Looks like a very interesting 4x and city building hybrid...I think I'm going to back it.

That, 'Fully destructible environment' wouldn't have anything to do with that would it? <:-)
Every environment is fully destructible for JH.
That does look like a good game.
Wow....quite intriguing. Nice find JH.
For some reason, I kept thinking of ant farms when I watched the kickstarter video. :P
That preview is beautiful, fascinating, extremely unusual and I have no idea if I want to kickstart it. I need time to wrap my head around it.
Thank you Jarhead for sharing !
I am the dev of Antimatter, I am happy to see my project gets some attention here :)

Man, funny thing is that I always thought that the next game I'll develop using Antimatter's game engine is a sort of god sims, ants civilisation simulator. I am a big fan of ants related things and used to maintain an ants empire at the farm, as a kid (but that is my dark megalomaniac side). :D

So I guess he particularly enjoys destroying stuff ? What about incinerating whole forests ?

^Welcome! You'll have to ask him. Only one man speaks for JH.
So the project quickly reached its goal and I am into stretch goal territory and this is a fun one.
(https://i.ibb.co/GtbrkCR/Stretchgoal.png)
To elaborate a bit more, it is currently possible to terraform the terrain with some tool, you can alter the destructible environment but so far there is no terraforming at planetary scale.
The goal is to allow huge terroforming project with planified modification of the atmosphere, biosphere, geology and even the planet orbit (with thruster for exemple). The good news is that most planetologic things are already simulated thanks to the accretion model I use for planet formation and the complex atmospheric simulation, so a planet-wide terraformation expansion is much closer that we may may think :)
Also, pollution will have an effect for the whole planet and will participate to the atmospheric simulation.
I just love playing with planet simulation, my hard-drive is full of things like that, I hope I'll reach that stretch goal ^^.

I went to back it, but it does not accept PayPal.
Looking forward to it and backed it! :)
Thanks guys :)
Yes, Kickstarter does not accept paypal, but I will create a post-kickstarter page, with paypal to help finance the developpment.
Still making progress. Steam page up. Looks really epic!

It has been a while since I have posted here so you may look at the 2021 devlogs as well if that interests you.
Looks impressive! Keep it up!!
Promptly wishlisted!
fyi: a demo for Antimatter is available for the duration of Steam 4x fest (ends Aug 18th).

Weird, I thought I wishlisted it, but when I searched it didn't show up tagged for the list.
Downloaded the demo though. 2Gig demo seems substantial!
Its in rough shape.
There's a game breaking bug in the vanilla demo - you have to go into steam and access the beta demo called 'main'
