I should probably mention first that I have cleared it with Tynan and he says I 'should' be good posting this here.  :D


I have been working on SpaceSlog for a while now, albeit mostly in my spare time and wanted to post about it here, where it all began. You will probably notice the game is heavily inspired by Rimworld but there are many differences.

- SpaceSlog is set in space and you must build and expand your ship, rather than a colony on a planet.
- I want to explore the ramifications of being couped up in a tin can and the effects this would have on a person.
- I plan to encourage exploration with opportunities to send away teams to planets, derelict ships or stations. This will be required to scavenge for supplies if needed.
- Different planets will require different equipment for your pawns. Various traits will probably effect how they react on these planets.
- There will be ship to ship combat, boarding, hull breaches, atmosphere and all that good stuff.


Note: Pawns may still get pissed eating without a table!


We have a Steam page you can check out

Or an Epic Games Store page.


Please feel free to ask any questions. Suggestions and feedback are also definitely welcomed.

I downloaded and played this game. It is really interesting. Therefore, I recommend everyone try it out if you have free time

This is a fun sim that you can keep looking into and I hope that there are some mentions of the way we are seeing with the mechanics. I hope that more people will have fun with the ramifications of this game and I feel like it has been nice to keep thinking about which is nice to see there. It's pretty fun to check.

I really like thinking about the implications of this game, and it has been wonderful to have something to keep my mind occupied.
