Description

This is an old prototype of my game. It will have a full release that you can wishlist!


Gather materials, build a spaceship and explore procedural worlds. This game prototype has the following features:

  • Spaceship-building system using panels, cables & levers
  • Realistic gravity simulation and planetary rotations
  • 2 planets, a moon and a ring system to explore
  • 1-4 players online co-op
  • Beautiful programmer art
  • Many bugs that I'm aware of and probably many more that I'm not

My goal is to create a seamless spaceship-building game where you manage fuel, oxygen, and warp capabilities to travel across the vast distances of a galaxy. If you want to follow along with the game's development, you can check out my social media:

Frequently Asked Questions

I can't see the planet or the trees. What's going on?

If you're running the game on a laptop, this is probably due to a bug with Intel iGPUs. There's nothing you can do right now, unfortunately.

Can I play creative?

Yes. Enable the dev tools in the options menus. After that, press F1 for fly mode and F2 for free resources. You can adjust the fly speed with the scroll wheel.

Where are my saved files located?

Is there a roadmap?

No, but you can check the Discord server for frequent updates on the game.
