Hello everyone! Space Station Tycoon testing branch is now live and available for everyone.

What is a testing branch?

Testing branches allow users to test some upcoming features beforehand and give feedback about it. Since we are a team of only two, a testing branch can save us so much time.

How can I use the testing branch?

It's pretty easy. Here's what you need to do: [olist]

Right click on the game in your Steam library.

Click on "Properties".

Click on "Betas".

Enter the code "ssttesting20".

Switch to the testing branch and done! The game will now update. [/olist] Note: The code requirement will soon be obsolete. You can skip step 4 if the code doesn't work.

How do I provide feedback?

The easiest way would be to do so in our Discord channel.

What exactly are we testing?

The testing branch will always include some WIP features from our next major update. In this case, you will be testing an early build of version 0.2 which includes employees, new buildings, policies, artifacts, a reworked research system, and much more.

Have fun testing!

The year is 3000, humanity is all over the galaxy and the economy is booming. It is time to take action by building your very own space station in a star system far, far away. Building and managing a space station in a distant star system isn’t an easy task to achieve, that’s why you should do your best to attract customers and get them to spend money.

There are lots of wandering pilots across the whole galaxy looking for a space station. Each has their reasons, be it to repair and refuel their ships or maybe just to relax and have some fun. Even though what they each look for in a space station is very different, there is one thing they have in common; they want to spend some money. In Space Station Tycoon you will expand your station by building lots of different stuff like docking bays, research facilities and even casinos to attract every kind of customer you can.

Space Station Tycoon is inspired by its greatest ancestors of the “tycoon” genre. That’s why our main focus while making this game is always going to be its depth. We want the player to be able to control everything necessary from small things like fuel prices to intergalactic marketing budgets. With the depth it offers, Space Station Tycoon will surely deliver a true “tycoon” experience.
