Hive Xenotype

Game premise and structure

Hive Xenotype is a game set in a world where everything, including factories and military units, is alive and human in some form, altered by genetic engineering. Players operate primarily through an editor that allows for the creation of diverse units necessary for various tasks. This open-ended system provides no fixed classifications or hierarchies for the units, enabling complete freedom in building.

Unit creation

At the core of the game is the Editor, where players can combine a set of available parts to create units. You can design a heavy cargo hauler by using multiple legs and biomass sacs, or a flying scout by altering the size and equipping scanners. The game provides a collection of limbs and additional components to support these creations, allowing for infinite combinations of genetic traits and functions.
