## About This Game
Nova Islands is a factory building and island management game. Deal with
challenges of combat, exploration, and efficiency. Explore this newfound
planet, reveal its mysteries, and make this your new home.
Your task is to build a new home on this distant planet, using all sorts of
resources like wood and rocks, and rare unknown minerals. Each new building
unlocked opens new possibilities. Start small and discover how they can work
more efficiently and make your life easier.
A big part of the game is about transforming the ‘work hard’ into ‘work
smart’. You start crafting everything by hand, then you unlock more and more
levels of automation. Your bots are one of the main tools for this!
They are self-sufficient machines built to work hard, be simple to manage, and
form as complex production chains as you want. By configuring your bots you
can decide how each island will be used and how resources will be moved around
on your production needs.
As you progress you’ll soon realize you can unlock many islands around. They
have different biomes, creatures, landmarks, caves, and NPCs for you to help
and talk to.
Combat can be a frequent thing you do in the game, or it can be avoided for
the most part.
The creatures of the planet are pacific, aggressive, or react aggressively if
attacked. Killing them also makes it possible to extract materials from their
bodies, which can be part of your production, but that’s never mandatory.
Bosses can be found in hidden areas by completing quests or exploring around.
They are designed to be a hard challenge, but we’re also trying to make a
pacifist way to overcome every boss by things like making an expensive
offering, or by solving a puzzle in their dungeon.
