“Starship Simulator” is an upcoming space exploration game that aims to fill a gap in the space sim market by offering players a true one-to-one scale copy of the Milky Way to explore in their own Starship. The game is currently available in demo form on Steam, with a full release still in development and a Kickstarter campaign on the horizon. The core gameplay loop of the game is focused on exploration, with the developer emphasizing the thrill of exploring the galaxy if given the keys to a fully working Starship.
The game draws inspiration from Star Trek, evident in the design of the Starship in the demo. However, the final version of the game is expected to have its own unique style. The Kickstarter campaign for “Starship Simulator” is set to launch soon, offering a scientifically accurate and sandbox experience that appeals to fans of space exploration. Players can freely travel to different star systems, but traveling across the entire galaxy will require a significant amount of time, adding a sense of realism to the game.
In addition to exploration, the game also focuses on life aboard a Starship, allowing players to take on various roles such as Captain, Chef, Engineer, Tactical Officer, or Science Officer. Each role will have its own gameplay loop, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience for players. The game will offer both single-player and multiplayer modes, catering to different play styles and preferences. Players are encouraged to think on their feet and handle challenges creatively, with the freedom to approach situations in their own unique way.
The developers, Fleet Yard Studio, aim to create an interesting and varied galaxy for players to explore, with challenges and discoveries tailored to each player’s chosen role aboard the Starship. While the game is still in early stages of development, the current demo on Steam serves as a promising proof of concept. As with any Kickstarter project, plans and goals may evolve over time, but the potential for a captivating space exploration experience is evident. Interested players can follow the project on Kickstarter and stay updated on its progress, with the campaign set to launch on the 19th of March.
