Starship Explorers - A Scifi Ship-building RPG

[kibblesticks]

Starship Explorers

Starship Explorers fuses the colony-building of Rimworld, the space combat of FTL, and the epic adventures of Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, Battlestar, and all those other series with Star in the title.

In Starship Explorers you sit in the captain’s chair. Build your ship brick by brick, in any shape or size. Then hire an eclectic crew and cast off into the stars.

..Or at least that's the plan! I'm currently coding the above-mentioned game and would love some feedback as I go. I think this game will be of particular interest to the Nexus community as I'm building in modding from the ground up. You'll be able to create not only your own starships, but new alien races, planets, and items to populate a procedural galaxy. Then share them with others.

It's super early stages right now, and I'm kinda terrified of creating something no-one gives a hoot about, hence the very early reveal. Hopefully with feedback at each step I'll have a much better product than if I just locked myself away for 18 months and tried to guesstimate what makes the best Starship experience!

I'll be posting screenies here as the game develops. I've got a rudimentary ship-building system that you can download here. It's not much fun at the moment, but it's a small file so if anyone fancies giving it a quick go and letting me know how you get on, that'd be awesome.

Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the screenshots and stay tuned for more! :thumbsup:

Oh, if you want to follow on Twitter I'm @SSExplorersGame! And the dev blog is here. I post pretty regularly but it's a bit of a mashup of topics right now. If you fancy hearing about anything in particular just let me know! Thanks!

Note to mods: I made this topic in The Lounge, but was told it'd be better off here. Feel free to delete the duplicate. Thanks!
