Hey Meeple!
First, we’d like to thank everyone so much for the incredible response to the demo on itch.io! If you haven’t tried it yet, please snag it from our itch page! The feedback we are getting is so helpful, and we want to see even more of it. We want Meeple Station to be a great game, not just a good game!
For this week’s look at the game, we are exploring more of how building and customizing your station work, and how to ensure your Meeple are safe and sound on your station.
The moment you delve into your new Station, you'll be able to begin extending corridors, expanding rooms, building airlocks, bulkheads, dining rooms and more. You’re the boss, you can design your station any way you'd like. Each station and player experience is entirely unique to them and how they foresee their little Meeple Empire.
The life of a Meeple overlord is not easy, however. There are many facets to your station, and a lot of essential needs. Where does life support go? How will you wire it to your power cells? How will you rig your solar panels to your station? However you want. You might want to create an independent circuit for life support, and another for your refineries. You’ll also want pipes to bring fuel from your dilithium processors to your quantum engine. Maybe you don't want to run those toxic fluids through the main dining hall... or maybe you do! Extra toppings with lunch anyone?
One of the great things about your station is that it's yours! Its shortcomings and advantages will be unique to your style. Every decision you make will affect the outcome for your station. Small decisions, like whether to place suit racks inside the airlock room, or outside. Your miners might be so exhausted, the moment they take off their suit they fall asleep on the floor... in the airlock. With some careful planning and a good dose of imagination, your station will continue to expand and grow, allowing you to put more and more Meeple to work.
Speaking of Meeple, we love meeting each and every one of you! If you’d like to meet the team and hang out with us, we’re always around on our Discord server. We’ll see you next week with more Meeple Peeple News!

- Meeple Station LINUX [1.19 G]
Meeple are simple creatures. They're not human, nor are they incredibly intelligent. They're a race of space fairing creatures who enjoy industry, work, and exploration. But they need a lot of guidance, YOUR guidance, in fact.
Unique Meeple Roles
They come in various shapes, sizes and colours. And each Meeple has their own role, so you'll need to recruit the ones best suited for the jobs you need. Miners, engineers, refiners, janitors, guards or lab workers, there are plenty of jobs to be done.Meeple are very fragile creatures, and if not taken care of properly, can be prone to any number of possible fatalities. If you're not careful, they could easily fall victim to starvation, suffocation, implosion, explosion, decapitation, electrification, incineration or just unlucky enough to get sucked out of an airlock or gobbled up by an alien.
Build it your way!
There is a wide range of paraphernalia for a space station. From simple furniture, like bedding and seating, to complex machinery, life support and power grids. You choose where and how to build it all, and your Meeple will have to adjust to your changes.You will also be responsible for rigging up the main power grid, making sure everything is plugged in, and that you are creating enough power to keep everything alive!
You don't control individual Meeple, your job is to give them orders and create designations. They will always do their best to follow through on the jobs you create, unless of course they're being pursued by a giant electric man-eating space squid... although they may still attempt it.
Space is a dangerous place, putting aside natural disasters, solar flares and stray meteors, you also need to worry about pirates!
Meeple pirates are bent on destruction, they simply want nothing more than annihilation of everything non-pirate. That includes you and your Meeple!
If there are pirates near your station, they wont be able to resist the chance to create havoc. Defend yourself with trained Meeple, and combat turrets, otherwise your station will soon be a floating assortment of scrap.
A bustling station will bring in a lot of trade and commerce, traders will fly in from all over the quadrant to dock at your station. Which is fortunately very lucrative for you!
There are also plenty of resources just floating around. You can order your mining crew to get out there and salvage it. You can then refine the minerals you collect to construct and develop new components for your station.
Undertake a campaign, building difficult stations and meet pressing deadlines. Or sit back, relax and run your own little station, at your own pace, moving around the quadrant, exploring nearby planets and being a centre for trade and commerce.
