Build a city, assemble a space fleet, and flee the Earth, all in 30 minutes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBPdjvK7dyk In T-Minus 30, you explore a post-apocalyptic environment and scavenge its resources to build enough rockets to save a small pocket of humanity.
You start with a tiny settlement, where you till, irrigate, and farm the land to feed your people. As you expand, you exploit natural resources to build homes and roadways. You seek remnants of ancient civilization, mining ancient skyscrapers for their plastics and scavenging metal from the husks of automobiles you find in long-abandoned junkyards.
With those resources, you can either go high tech, building up solar farms and hydroponics labs to stock sleek generational ships that each rescue thousands of evacuees, or stay low-tech, brute-forcing your population off the Earth by building massive numbers of 1960s era rocketry.
After 30 minutes, the end comes, and you take off. You can't save everyone, but with you, there's hope for the future of humanity. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1371750/TMinus_30/

In Elegy, you'll travel to three worlds and write stories about their long-dead societies. You’ll lose yourself in settings inspired by the works of poets Keats, Byron, and Shelley, and use the game's system of writing prompts to help create your own masterpieces.



Explore 27 different writing challenges, through which you create narratives about the worlds you visit, from multiple perspectives. In one challenge, you play an archaeologist, uncovering clues and writing about a city's final days; in another, you're a thief, composing a song about searching the wreckage for valuables; and in another, you're a bard penning a lament in rhyming couplets.



The developers created Elegy to share the joy of creative expression -- ideally, they want to give non-writers an environment in which they can tell stories. With visuals inspired by Romantic painter J. M. W. Turner, the game provides a playground for individual imagination, and a community where everyone is an artist. Elegy's developers, Dejobaan Games and Popcannibal, are leaving the discussion of what art or a game is to critics, and merely asking gamers, "What will you write?"



When you've finished writing a story, share it with other players via Steam Workshop; then read others' works, and commend your favorites.
