Hey Meeple!
With only a week to go until Kickstarter kicks off, things are full speed ahead for the team as we finalize preparations. We are so excited to get the campaign underway, and to be able to get our community in game and playing! We will be offering immediate access to anyone that backs at a high enough tier to get the game. This means that if we fund, even our early birds will be able to join us in building the game and making it the best it can be. We will also be offering plenty of multipack tiers for those wanting to get copies for friends or family. If you back at a tier for more than one copy, everyone gets in, no trying to decide who gets the lone early testing key!
If anyone has not yet signed up for our mailing list to be able to be notified when the campaign page goes up, please do so here:
Kickstarter Mailing List
Thanks to everyone’s help and bug reports, we’ve been able to squash loads of bugs, and are continuing to do so in the lead-up to the campaign. Work on the game is proceeding at Stephen’s usual breakneck speed. Pathfinding and optimization have both seen some attention, and as we head into Kickstarter, quantum engines will be getting finished up, so that stations are moveable in game. Co-op will be underway throughout the campaign as well, and we can’t wait to test that with the community! We will also be doing dev streams to keep everyone in the loop, and let you all see the game as it progresses. Be sure to watch for announcements for those times and dates, as we’ll be posting them on all of our social accounts.
If you’re as excited as we are to get your hands on Meeple Station, and want to be part of the growing community, please join us on our https://discord.gg/xfWHSyP]Discord server, Reddit, Twitter, Steam, [url=https://voxgames.itch.io/meeple-stationitch.io, or all of the above. We’re in for an exciting September, and we thank everyone for supporting this journey and helping bring Meeple Station to life!

- 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.
