Known Worlds

You are in the role of a star captain. This galaxy is wild and untamed, but every decision you make can impact how the fate of nations play out. Or just try to loot the most whales. It's your choice.

Made for 7DRLx17, this is a 2d space ship roguelike that got out of hand, until the knife of reality dismembered the featuritis, and a lot more than that. Oh, and there are space laser fights. 

How is this a roguelike? I'll admit I adhere to a looser interpretation, focusing on permadeath and highscores rather than tiles and ascii.

Loosely inspired after a dwarf fortress binge and tarn adams interview. There is a low amount of persistence, but that does not significantly impact gameplay. Very much based on the original strange adventures in infinite space. Art all original, but heavily referenced from starsector. Oh, and star trek's probably in there somewhere too.
