PROSPECT THE FRONTIER

Space Prospector is an upcoming terminal ASCII exploration game about charting strange worlds, finding valuable resources, and deciding who gets the spoils as you shape galactic power.

Through your ship's computer, you travese a huge, procedurally generated galaxy - an open sandbox to explore planets and moons across thousands of systems.

A single developer's labour of love inspired by classics like Elite, Star Control, Dwarf Fortress and Warsim.
