I’ve started working on this game when the first delay of KSP 2 was announced
Hi!
Four years ago KSP2 got delayed and I was mad because I just could not wait to get to play with colonies. I then ended up working on my own 2D rocket game that would focus on colonies while still having rocket control like in KSP.
The development of this game was not always easy but I’m glad that there is now a full game loop despite not yet having research nodes or a career mode. Just because there is in-situ resource utilization you’re able to set goals for yourself to build and launch a rocket from Mars. Since there is quite a lot of parts including docking ports there are ton of ways to plan your missions. There are also multiple buildings for colonies such as resource transformer and miners. You also need to ensure you have crew at your colony with sufficient food and water.
I’m super proud of all these systems that I managed to integrate together and I hope it’s something that interests you.
The game is called Rocket Engineer and is launching in early access on August 28th on Steam. I’m doing a post here because I know many of you are interested by these games and I plan to work on it for at least the 10 next years, hence, building a community would motivate me quite a lot.
