Hey, After a slight hiatus in a form of life in general here is finally the next bigger update with new features and a new level. Hope you enjoy it. If you got suggestions for the next version name, let us know. If it's silly, it might end up to be used ;-) Here are some highlights of this release: Adventure continues! Enter the dark Caves of CMOS.
Cyberscapeologists have completely new functionality after certain new technologies available: Enter fog of war...
Fight back, with a whip of course!
Ignite torches to reveal FoW!
Build museums!
And bring back ancient relics of unknown origins!
No probe available underground so it's permantenly dark and your cyberscapeologists with their new abilities can help you. ------

FAQ

How often do you intend to update the Early Access version? Depends a bit of what kind of update we're cooking up, but we're hoping big updates such as new levels and features would not be around 4 to 6 weeks. However since our team is small, we cannot guarantee this. What we can promise is to do our best. Does the game work on OSX? Absolutely! And Linux? Oh yes! Consoles? Mobile? Nope. Maybe in the future consoles might be interesting. I found a bug or I got suggestions! We're sure you do, and we're asking you to let us know in our über-elite bug tracker and forum thing at forums What about multiplayer? We'd love to do a co-op multiplayer, but it's not really viable right now. Help us out by getting some wind under our wings and it becomes more realistic :) ------

Explore Cyberscape

"Welcome to Cyberscape, User!"

You've already spent a lot of time on your computer. It's time for you to learn what really goes on inside!

In this bizarre, yet somehow familiar environment live small digital life-forms called Hexters. It is your role to assist these little guys and learn about bits, bytes, polygons and hexadecimals (it's all nonsense by the way).

Meet some helpful programs

Interesting and quirky programs will help you to unlock the secrets of the Cyberscape.

Build and expand

Start from a meager Hub - the center of your operations - and plan your expansion. Everything must be connected to your node network for power to flow.

Power is life

Nothing works in this world without power, and there are only so many computational cycles available. Make sure you always have enough of them to power up your buildings, otherwise bear the consequences of inefficiency.

Extract, collect, refine and improve

Find all the resources available to you and build refineries, extractors, polysmiths and other buildings to improve them.

Day & Night cycle

Even inside a computer it can get scary when it's dark. Hexters prefer to stay inside the base perimeter during the night, and move slowly outside with their flashlights while figuratively pooping their pants (which incidentally has no visual nor mechanical representation whatsoever). Hope you generate enough power as you need to recharge your illumination probe for night to end.

Oh, by the way: During the night... There be dragons.

Fight back

There's all kinds of problems inside a computer, like viruses and glitches. And those things wants you GONE, permanently. You will need to come up with some creative ways to stand your ground and survive.
