Type III
A single-player space colonization game where you develop your system and eventually the galaxy.
About this project
What it does
Type III is a cozy, long-horizon 4X game about growing a civilization from one system toward the galaxy. A seeded star map provides the setting for exploration, colonies, ships, structures, ownership, construction, and resource flows, with the simulation advancing in clear time slices rather than demanding frantic input.
The framework is intentionally generic so early fuel, metal, stations, and colonies can later expand into science, food, influence, trade goods, fleets, diplomacy, automation, narrative events, and megastructures. The current public version is an in-development strategy sandbox focused on readable systems and deliberate planning.
What you can do
- Explore a seeded galaxy and inspect planetary systems
- Manage resources, colonies, ships, structures, and ownership
- Issue orders that resolve through a visible time-slice simulation
- Plan production, movement, construction, and exploration over long horizons
- Play an evolving prototype designed for future trade, diplomacy, and megastructures
