'Aven Colony' Pre-Order Gets You Beta Access

by Rainier on Sept. 8, 2016 @ 1:20 a.m. PDT

Aven Colony is a city-building and management sim that tells the story of humanity's first settlement of an extrasolar world.

Land on exotic Aven Prime, where you must construct and maintain the infrastructure and ensure the well-being of your citizens, all while dealing with the often harsh realities of an exotic alien world.

On top of this, you’ll face the greatest challenge of all — keeping your people happy. How will you feed your people? Will you be able to provide them with enough jobs, entertainment, retail outlets, and other services while protecting them from the planet’s many dangers? What social policies will you enact to influence your people? The future of the colony rests on your decisions.

Aven Colony is now available for pre-purchase ($24.99), which gives you ongoing access to the beta, which presently features two tutorial levels, five campaign missions, and four sandbox maps. Beta participants will receive continuing access throughout development and the full game at launch.
