The landscape in StarRupture doesn’t always look so homely, even idyllic.
The sun. It is the life-giving center of our solar system and billions of its sisters populate the universe. A new survival base building game The Green Hell maker wants to let us experience what it feels like to experience a less mild-tempered home star every day.
Welcome to StarRupture. On Steam there is already a shop page.

Every time he interrupts everyday processes and represents a shock to the usual. Every rupture brings change. The developers also tell you more about this in their first devlog.

StarRupture: The sun rules the roost in this new base-building survival game
Collect, build, survive: You collect resources alone or with a maximum of three other players, explore the world and construct machines that mine, harvest and create new things themselves.
This is how you build industrial chains to automate the processes in your base. Ultimately, you need the technologies and raw materials to permanently defy the whims of the star in the unforgiving environment – and then there are aliens.
Aliens: These also populate the planet and want to get to you. It’s all about making weapons, loading them and equipping them. Because the next horde of grumpy monsters is definitely coming.
