Developers were last heard from in February 2018, when they published an update that converted it from a 2D game to an isometric 3D game. Even that news was after considerable delay, during which the developer said there were negotiations going on behind the scenes they couldn’t talk about. There has been no word since; the game remains in a highly-problematic, unfinished state.
In The Sentient, you play as an artificial intelligence who is asked to help mankind’s failing space exploration plans. Being able to process data relatively quickly you are tasked with bringing as much research and knowledge back to Earth via an orbital station known as “The Ark.” At the Ark, you are able to recruit a crew, alter the layout of your ship, and perform research to improve current and new technology in order to aid you on future missions. When away from the Ark, your decisions can result in the life or death of not only your ship but of your crew. Space is a vast unknown so everything must be discovered in order to attempt to work with or against aliens.
Key Features:
1) Procedurally-generated: Explore unpredictable sectors of space.
2) Choose a crew: Recruit a crew with perks and daily needs. Train them well and become stronger.
3) Fully-customizable ship: Design and optimize the complete layout of your ship – from the number of shield generators to toilets. Everything is in your hands!
