It's been nearly four years since Helium Rain released for good, and after years of experiments, spaceships are back on the menu. Astral Shipwright is a new spacebuilding game with the same DNA as Helium Rain, and will be available in Early Access later this year. [previewyoutube=vJZgy2oR48g;full][/previewyoutube] As part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest, a very early build of the game has been made available to everyone. While it's a far cry from a completely playable game, the current demo shows the foundation of the game including the spacecraft building system, inventory and orbital maneuvers.
