Ex Machinis is an online multiplayer space simulation designed to expose players to programming and robotics. In the game, which takes place against the backdrop of our real-time solar system, players program remotely piloted spacecraft to mine, manufacture, and trade goods and services.
The game uses augmented reality to project a parallel universe upon our own. In the game's re-imagined post-war history, world leaders embraced space exploration and colonization as a means of protecting mankind form the global threats that emerged in the wake of the second world war.
Ex Machinis is being developed and managed by Darwin River Software LLC with support from a number of tallented developers.
