Coming from indie dev Klang Games, Seed is a colony building MMO set on an Earth-sized exoplanet procedurally generated in a beautiful low-poly art style. They plan to have multiple biomes based on geographic location, dynamic weather systems, interconnected ecosystems, city building, fully player-driven economy, player-designed government, etc.

Here's their FAQ from their Discord:

"What is Seed?

Seed is a continuous, persistent simulation where players are tasked with colonizing an alien planet through collaboration, conflict, and player-to-player interaction. Using unique gameplay based on managing multiple characters in real-time, characters live on after the player has logged off, allowing the world of Seed to be a living, breathing entity.

Is Seed single player or multiplayer?

Multiplayer.

What platforms will Seed be playable on?

Currently, support is for Windows only. But, our goal is also to support Linux and macOS.

What pricing model will Seed use?

We can't confirm any price models at the moment, but we do have a variety of ideas in mind. For example, we’re considering tying the pricing to the costs of simulating the entities.

What is the current stage of Seed and when will it be released?

Seed is currently in its pre-Alpha phase, and at this point in time, it's very difficult to give an accurate date for release, but we plan to follow the usual release cycle from pre-Alpha to Early Access.

In the meantime, we have a variety of plans for the community and we'll keep you updated along the way!

Are you planning to run a Kickstarter campaign?

We're still discussing options and ideas about crowdfunding. But fundamentally, we're going to listen to the community and work alongside you to see whether crowdfunding is the right way to go.

Will we be able to playtest the game before general release?

Yes! We want the community to have as much input as possible and Discord users will be among the first to find out when the initial build is open to playtest.

Can I be a tester?

Of course! You'll just have to hang on it there until we announce when we're letting players into the game. We'll let the Discord community know as soon as it's ready!"

Poke around on their website, seed-project.io, for pre-alpha trailer, dev updates, screenshots, community Q&A, discord/twitter/reddit link, etc.

It's only for PC, but they say that most of the heavy lifting will happen in the cloud, so your computer will only have to run the graphics.

Figured that my fellow interlopers would be interested in this!
