LithoBreak brings you 11.4 light years from Earth to the Aristarchus star system (61 Cygni), where tyrannical corporations monopolize deep space. Eli, a rogue inventor and scientist, is driven to restore balance to The Verse by developing novel technologies outside the corporate grasp. Eli, played by you -the player-, strives to deliver control of humanity's future back to the people. Driven by hope and the will to restore his legacy, Eli (voiced by Sam McMurray) will have to manage and keep together his space station, under threat from both external aggression by Corporate forces and Eli's own explosive experiments. When his back is against the wall, Eli finds himself aided by SARA (voiced by Julie Ann Emery), a highly illegal and sentient AI recently added to the space station by Eli's oldest and most brilliant friend, Dr Janice Barnes. SARA is both a gift and a refugee, seeking the same goals as Eli and guiding him through until the end. <h2 class="bb_tag">Play with Science</h2>LithoBreak is a narrative driven simulation game, where you'll have to build, construct, and develop your moon mining operations in order to secure resources to achieve your goals. Use realistic science terminology, replicate proper chemical reactions and experience realistic engineering! LithoBreak aims to please both physics enthusiasts and beginners in an accessible but accurate simulation of what the future of moon mining could look like. <h2 class="bb_tag">Mine with Engineering</h2>Experience an episodic game as a deep-space moon mining mastermind working on the next big thing. In LithoBreak, there are hundreds of part types, working in a simulation capable of handling thousand of individual ones across dozens of mining sites. <ul class="bb_ul"><li> Concentrate chemical substances, and combine them to create materials. </li><li> Manufacture parts with the materials you processed. </li><li> Be careful, different materials will make different quality parts. </li><li> Parts will wear and break down over time. </li><li> Use higher quality parts to create long lasting components.</li></ul> Every material processing technology is based upon scientific principles and real process technologies. This includes: <ul class="bb_ul"><li> Sifting ceramic powder by density, </li><li> Maintaining elemental conservation. </li><li> Ensuring a thermitic reaction processes are properly ‘energetic’.</li></ul> <h2 class="bb_tag">Travel with Orbital Mechanics</h2>Everything in-game, including the station itself, is part of an orbital mechanics simulation. <ul class="bb_ul"><li>As the station orbits the moon, the moons, planets and stars move as well. </li><li>Materials needing to be transferred from site to site will also utilize this mechanic to determine movement and travel times. </li><li>The station was designed with engineering oversight, giving the space the feeling that someday, this could be real.</li></ul> <h2 class="bb_tag">Explore with Physics (in progress)</h2>LithoBreak will set the player in true-to-life sized moons to explore, with more and more features coming with each episode. You'll get to explore new moons either on foot or in vehicles, choose the best place and start building your own base (or bases!) on the surface of the moon or in orbit! Use orbital mechanics to move materials between mining bases and space stations. Make sure every need is taken care of! Story development by Julie Ann Emery (TV’s Better Call Saul, Preacher) Lead gameplay development by Christian Moe (Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering)
