Oxygen Debt – Running a Moon Base, a Trip to Lunar Station, and Flying Home | Pre-Alpha Gameplay

A full session of Oxygen Debt, a multiplayer space survival and colony-building game set in a 1:1-scale solar system in the year 2183. Earth is dead after a nuclear war, Mars belongs to a hostile AI, and what’s left of humanity lives on whatever air it can make. For now my colony is on the Moon. Oxygen Debt is built by one person: I’m a solo developer and everything is very much in a pre-alpha/testing state. In this video I run my base from a survey drone, sending rovers out to build, haul and lay road. I check on the manufacturing plant and plan new oxygen and life-support structures. Then I walk through my sealed habitat modules, fly a few hundred kilometers to Lunar Station to look around its hangars and concourse, and fly back home for a manual landing. It ends with a new farm dome joined onto the base’s tube network. Everything is real time and runs on a dedicated server. Planets and moons are at true scale, orbits are simulated, and the ship’s fuel is tracked. Nothing is staged or sped up.

Playtests run through the Discord, so come say hi and follow along. 🌐 https://oxygendebt.io 💬 Discord:   / discord   #OxygenDebt #SpaceGame #SoloDev #IndieGame #UnrealEngine5 #Gamedev #SurvivalGame #ColonySim #BaseBuilding #SciFi
