You&#x27;re working for an intergalactic distributor of seeds and terraforming equipment, to kickstart new planets in far away galaxies. You must deliver seeds and utilities to an unchartered region, but on your way, you crash on a small planet. Luckily, you have some equipment with you in the ship, so you&#x27;re able to spawn a base and survive. But for how long? And is the planet really deserted..? :) Well, of course not, there are aliens and other space creatures. And of course, there&#x27;s ROBO RB-23, which accompanies your adventure.The game is written in Object Pascal and uses our own game engine PasVulkan, our own physics engine, as well as our own RISC-V 64-bit emulator PasRISCV. We love to build stuff, a lot of these things are FOSS.The emulator is quite complete (even with RVV, but that&#x27;s way too slow emulated to be useful) and runs a stock kernel (6.18.3 as of today). We&#x27;re using Alpine Linux for our base distribution. All our in-game programs to interact with the planet are native RISC-V Linux programs.We also have our own (free and open source) scripting language POCA (class and prototyped based, JS&#x2F;Lua inspired, which makes it quite easy for us to script things like HUD, animal behaviour, our story flow graph, etc.We have most of the wiring ready for players to be able to program and reshape and populate the whole planet in automation, although it&#x27;s not our primary concept for the game (building stuff by hand, making the planet beautiful is also fun). As it&#x27;s a normal Linux system, you&#x27;ll be able to use Ruby, Python, or even Rust, C, C++, and Go to change and automate your world.We&#x27;re also thinking of making a bunch of small games which you can play inside the game, in the base on a computer, on an arcade machine, or in the spaceship. And of course, it also runs DOOM. We already prototyped a small 2D space shooter and a small arcade game, both playable within the game. We also feature a table with hologram games to be played, e.g. chess and a certain block game. We also plan to make this hologram game engine available from the computer, which means, you&#x27;ll even be able to program own hologram style games.We generally want to make the in-game computer more hackable in future, so that people can create and share their own little games.Currently, it&#x27;s only a sandbox game (with beginnings of automation), to build stuff with our pre-made items. You can also assemble these to other, ready-made and shareable bigger items. This is the foundation for us to further develop survival and complete our story mode.Our game is still under active development, and we finally got our Steam page ready. We have tons of other things planned, but right now, it&#x27;s more about polishing and quality for the Early Access.You can watch some videos and screenshots on our website. And we&#x27;d love to read your thoughts about his. It has been quite a ride, so far..

pi pod runs sessions of the pi coding agent in isolated sandboxes (&quot;pods&quot;) on a server you run, in composable environments.----Since moving my company towards AI-native work, I have been really frustrated by the state of &quot;agentic engineering&quot; environments. Products by the labs (claude code, codex) lock you into a single provider for your tokens. Agnostic solutions (factory, devin, arguably cursor) make you pay per-token costs. None of these products allow you to fully customize the harness, and of course they all run on someone else&#x27;s infrastructure.I&#x27;ve been an early and fervent user of pi, which I think is fantastically simple and beautiful software. I have felt it needs an environment for it to work across platforms with fully functional composability for teams.This is very much a work in progress, but for my team this has been a much needed solution and has helped us tremendously. I hope you will give it a try and let me know how you would like it to improve.
