Hey Meeple!
Today is the day! Yes, really! Our Kickstarter campaign is now live! It’s been an incredible amount of work to get here, and we are so excited to start welcoming our community into the full version of the game on Steam and itch.io. We’ve got loads of different tiers across a wide range of price points, so there is something for every-meeple! Additionally, we will be including copies of our flagship title, Regions of Ruin, to backers of our Kickstarter campaign. If you are on the fence about backing Meeple Station, don’t forget to download and play our free demo. You can find the download on our itch.io page.
Among our goals with the campaign is to build our growing community, and to ensure that we have plenty of feedback and suggestions for the game. To this end, everyone that backs the game will get immediate access to the full version of Meeple Station. Keys will be distributed at the close of the campaign as long as the project is funded. We find that gating alpha and beta access behind high price points is counterintuitive, and we want to welcome as many Meeple as possible! This will apply to all copies of the game through Kickstarter, including the multipacks. If you get access for your friends, you can all jump in right away.
The next 34 days will be jam packed with work for the team, but we want to take the time to thank each and every one of you for your support and for getting us this far. The opportunity to build the game and make it the best it can be is something we take seriously, and are grateful for. If you want to get to know us, we would love to meet everyone on our Discord server. We’re always available to chat, answer questions, and just hang out with our community!

- 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.
