Solar Expanse News

The long awaited moment is coming!
We are gathering a crew of testers to brave the space in our Alpha version!
If you signed up for the previous demo/alpha testing, we kindly ask you to sign up again using the form below - the game has changed quite a bit in the meantime!




Within a week or two, we will carefully select a hundred applicants to play the game, share their feedback and directly influence our course of action! Don't hesitate and sign up now!

See you in space!

[h2]Asteroid Pulling[/h2]
As development skyrockets, we're focusing on adding more exciting features to help you reshape the stars to your liking. We proudly present Asteroid Pulling!

This feature will allow you to move asteroids to different orbits for simpler exploitation.
You will need one to build a space elevator.
This way, you will be able to crash the asteroids into planets to bring necessary resources there, or help with terraformation!
And who knows, maybe one day asteroid pulling will save humanity from some unexpected armageddon...
Anyway, who wouldn't like Earth to have another moon?

What is more, we're making new space vessels and techs so you can traverse the stars!

Atlas
What a beast! There's no weight this big boy cannot push, and it can even put small asteroids right where you need them! Powered by many fusion engines, it provides the highest power in the game (second only to Interstellar Ship)!



Prometheus
Brand new Nuclear Thermal Rocket which can take you to Mars in no time! Inspired by NASA's Design Reference Architecture 5.0, has been brought to life by our team! Outstanding cargo capacity, impressive exhaust velocity, and amazing dV are all that you need to reach as far as Jupiter!

Greetings Space explorers!

In case you're wondering how our work is proceeding - we keep doing whatever rocket science necessary to launch our game to the next level!

Colonization

We keep expanding the ways to colonize other planets and make them habitable. With new systems, come new challenges, and we keep adding to the complexity of the issue by introducing human-operated facilities and energy supply systems, along with new buildings, resources and research to help achieve this task.

Interstellar Ship

We’re sure you’re wondering about expanding to other planetary systems beyond our good old Solar System. As this is a huge milestone for civilization, building a spacecraft capable of transporting entire populations to places untouched by human foot is going to be one of our final tasks in space conquest. And once we’re able to do that… Who knows what may come next?


There's much more to come in the following months, so keep an eye on the sky, maybe you'll see a shooting star carrying more news!

Greetings Space Explorers!

We are happy to announce that our demo has taken its ultimate form! It does not represent the final quality of the full release though, as it is still in development. Still, the current version of the demo will let you check out some cool features we've added to the game!

Planning missions by drag and drop

This is the biggest game-changer so far! We've read all your feedback carefully and decided to make this core part of our game more user-friendly. Now you can plan your missions by simply dragging a resource, module, or spacecraft on any object on the map or its orbit, and the plan mission window will open automatically, with the origin and destination filled in, and the dragged element already added to the mission. This shortens the task a lot and lets you plan so much more, and much faster! If you prefer the old planning system, don't worry - you can do it the classical way as well!

New balance of resources
To improve the gameplay flow and ensure the necessity of building supply chains, we have redesigned and rebalanced resources on all objects! Now only two deposits are available on each object, therefore you must plan in a way that will optimize the flow of your economy, and examine objects carefully before setting off.

Automatic research
Once you start any research, the following ones will commence automatically upon the end of a previous one. Make sure to keep it in check - as much as it is possible to complete all available research in the demo, its order might be crucial for your success!


UI changes
We have introduced several tweaks to the UI, especially the plan mission window, to make it clearer, more understandable, and make sure that you can easily access all the necessary info, and see the summary of destinations, spacecraft, launch vehicle, and cargo at each stage of planning a mission.


We truly hope you'll enjoy your space enterprise!

Greetings Space Explorers!

As the Space Exploration Fest commenced, we are proud to announce that the new, refreshed demo is finally out and ready to be played! This time, you'll be able to play through 30 years of space expansion. Embark on the cosmic conquest!

Please keep in mind that the demo does not represent the final form and quality of the game. We are still in the alpha stage of development, and there’s still much to be improved and developed.

Last but not least, make sure to send us feedback after playing the demo - to do this, you may use the ‘SEND FEEDBACK’ button in the game’s main menu, which will redirect you to a feedback form. Your opinions are of uttermost value, and we’d love to hear them out!
