Gaia Maker

Gaia Maker is a planet-wide simulation game of terraforming, based on real physics and geology. As the planet's overseer, wield advanced technologies to reshape barren planets into life-filled worlds. Foster animal life, cultivate civilizations, or destroy them. Their fate is in your hands.

Gaia Maker is a planet-wide simulation game of terraforming, based on real physics and geology. Become the planetary overseer and use advanced planetary engineering to terraform lifeless planets into lush green worlds. How the planet develops is entirely up to you.This demo version offers essentially the same gameplay experience as the full version, but with the following limitations:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>In-game achievements will not sync with Steam.</li><li>There are three types of planets to choose from at the start. More are planned for the full version.</li></ul><picture><source srcset="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3737480/extras/d4b8547e47a6291092548b2162f83f3e.apng?t=1751495574"><img src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3737480/extras/d4b8547e47a6291092548b2162f83f3e.poster.avif?t=1751495574" class="bb_img" width=616 height=256 /></picture><h2 class="bb_tag" >Planetary Simulation</h2>Various factors across the entire planet, such as insolation, temperature, atmospheric composition, and the carbon cycle, are dynamically simulated based on real physics and geology. Every action the player takes affects all aspects of the planet's condition.<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3737480/extras/25b54020d609d27965644c7371b84b35.avif?t=1751495574" width=616 height=336 /><h2 class="bb_tag" >Terraforming</h2>Players are given various means for terraforming. Construct Dyson swarms to secure needed energy, build giant mirrors to regulate stellar light, and produce oxygen necessary for life with oxygen generators.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Animals and Civilizations</h2>You can have animals inhabit planets with suitable environments. Furthermore, you can evolve some animals, granting them civilization.The development, wars, decline, energy consumption, and planetary impact of civilizations are also meticulously simulated. Civilizations start in the Stone Age and progress until they gain the technology to harness fusion. Players can also influence the population growth and energy consumption of their civilizations, and observe how these parameters affect the evolution of their civilizations.<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3737480/extras/39031383f766608b72e443d4beaf8e9f.avif?t=1751495574" width=616 height=506 /><h2 class="bb_tag" >Diverse Planets</h2>Starting on a planet with existing oceans makes terraforming very easy. However, planets with harsh environments for life, such as ice planets or desert planets, require a slightly different approach to terraforming.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Demo Features</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Simulation of the entire planet based on real physics and geology.</li><li>Detailed simulation of temperature, biomass, carbon cycle, insolation, and atmospheric composition.</li><li>Dynamic gameplay where player actions impact the entire planet.</li><li>Resource acquisition via fusion reactors, Dyson swarms, and more.</li><li>Various facilities and methods for terraforming (e.g., oxygen generators, aerosol injection).</li><li>Animal breeding and habitat expansion.</li><li>Simulation of civilizations' evolution and their planetary impact.</li><li>Various dynamic events affecting civilizations, such as plagues and wars.</li><li>Three distinct planet types to terraform. </li></ul>
