Hello, and happy new year! After a short Christmas break, we're finally back at working on Space Station Tycoon. Here's an overview of the things we got cooking.

[h2]Mission Hub[/h2]

A major -and long overdue- update is coming to our mission system. We are planning to make missions a lot more detailed and easy to understand by implementing a mission hub. This way you can see exactly what a mission is about and what its rewards are. Some missions may also affect your relationship with a certain faction, or require a minimum relationship to accept it.

The mission hub is full of opportunities. Some of the missions offered through this panel may also require additional choices to be made. This new panel also gives us a lot of freedom to write some cool scenarios. Expect some neat lore.


Work in progress.

[h2]Reputation System[/h2]

We are finally saying goodbye to one of the most tedious aspects of Space Station Tycoon; unlocking buildings. With the new reputation system, you won't have to wait for items to unlock most new buildings.


Work in progress.

Your station will now have a reputation level that determines its.. well.. reputation. After reaching a certain amount of total visitors, your reputation level will go up. With each reputation level, you will also unlock new buildings.

Some exotic buildings will still be unlocked through the traditional prototyping system.


[h2]Staff Quarters[/h2]

So it appears that employees working in a space station actually need a place to stay...

Staff quarters is a new building we are adding to the game. This building will determine the number of staff members you can hire. It will also be upgradeable like any other building.

[h2]Thank You![/h2]

2020 was one hell of a year, but it got significantly better with all the support we received from you all. We believe that 2021 will be a great year for Space Station Tycoon. Game development is so much more fun when you do it together with the community. That was the main reason why we released the game as early access in the first place, and it is awesome to see it slowly pay off.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
