Autonauts is programming fun on PC later in the year
Curve Digital has announced that they are helping Denki, bring the latest game from Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings Creative Director, Autonauts to PC this Spring. The game will offer players the chance to explore the universe and colonise procedurally-generated planets, utilising the help of fully programmable AI helpers.
Fresh from your spaceship you must harvest stick and stone and begin your colonisation efforts. Create rudimentary crafting items from blueprints and build dozens and dozens of different workerbots to make your new planet a fully functioning home. Teach AI helpers their duties by showing them what you’d like them to do step-by-step, be it cooking, farming, mining or construction, and then Autonaut’s variety of different helper bots will carry out their duties until they are complete or you can loop activities indefinitely.
In essence, players code A.I. to do their bidding utilising a visual programming language which is powerful but easy to pick-up, with hundreds of different construction options to unlock.
There is quite a list of things that you can do, Denki kindly provided the highlights in a list form:
Playful Programming
Teach your workerbots requisite steps to complete tasks by asking them to repeat actions utilising a visual programming language. Designed to be easy to learn but with added complexity there are numerous possibilities.
Automated Automation
Build an army of bots to automate just about everything in your colony, teach them what to do and expand both their brains and task possibilities with numerous upgrades and options.
Various Ventures
From gathering to building, cooking, fishing, tailoring, farming, animal husbandry and more - the world of Autonauts is vast with limitless opportunities to automate and colonise.
Charming Creativity
The world of Autonauts pops to life with a low-poly art-style married with a consistent and bright colour palette adding depth and scale, creating a relaxing and attractive play space.
