I asked myself this question, if I cannot come up with 50 reasons to support Violent Sol Worlds then why would you? So here is my list…
The Art – It’s a top-down stylized survival experience that looks like a graphic novel in action.
The AI Overlord – Nothing will remain the same for long. If you get good at surviving in your current situation then the AI overlord will generate a special experience to mix things up for you.
The Cars – What good is a near infinite world you get to walk around? In this game you can walk or drive, gotta love that!
The Creatures – There are an absolute ton of creatures going in to the game. All I have to say is Rhino Turtle.
Crafting Cars – There have been plenty of games with crafting in them, how about crafting a car? Can anyone say tank?
Crafting Guns – you don’t just buy guns, you can make them. Put the coolest laser rifle together to match your game play. Heck just make a laser chainsaw.
The Corporations – The universe is being colonized with massive help from companies. Here are a few – Mal-Atomic, Avrio, The RTA
Is that enough yet? Come see our Greenlight and give us a quick vote.
The Biomes – the planet will be diverse and varied. There will be a ton of biomes for all he creatures to live in, from forests, to deserts and every other thing you can think of.
Building – You don’t just survive on a distant planet, you survive by building and adapting. Construction of buildings is a huge part of the game.
The Universe – Trust me the universe has a level of backstory that a sandbox survival game has not touched. Each corporation, each faction, came from somewhere. Nothing just exists, it all has purpose and evolution.
Farming – A man has to eat. You will be able to plant crops and grow your own food for survival or profit.
The Maker – A key part of your survival in Violent Sol Worlds is the Maker. It is the technology that allows for you to store molecular configurations of object and essentially print them from raw matter for use in your daily activities. Need a gun, make it. Need a car, make it.
The Technology – There is a huge mix of technology to be used. Anything from an automatic miner to some old-time cars. You will be shooting laser rifles, and conventional weapons. You might even see some sort of hover bike, or laser chainsaws.
The History – How did a recycling company go from Earth to helping people light years away reconfigure molecules to form a lase pistol? Well the history of Renew tells you that. Nothing in Violent Sol Worlds is just thrown in, it all makes sense in the history of the universe.
Laser Weapons – Who does not love the idea of some top-down action with lasers? I’m in.
Is that enough yet? Come see our Greenlight and give us a quick vote.
Aircraft – So you can drive cars, why not fly? So there are aircraft, and you can craft them.
Car Physics – Each car is simulated in a physics engine. This allows for different terrain to change how a car handles as well as tires blown from gun shots.
Lighting – It’s not enough to have a cool comic book feel. How about true lighting and shadows to help with the feeling of explosions and lasers flying around?
Conventional Weapons – Not everything is high tech. Sometimes a nice shotgun does that job well and cheaply.
Top-down – Survival is awesome. How about survival from a tactical top down view with action combat?
The Mal-Atomic Device – You get to use a scifi device called the Mal-Atomic to help with your crafting. It’s like an iPhone but more scifi and can help rearrange molecules.
Pets – You can have a pet cat, dog, or whatever. Yes this is a thing.
Turrets – The game might just be cruel to you, so build some turrets for defense. Laser turrets to help ward off attackers, expensive but effective.
Wild West Scifi – We landed on a wild west settler vibe for the game. So it is scifi, but there are some wonderful wild west feels to the world as you attempt to settle the wilds of the Rim.
Is that enough yet? Come see our Greenlight and give us a quick vote.
Living World – You are a settler on a planet that will not stop trying to kill you. Much like the old west on Earth it will keep throwing events at you that change up how you need to play to survive.
The Team – I like to call our team a dream team of game development. Not one with super stars on it but one that is truly a team built for an unforeseen victory. Meet the Team
Weather – There will be sun and there will be rain. Each weather event can help or hurt you.
Open Development – Join our development by giving suggestions and feedback starting now. You can also just watch us on Twitter and our website and see the progress of nearly everything we do.

Modding – The game is being built from the ground up for you to mod. This game will be able to live longer than most because of the new content you can produce for it at its core.
The Music – The music is composed purely for this game. You will not hear the music anywhere else.
Don’t Walk Drive Mentality – This is a huge world you are settling on. Don’t just walk for miles, drive. We want you to be able to see a lot of places so cars are vital to this survival game and will be in from the early stages.
The Dream – The idea of the Violent Sol Universe is huge. There are plans for many things beyond Violent Sol Worlds. Supporting us early keeps this dream alive. See the dream here

Play With Friends – Surviving with friends is often times harder than alone, but oh so much more fun.
Play Alone – See if you can make it alone in a world that is harsh and unforgiving.
Run your own server – Take control of a server for your own gaming community. Don’t like most people, just your friends? start up a server and only let those who you want in.
Continuous Development – Our team is a special one. We move fast and get things done. We will not stop this game and plan on a very long haul here. We often times talk about the potential for ten years of development for content. We will develop new and fresh things for this game as long as people keep supporting it.
Create a Colony – Why are you surviving on a planet 4 light years away from Earth if not to create something larger. Work toward building a complete settlement to support more and more NPCs and players.
News Ticker – The universe is not dead while you are settling the planet. Keep track of the news as things happen. If Pirates start pestering Rim settlements yours might be next.
Is that enough yet? Come see our Greenlight and give us a quick vote.
Expand-ability – Violent Sol Worlds concentrates on planetary explorations. We are making sure we can expand into space when we want to.
Laser Chainsaw – Yes, a laser chainsaw. You gotta get wood somehow and swinging it at creatures sounds like a blast too.
Calling Home For Population – Need a mechanic? Call home and request one. They probably will need a facility, and place to live though so be prepared to have some requirements met.
The World hates you – Yes, being one of the first people to land on a planet is going to be difficult. The environment will not enjoy you and the AI overlord will make sure you have a challenge.
Equipment – It’s about the equipment. Pick up resources. Craft an awesome laser pistol. Build a car with a turret. Construct better armor.
Everything is a Resource – Kill a creature, use its horns for a new hood ornament.
Is that enough yet? Come see our Greenlight and give us a quick vote.
Action Combat – This is a top-down game so the action is going to be both tactical and fast paced.
Car Combat – Sometimes while driving things happen. Sometimes those things require a high powered laser turret. Sometimes they require missiles. All I know is be prepared to drive and shoot.
The Crystals – We are in love with the crystals. They have many properties and are the dynamic element in the universe that allows for many awesome crafting opportunities. Read a story about them here.
Your Colony Ship – You we placed on the planet by an elaborate process. Like the rest of the universe we figured it all out. About your colony ship
Simulation – We not only have action we also have simulation elements to the game as well. Many systems work under the hood of this game to make the world feel alive
Your Crate – You get dropped off on the planet on day one in your crate. Much like a train car, but this one is your home. Don’t worry in no time you will modify it and make it a lot less terrible and a little more like home.

all wrong now for the bugs. They would need to die. So I coded in hit points and had them disappear when it hit 0. This still broke the experience and the fun.
