Aven Colony

Aven Colony is a city-building game about establishing humanity’s first settlement beyond the solar system. On Aven Prime, you build and expand small colonies into sprawling cities, manage infrastructure, resources and citizens’ well-being, and work to keep the settlement prosperous in a harsh environment.

Aven Prime

The planet has deserts, tundras, jungles and wetlands, as well as a low-oxygen atmosphere and days so long they have their own seasons. Its dangers include extreme electrical storms, shard storms, dust devils and toxic gas eruptions from geothermal vents. Aven Prime is also home to giant sandworms, deadly plague spores and The Creep, a vicious fungal infection.

Govern your colony

As Colony Governor, you oversee 12 aspects of settlement life through distinct overlay modes: Crops, Citizens, Happiness, Crime, Air, Electricity, Employment, Resources, Commute, Structures, Drones and Water. Earn the respect of your colonists and rise in rank from Colony Governor to Expedition President.

Construction drones build dozens of types of structures to house colonists, establish trading routes and welcome immigrants. You can also improve existing buildings through several upgrade tiers. A day/night and seasonal cycle affects the colony: in winter, Aven Prime freezes over, farms stop growing food and solar panels generate far less electricity.

Campaign and expeditions

A single-player campaign follows a story that reveals some of Aven Prime’s secrets. You can also deploy a team of pioneers to explore alien ruins, recover artifacts, repair crashed vessels and rescue lost explorers. Expeditions may bring the team into contact with plague and Creep spore nests, splinter groups, rebels and the planet’s remaining robot guardians.
