Saw this on Youtube. Figured some of you may find it interesting. A playable version is just released and it is GREAT.

Here's a showcase video.

What is StarForge?

StarForge is a game about gathering resources, building bases, crafting anything you want, and surviving on an alien planet. Earth's star is dying and humanity transferred as much technology and resources as possible and left on a one way mission to populate another planet.

StarForge was inspired by Halo, Warcraft 3, Borderlands, Terraria, and Minecraft. It borrows elements from the RTS, FPS, RPG, Voxel Builder, Tower Defense, and Physics Sandbox genres. Wee are building a dark and serious universe and want the player to live out their own unique story on the procedural planet.

Impressive physics engine.
I like the idea of being able to build forts with an FPS. I'm not too sure about mashing so many genres together though - will have to see how that works out.

I'm always interested in these sorts of more inspirational games though.

Check through the YouTube description or torrent sites. The developers said that after the torrents were well seeded they would remove it from the actual website because the server traffic was too much.

I got it earlier. The physics are abit strange and it starts to lag after a while, but I suppose its only early alpha. looks promising.
