SpaceSlog

SpaceSlog is a challenging and unique spaceship and colony simulator that focuses on shipbuilding, crew interaction, exploration and survival. Inspired by games such as Rimworld, Starship Theory, Dwarf Fortress and X-COM, as well as iconic media such as Firefly, Stargate Universe and The Expanse.

The colony ship is gone, and you awaken lost, adrift in the void. Take command of your motley crew of ragged survivors, rebuild your spaceship piece by piece, and explore an unknown universe in search of the resources required to survive. Trade with passing factions and defend against alien attacks. Will you merely survive, or against all odds manage to thrive?

Build your ship any way you please.

Whether you want to build a small but nimble ship with a small crew, or a large battleship with lots of crew, the choice is yours. Just ensure you have enough supplies to manage your crew and keep your ship functioning.

Careful consideration must be used when placing doors, power or atmospheric systems in case of breaches or other hazards.

Explore a procedurally generated galaxy.

Each time you play, the game's incident system will generate a different galaxy for you to explore. Whichever difficulty you choose will influence how this galaxy or incidents are generated.

Exploration is key to survival.

Stay in one place for too long or get stranded and your crew will surely die. You must keep moving and find other ships or factions to trade with in order to survive.

Crew needs and moods.

The needs of your crew must be met in order to keep your ship fully functioning. An angry crew may rebel, decide not to work or give up completely. Ensure you have enough food and water to feed your crew. You must also choose your captain wisely.

Complex combat and medical simulations.

Gear up and fight different species of aliens in melee or ranged combat. Cut off their limbs and allow them to bleed out so you can harvest their meat for food and skin for furniture. Build a medbay to heal your own sick and injured crew.

Extensive mod support.

All the game's data is stored in JSON files. This means it is extremely easy to change anything currently in the game and even add new ones. In the future we plan to expand on this even further.

Meticulously human made.

SpaceSlog has been meticulously hand crafted over the course of many years. This not only ensures we have a robust and manageable architecture, allowing for extensive mod support and efficient iteration on bugs, support and updates. But it also offers you, the player, a bespoke experience with original visuals, sounds and music.

Mod development pedigree.

The author of SpaceSlog has spent over a decade painstakingly developing a large and popular free modification for Mount&Blade Warband called A World of Ice and Fire. This is the reason for wanting extensive mod support and should hopefully give peace of mind for anyone wanting to purchase SpaceSlog, knowing the author is not only accustomed to long development cycles, but it also dedicated and willing to finish a project.
