Suffered through the beginning because Baron is so obnoxious and my mortal enemy (literally almost closed the game adjsakjdlsajd). But otherwise LOVED. The art is gorgeous, the concept is excellent, and the writing is really well done. The characters are all wonderful (except Baron. Kill.) and feel super fleshed out.
Nibbles Dandelions for president.
(note, i played the browser version. will probably play the download version again when I've got time.)

Veke
We first became aware of the Veke in 4054. They inhabit the abundant planet Qede in the Oxnexnovex system. They are timid, fearful, and studious.
The Veke make extensive use of stone tools for many things. This has dramatically improved their efficiency in hunting the wild qoxo.
The Veke have begun to cultivate crops. They are especially fond of a kind of tasty fruit known as jeknekveqoek.
The Veke have domesticated a species of small flying animals. The pets assist their Veke owners with hunting in exchange for food and shelter.
The Veke have developed a simple system of writing, which they use primarily for worship.
Despite a few early mishaps, the Veke have mastered the control of fire. They use it to cook their food, and to light their villages at night.
The Veke have begun to watch the skies and recognize patterns in the movements of stars, which they use to navigate over great distances and keep track of time.
The Veke have developed a sophisticated understanding of basic mathematics, such as arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.
The Veke have learned how to catch water-dwelling creatures such as the neke, which is now a staple part of the Veke diet.
The Veke have begun to construct permanent dwellings and other structures. They make especially extensive use of marble as a building material.
The Veke have discovered how to forge molten metal into jewelry, tools, weapons, and armor.
In 4263, a rapidly growing religion known as Oxveknevoek was declared the official religion of the largest Veke state. Adherents of Oxveknevoek wear striking blue masks to mark themselves as believers.
The Veke have built elaborate pipe and sewer systems to supply their larger settlements, such as Jekvexneved, with fresh water and a hygenic means of waste disposal.
The Veke have learned how to build ships and sail them across the oceans of Qede to explore and trade over increasingly greater distances.
The Veke have begun to make use of more sophisticated construction techniques, relying on sturdy structural elements such as arches and buttresses to support larger and larger buildings.
The Veke have begun to use lenses and mirrors made from polished crystal, glass, and water to redirect and focus light.
Some of the Veke have begun to experiment with alchemy, systematically searching for new ways of combining and manipulating ingredients to yield useful chemicals, compounds, and medicines.
The Veke have begun to construct wind and water mills, which redirect the forces of the natural world to perform repetitive mechanical tasks such as grinding grain and pumping water.
The Veke have developed a simple printing press, and mass-produced versions of important texts have begun to circulate widely throughout the world. Political pamphlets are especially popular.
In 4389, the Veke population reached 25 million individuals. Many of these reside within permanent cities, the largest of which is known as Jekvexneved and has a population of 61,000.
The Veke have developed a practical and cost-effective steam engine, which can be fueled with wood or coal.
The Veke have discovered a way to manufacture gunpowder, which they primarily use for explosive mining.
Following a long series of failed attempts to besiege the city, Jekvexneved has become renowned among the Veke as an impenetrable fortress. The image of its distinctive ramparts has been widely adopted in Veke literature as a symbol of strength.
In 4426, many of the warring Veke tribes were united under a single banner by an individual known as Vjekvejk. The resulting empire has its capital at Jekvexneved and rules over approximately 34% of the entire Veke population. Unusually for the Veke, it is governed by a hereditary monarch.
In their efforts to understand the motion of planets in the sky, free-falling bodies, and projectiles, the Veke have developed a new branch of mathematics which is immediately recognizable as calculus.
The Veke have begun to develop rockets.
Through systematic observation and categorization of the various living things on Qede, the Veke have begun to develop a more sophisticated understanding of biology. Some theorists have even put forth the idea that dramatically different-looking organisms, such as the qoxo and the neke, may in fact be descended from a single common ancestor.
The Veke have successfully tamed electricity, and are now beginning to deploy it throughout society. Electric lights are widespread, electric motors are used to drive factories, and the growing need for electric power has led to the construction of power plants near every major center of Veke population.
The Veke have developed flying machines which can carry them into the skies above Qede.
The Veke have begun harnessing the power of electricity to send messages across very great distances with unprecedented speed. Due to the overhead of encoding and decoding messages, long-distance communication remains far from instantaneous, but it is now possible for individuals on opposite sides of Qede to exchange several messages over the course of a single day.
The idea that diseases can be caused by microorganisms has begun to catch on among the Veke, leading to the widespread adoption of public health policies which have greatly reduced the spread of disease.
The Veke have arrived at a sophisticated understanding of genetics, which has enabled them to craft new forms of life by deliberately modifying the genes of existing organisms.
The Veke have developed an accurate model of the internal structure of the atom, which has also enabled them to understand the phenomenon of radioactivity.
The Veke have discovered that electromagnetic waves may be used to transmit information, enabling the development and widespread deployment of media for audiovisual broadcasting.
With the development of the transistor, the Veke have begun to construct more sophisticated electronic circuits.
The Veke have begun to build general-purpose programmable computers.
In 4657, the Veke successfully detonated their first prototype nuclear weapon. It remains unclear whether the Veke scientists who worked on the bomb understand the sheer destructive potential of the weapon they have created.
The Veke have begun to connect their computers into a single vast network, enabling communication and collaboration on a truly global scale.
The Veke have taken their first tentative steps into space, launching craft capable of supporting several individuals into orbit around Qede before retrieving them safely.
The Veke have developed a form of artificial general intelligence which rivals many of their own intellectual capabilities.
In 4683, a single nuclear weapon was deployed in an attack on a small Veke city. The incident did not escalate into a full-scale nuclear war, but the city was almost completely obliterated, resulting in the deaths of some 210,000 Veke.
The Veke have begun to understand quantum physics.
The Veke have constructed their first cost-effective quantum computers, dramatically improving their collective ability to perform certain types of calculation.
The Veke have begun to experiment with the use of "intelligent materials", in the form of swarms of programmable nanobots.
The Veke have begun to establish permanent colonies on worlds other than Qede. Although still largely unable to travel outside of the Oxnexnovex system, the distribution of Veke civilization across multiple worlds greatly reduces the risk that they will collapse due to any crisis of merely planetary scale.
In 4720, following decades of negotiation, the various sovereign Veke nations came to an agreement concerning the establishment of a unified planet-wide government for all of the Veke.
Through their investigations of quantum phenomena, the Veke have discovered a means of sending and receiving messages which travel at speeds exceeding that of light itself.
The Veke have successfully tested their first faster-than-light starship. No longer are they trapped within the gravity well of the Oxnexnovex system: they are now free to take their place alongside us as fellow wanderers among the stars.
In 4755, the Veke joined us.
