival missions as well as mining missions. The expedition mode lets you explore a procedurally generated galaxy inhabited by the von-Neumann, an evolving AI species. You begin with a basic ship and advance as you discover new enemy species and scavenge for more powerful components to improve your ship. If you prefer to design your ship without contraints, you can do so in the free mission/sandbox mode which lets you play any of the game's missions with any ship.

Artificial Intelligence
Being a single player game, a lot of attention is given to the game's artificial intelligence system. The von-Neumann enemies you encounter in the expedition mode are created using elaborate artificial evolutions, in which a vast number of mutating ships have competed for survival. Several bonus game modes allow you to lean back and watch how different AI species compete with each other for survival.
