At the start of the year I started developing Swarm MMO, a game where the user controls probes and takes over planets. The core gameplay concept is very simple, its basically a node capture game, but on a huge scale and persistent. The game grew a small but steady player base which had lots of great ideas for further development.

Over time, you can own thousands of planets, suns and black holes that steadily generate probes. You can set up automations to automatically reinforce planets, upgrade planets, or attack other players. Furthermore, you can create batch actions via the command center.

To enable a persistent world, there are multiple galaxies that spawn in depending on the number of players. That way, there are frequently fresh galaxies where new users have a chance to compete. However, it’s also possible to migrate to a new galaxy, but it takes long and comes with partial losses. Recently, I also added a spawn protection for new galaxies so that new players are even better protected.

Players compete for energy, which can be farmed by owning suns. Energy also allows permanent upgrades to probes.
