Description:
Rodina is devoted to space exploration, and most of the content (including the surface of each planet) will generate a program. The game world is a "seamless", that is, the player will be able to walk around the planet to take a spaceship to leave the atmosphere and fly on all four sides, and all that - no invisible walls, teleportation and loading screens.
The main feature of Rodina - programming as an element of the gameplay. For example, the player can hack the computer enemy ship and remove the code that controls the guns to make the enemy vulnerable. Or overload the engines and blow them up. The authors state that Rodina would "encourage experimentation and require a creative approach."
