You're rocket acts as a safe place for you in the early game, but eventually when you have air supplied to you're base and rocket fuel to send the rocket home you can begin to earn funding to unlock new technologies.

My name is Ryan Saunders, I was born in 1979 in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. I went to Mohawk College for computer science software engineering, and I have worked in the field for a while. Around 2019 I decided I wanted to create solo games free from anyone else's ideas other than the players. This allows me to make games of passion, not of profit. Please refer to the main page of this website if you would like more detailed insight into my story.
Survivng Ceres Origins
Surviving Ceres was born from my love of survival games, logistics games, city builders, and simulation games. I love survival games, but I wanted to remove tedious gathering by combing logistics and automation. I want the focus to be on base building and crafting. Which is why crafting is done in a simulation style, and importing / exporting rockets from earth is a key part of the game loop.
In order to make the game I wanted. It would need to deep and complex on the crafting side. To make this a reality I decided to add in a management side with colonists, and make colonists a part of advanced crafting and terraforming.
I went public with a prototype, and then a tech demo. This has allowed me to work with players at all stages of development, making up for the fact I am a solo dev. I always want the community to be a large part in the games development, and I will always look to reward my most loyal players.
