About Ceres

Ceres is the debut title of development studio Jötunn Games. It’s a complex, fast paced 3D space combat simulator and focuses on ship customization and fast, hectic combat. With RPG elements, trade and mining. 

Earth has been destroyed. Humans, machines and monsters fight over what’s left.

Take control of a squadron of ships in full 3D space combat. Explore, battle and trade your way through a pirate, machine and monster-infested solar system.

Game Features:

  • Lead a squadron of ships and fight through a mission-driven storyline the way you see fit.
  • Third person view and simple yet deep point-and-click order system.
  • Manage your set of skills as you gain experience. Special perks also appear when you perform well.
  • Hire captains and crews for your squadron’s ships. Watch them gain experience as they fight by your side.
  • Heavily customize your ships with equipment or weapons of different origins. Modify ship’s modules, armour, weapons, sensors or countermeasures.
  • Dozens of ship types which can be acquired and commanded, from the smallest corvette to the mightiest battleship.
  • Loot anything that floats in space, trade items around the solar system to gain extra income, or salvage wrecked ships and even capture hostile vessels with boarding.

History

The development for Ceres began as a programming exercise for the Unity3D engine.  With multiple restarts and breaks, the initial project started to form around 2011. Developer Jötunn Games started out with no design document but with just the idea to create a rough Homeworld clone. Simply some big slow ships with fighters, drones to mine asteroids and a hostile force to fight with. 
But the game continued to grow and it was around 2013 that it started to get more attention online. 
Captains were added to the game, modules – both internal and external-, complex ship management 
systems came in existence along with AI’s and crews. 
The game grew into more than solely a Homeworld clone. It had become an original project, a game 
titled Ceres.
