Set in a "very slightly alternative" 1970s, Bad Moon Rising is loosely based on the real-life declassified Project Horizon files, originally produced in 1959 by the US Army about the practicalities of military moonbases. It will have quite a lot of juicy hard science technical detail as a result, though there will also be a healthy amount of science fiction as well.

Gameplay will be mainly based around the following:

• Resource management and base-building in order to build and develop moonbases

• Conducting defensive and offensive operations to interfere with the rival nation(s), including warfighting, albeit on a small scale

• Choosing how best to operationalise new discoveries and technological developments as they appear

• Information operations and propaganda as you create political capital out of successes

• Politicking to gain advantage, or to negotiate with allies

• Logistics planning and operations for getting key personnel and materials to and from the Moon
