StarForge is a game about gathering resources, building bases, buying weapons, using strategy, and destroying your opponent’s bases to win the match. It is real time and set in a first or third person perspective. Set on an alien planet, the theme is high technology, mixed with old world building mechanics. Earth has been depleted and the humans transferred as much technology and resources as possible and left on a one way mission to populate another planet. They must forge a new star. StarForge was inspired by Halo, Warcraft 3, and Minecraft. It borrows elements from the RTS, FPS, RPG, Voxel Builder, DOTA, and Physics Sandbox genres. The Game Authors define the game genre as Fort Wars.
