Track down distress beacons, and you might discover survivors stranded on the wreckage of a destroyed ship.

In the upcoming demo of Stellar Shipyard, answering distress calls is the key way to grow your crew, and expand your fleet.

Stellar Shipyard finally has sound!

Machines humming, thrusters roaring, weapons firing - all at once.

Correctly mixing hundreds of sounds without it being a noisy mess is quite a challenge.

I didn't teach the ship how to do this.
The ship was told to hold position and shoot, and it automatically decided to fire thrusters to cancel recoil.
Watching systems interact in unexpected ways is such a great feeling.

Amazing how a bit of particle effects makes everything feel so much more alive.

Design the wildest ship you can imagine and fly it into battle. Modular builds, real physics, and backed by your production line at home.

Finally added a particle effect system to the engine.
Naturally, thrusters were the first to get the visual upgrade.

Ever thought about poaching talent from the enemy? Hire rival crew for the right price, then keep them alive.

You only see a hunger bar, but underneath a whole metabolism is simulated. Healing means feeding the right macros.

Yes, modding is already an integral part of the game. You can easily add machines with art and configuration files, or write scripts that can interact with *anything* in the game.

Right now you fight ships and flying monsters, no hand to hand.

Ships in Stellar Shipyard are built tile by tile and flown under real physics. What you build is what you fly.

Design freedom, with consequences included.

Instead of opening a menu in the middle of the screen,
what if the UI came to the thing you clicked?

In Stellar Shipyard, selecting any machine or storage surrounds it with controls and info - so your focus never breaks.

Does this feel more natural to you?

Detailed destruction and lots of debris are guaranteed products of defending your precious resources. The only defense is a good offense, so stay sharp.
