Hey all, here's a little teaser for some upcoming content! So what's it all about? glad you asked! Meeple Station is about being open world, sandbox, simulation, but we also love to have little eggs of story and depth, which can be a very difficult thing to achieve inside of a simulation game. Campaigns aside, we wanted to add a little bit of mystery to the game, such as factions, conflicts and more in-depth exploration features. Including minerals and resources that can only be obtained through exploration.
Here are some little snapshot teasers of the micro-dungeon structures we're implementing.

But what's new this week?

Amongst a very very long list of bug fixes, we've also introduced the first tourist feature (HONK). For our kindred spirits (SS13 fans) we've introduced clowns!
This is a small intro to the very large overhaul this week to the animation system for mobs and entities which will also make modding new creatures and mobs into the game about fifty times easier. (Watchout for your Coulrophobic Meeple!) You can expect many more entities, mobs, creatures being introduced over the next few weeks.
Lastly, a quick update on where we're at with multiplayer. Unfortunately, Early Access launch proved that we still have much further to go with creating our desired Single player experience, and to avoid hampering development, we've decided to put our current multiplayer work on hold until we've completely fleshed out all of our major single player features. It's crucial to us as a team, first and foremost to make a great game, and then introduce the features thereafter to be able to properly share that with friends. If we try to do this the other way around it will lengthen development unnecessarily. :\ Until then! have fun Meeple! and don't forget to stop by our discord channel! we'd love to hear your suggestions :)

Meeple Station is a cooperative Space station Simulation game. Strongly inspired by Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld (with a hint of Space Station 13). Where the complexity of a simulation game blends with the friendly and satisfying nature of a Real-Time-Strategy game.

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.
