Play with Science

Create complex factories and explore a storied verse in LithoBreak. Step into the grav-boots of Eli (Sam McMurray), a moon mining inventor keeping SARA (Julie Ann Emery), an illegal AI, safe from the Verse. Explore a space station, collect resources, and build advanced production systems.

Explore numerous moons throughout the Aristarchus binary star system while unlocking ever advanced technologies. The core gameplay is further enhanced with the inclusion of science and engineering concepts.

  • Every system is made of parts that wear down and break

  • Every part has a durability based upon what material is selected

  • Stations, transports, moons and planets orbit in real time

 Welcome to the Verse

Follow us on YouTube for monthly updates and socials for sneak peeks:

 

Core Features

Materials

Ceramics

The foundational materials. Every ceramic is a mixture of crystals. Different mixtures lead to different properties.

Metals

supporting a large operation. Metals are converted from appropriate ceramics and ores, requiring processing systems and power.

Fluids

Fluids support more advanced exploration and production. fuels are used in rocket engines and chemicals for electronics production.

Parts

Material

Each base part is made of a material. The better the material selection, the better the durability and performance.

Compound

More complex parts are pieced together from multiple base parts. Each base part property influences the final part performance.

System

Completed systems have higher uptime and complete tasks faster depending on the quality of parts installed.

Systems

Rovers

Gather materials and construct facilities with an army of automated helpers. these massive machines can move mountains on the moons!

Producers

Convert Materials into parts with true-to-life properties. Different materials may be selected for availability or better durabilitY.

Factories

Plan immense factories and watch the rovers go to work, placing every part and maintaining the site

Explore and exploit moons within a storied verse

Disclaimer: LithoBreak is active development, so some features mentioned are not fully implemented

About:

In a universe rich in lore and intrigue, LithoBreak challenges players with a blend of resource management, first-person exploration, and top-down construction gameplay.  Game mechanics and visuals are deeply inspired by the sciences and sci-fi works, with the development being led by Christian Moe who holds a Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics.

Episodes:

Step into the grav-boots of Eli, a moon mining inventor keeping SARA, an illegal AI, safe from the Verse.  Explore and repair Karo Station in orbit of the Empedocles moon in the Aristarchus star system. Utilize moon resources and equipment controlled through the mining console for maintenance and materials to advance Eli’s plans.  The story is directed by Kevin Earley, a director/singer/actor that has graced many stages including Broadway thrice over.

Multiplayer:

Taking place after the episodes, jump onto the surface of the Empedocles moon with some friends. Walk around amongst the massive mining equipment and survive the harsh realities of space. Configure your own vehicles and habitats from hex modules to explore and create your own home amongst the stars.

Core concepts:

  • Equipment Wear: All equipment and buildings visually wear down and break. Builder rovers automatically construction and maintain equipment with available parts.

  • Material Science: Materials come in multiple material variants, influencing part durability. Equipment is used to purify silica from regolith and smelt aluminum from alumina. Material types include ceramics, metals, and fluids.

  • Logistics & Transport: Build expansive factories that span multiple moons, ensuring seamless material transport via haulers, conveyors, trains and more.

  • Real-time Physics: Experience the intricacies of space with real-time orbital mechanics.

Platforms:

Steam (PC), Consoles under consideration
