I'm Max, from Verona, Italy. I'm building this game on my own, in the evenings, after a day spent writing software for heat pumps. Not exactly adjacent to alien invasions, I know.

The game is an idle game where you play the alien hive taking over the Earth. What makes it different is where it starts: from your own city. You type Verona, Lyon or Osaka, the hive is born there, and from there it spreads across a real globe. Like any idle game, it keeps going while you're away.

I've been working on it for about four months. I'm a programmer, not an artist, so the aliens are essentially a color creeping across the map, and the planet is built from real satellite imagery. Some parts will look rough for a while. I'd rather be upfront about that than have you discover it.

There is no premium currency and no timers you can pay to skip. You buy the game once, and that's the whole deal.

I'll post updates here whenever I have something worth showing. I'm not going to commit to a schedule, because with one or two hours a night I would break it within a week.

If this sounds like your kind of game, adding it to your wishlist and hitting Follow helps more than anything else at this stage. And if you feel like it, tell me your city in the comments. I'm curious to see where people would start.
