Mothership Entertainment has announced a new game called Aven Colony which will challenge players to create new space colonies.

The game will involve establishing space colonies on the planet Aven Prime where new colonies will have to be developed so the population can survive the new alien world. In true city builder fashion, the population will have to be fed, entertained, gather resources, given jobs, and prosper for a colony to grow.

There will be many different building types, a day and night cycle on the planet, a dangerous alien hazard called The Creep than can destroy a colony, environmental hazards such as giant sandworms, plague spores, shard storms and more.

The game looks quite interesting and players looking for a new city building challenge can sign-up for updates on the official site ahead of the game’s beta test.
