Epsilon-Prime
Epsilon-prime is inspired by the classic 4x game Empire. In ε-prime a player will control units to εXplore a procedurally generated world (called ε-prime), εXploit the resource of ε-prime in order to εXpand their army of bots and eventually conquer (εXterminate?) the planet ε-prime. The player uses units (or bots), controlled either manually or via JavaScript command scripts, to manage energy use and collect resources from the ε-prime environment. These resources are used to create new units or upgrade existing units. The players goal is to collect resources in the most efficient manner possible.

It is playable now (at http://hypercubed.github.io/Epsilon-Prime/), however, many things are likely to be broken or change in a future version. Player and developer feedback is appreciated... and needed. If you like the game or the idea please give feedback or encouragement.
