Space Haven Alpha 12 - Progress Report.


Greetings, Spacefarer!


It's a pleasure to return to you with another progress report. This time we take a look at what's upcoming in Alpha 12! Alpha 12 will be a very special milestone, for the reasons mentioned below.

2 Milestones: 1 Year in Early Access - 5 Years Since the Start of Development


Alpha 12 will mark a big milestone, two big milestones actually. We are closing in on not only 1 year since the Early Access release, but also 5 years since the start of development. 5 years! Just a month or two and we're there!

Upcoming in Alpha 12 - Some of the Most Requested Features


We've decided to make this event special. Alpha 12 will be an anniversary update, celebrating both of these big milestones. We've decided to focus on features, which have been some of the most requested features by you, our players. We hope you like what you see upcoming in Alpha 12. =)

Logistics bots



Work in Progress - Logistics bots helping you in your logistics needs! Final form may differ from the presented one. Logistics overwhelmed! That has really been a theme with Space Haven. If one grabs everything there's bound to be a lot of crates, and while that should be the case (pun intended) it would be good to have some tools to try to ease it up a bit, too. Logistics bots have certainly been one of the most wished for feature, and we're happy to announce we are working on them for Alpha 12! We will be able to give more details on how they function once we have fully implemented them and been able to test them in action.

Windows



I had a dream that we found a habitable planet to live on. I don't think that planet is it...
Windows have been one of the most requested features by you, our players. There's just something about windows it seems! Well, it is finally happening. We have windows coming up in Alpha 12, both for the ship hull and inside walls. There's a few different widths to choose from, and you will be able to build windows side by side to have lots of light come in! Windows are not only cosmetic, they will help light up the rooms to a degree.

Roofs and a Hull Paint Generator



Work in Progress - Roof paint pattern generation. The pirates could have red patterns on their ships. Roofs are now visible by default on ships, which have not yet been visited or explored by the player. It always frustrated us a bit that ships would often just be black blobs in the sector, unless the player specifically presses a button to see the roofs. Ships and stations actually look like such when the roofs are up, so we created a system to allow roofs to be shown more, while keeping the needed visibility when exploring ships with your crew members.
Work in Progress - A close up of the hull with some paint on it. We have also created a hull paint generator, which creates paint patterns on spaceship and station hulls. We want to have some distinction between the various factions spaceships, to make it easier for you to see who you are dealing with. It also makes the visual aspects of spaceships more varied.

More Sounds - Less Quiet



Oh, you guys make some real noise now. Neat! More sounds have been another much requested feature. We've started adding more sounds and we also modified the overall sound space to not be as quiet as before. We added more sounds to many facilities of the game, such as consoles, industry facilities, power generators, power nodes and thermal regulators, and hyperdrives (Although not the hyperjump sequence itself, not yet at least). Note that the sound volume of various elements is dynamic, it is based on the current zoom level.

Work In Progress


Note that we will still need time to finish these features, so Alpha 12 is still very much a work in progress. Time will tell if we will have time to work on other features besides these for Alpha 12.

When will Alpha 12 be released?


As always we cannot say an exact date, but we want to try to pair the update somewhat close with the anniversary, which is in mid May. It could be a bit before, or a bit later. Let's see how it goes!

Stay tuned for more news. =)

  • Space Haven linux64 [208.09 M]

  • Public Linux depots


  • Embark on a space voyage with your ragtag crew of civilians in search of a new home. Build spaceships tile by tile, create optimal gas conditions, manage the needs and moods of their crew, encounter other space-faring groups, and explore the universe in this spaceship colony sim.




    • Customize - Complete freedom to build a spaceship or station of your own desire. Place every piece of ship hull, wall, door and facility wherever you want.
    • Functional - All facilities serve a purpose. Crew members will sleep in beds, use toilets, be disturbed by a noisy room and praise you for an arcade machine.

    A functional spaceship can be built tile-by tile, giving you the opportunity to shape a spaceship of your own desire. It can be symmetric and streamlined, or an asymmetrical whimsical looking thing. It does not have to look like a conventional spaceship depicted in sci-fi literature, you are free to design your own, the choice is yours!




    • Oxygen and CO2 - Keep optimal Oxygen and CO2 levels by building life support modules for your crew members.
    • Hazardous gases - Certain facilities and explosions can release hazardous gases. Build scrubbers to purify the air.
    • Temperature and power - Build thermal regulators to maintain an ideal temperature for your crew. Build power nodes and set up power distribution throughout the ship.
    • Comfort - Building a bed right next to the ship core will disturb sleep. Design your ship for crew comfort.

    The isometric tile-based gas system simulates various gases, temperature and crew comfort on your spaceship. Humans, plants and facilities react to the conditions surrounding them, giving meaning to how you design your ship and the living conditions you create. Secure facilities, optimize crew survival and well-being, but also think of possible future accidents and chaos generated from crew combat or environmental hazards.



    • Skills and traits - Every crew member has their own set of skills and traits. A wimp might get scared shooting a gun, while an iron-stomach can eat anything unaffected.
    • Mood - A happy crew member needs food, sleep, comfort, safety and friends. Take something away and their mood will be affected.
    • Conditions - Crew members might feel adventurous, suffer from starvation, feel unhygienic, or they simply ate too much. Various conditions affect how they feel.
    • Mental breaks - When the stress is too much for a crew member they may suffer a mental break. Some will vent themselves out of the air lock, while others might start a fight.

    In Space Haven characters aren't mere robots. The game simulates needs, moods, health and skills of your crew members and they develop relationships with each other. Their past life occupation and hobbies will affect their skills and know-how, and they have both positive and negative traits. Witness joyful moments, depression, and drama surrounding different crew members as you journey onward seeking a new home.



    • Away missions - Equip your crew members and organize away teams to explore derelict ships or visit stations or spaceships of other factions.
    • Draft - Draft and move your crew members to attack enemies and save their friends.
    • Inventory - Each crew member has their own unique inventory. Equip them with pistols, rifles, grenades and more.

    Equip your crew with space suits and weapons and organize away teams to explore derelict ships and stations. Explore and salvage resources and items; find activated cryopods with someone frozen inside. Visit spaceships or stations of other factions and find data logs telling stories of past spacefarers searching for a new home.



    • Crew combat - Engage in combat with enemy factions or an alien species.
    • Aliens - Watch aliens incapacitate your crew members and capture them alive. See them suffer in the alien lair and decide if you want to try to save them or not.

    Aliens capture your crew members and cocoon them against walls in their base. See them suffer in the alien lair and decide if you want to save them or not. Explore derelict ships and discover someone from the original crew of the ship captured by the aliens. Events like these create interesting back stories to new arrivals to your crew.



    • Battlestations - Watch your crew take battlestations as you engage the enemy in ship-to-ship battle. See your crew load turrets with projectiles, put out fires from explosions, patch hull breaches and repair vital facilities in the midst of battle.
    • Tactical - Target the enemy ship engine and stop them from fleeing. See them do the same to you. Engage their turrets directly or try to focus on the enemy ship core and see their ship go pitch black. Build shields to protect your most vital segments of your ships.
    Build turrets and engage in tactical ship-to-ship combat, where a hit and explosion could cause a snowball effect of fire, smoke, hazardous gases and even hull breaches for either party. All crew members need to work together to win the battle.



    • Cryopods - Protect your crew from side-effects of Inter-stellar travel. Place crew members into stasis to freeze the progression of a disease or to await rescue.
    • Medical - Treat crew members for injuries, wounds and diseases. Medical conditions affect crew members in various ways.

    Your crew members will become wounded in battles and might catch a serious disease. Set up a medical room, scan for diseases and foreign masses and have your best doctor tend to illnesses and perform surgeries. Hope that your doctor is not absent minded and leaves a surgical tool inside.



    • Generated galaxy - Explore a new procedurally generated galaxy each playthrough, with planets, asteroids, stations and spaceships of other factions.
    • Factions - Interact with various factions all trying to survive and establish dominance their own way. Meet pirates, merchants, slave traders, cultists and more and develop relationships with each.

    • Resources - Mine for raw resources and refine them to building materials. Trade resources with other groups you meet.

    Explore a new procedurally generated galaxy each new playthrough, with various factions all trying to survive and establish dominance their own way. You'll meet pirates, slavers, merchants, cults, androids and more. Jump into hyperspace, seek out resources and meet various groups and develop your relationship with them.


    Cool things that can happen in Space Haven:

    • Gain a new crew member by finding a activated cryo chamber aboard a derelict ship.
    • Have a space burial for your fallen crew member to let other crew members say good bye.
    • Grow plants with bio mass and water recycled from toilets.
    • Eat the meat from a fallen crew member or an invader if desperation is high.
    • Watch aliens capture your crew member and cocoon them to a wall in their lair. Will you go save them or leave them there?
