Space Station Tycoon Dev Diary #8 : Expanding Horizons
Welcome to yet another dev diary. We are currently working on the next major update, which will be the 0.7 update. We are also working on a spooky in-game event which will be available with the start of the Halloween season.
The galaxy map prototype - WORK IN PROGRESS With this new galaxy map, you will be able to build jumpgate routes that connect your station with other star systems, structures, and other points of interest. Currently, in the 0.6 version, the best way to get more visitors is to increase your reputation level. That will be changed in the 0.7 update. With this new system, the more you level up, the more and better jumpgates you'll be able to build. This will bring more control over what kinds of visitors you want to have and increase the game's overall depth. The galaxy map will be created procedurally and each of the star systems will have different characteristics with different consumer demographics.
Some of the jumpgate models - WORK IN PROGRESS The event system is also getting a remake. Major events like asteroid showers, pirate attacks, raider attacks, etc. will no longer be a total surprise. You will be able to keep track of these hostile events on the galaxy map. They will show up like pawns in a chess game and move to another hex each month. This new system doesn't mean that you'll be able to 100% guess when a pirate attack will happen, but it'll still help you prepare. Guessing the next move of sentient units like pirates or raiders, especially, is even harder.
The Halloween update will follow the 0.7 update shortly after. With this new event, you'll have to perform specials tasks to complete seasonal missions. These missions will award you exclusive new buildings, new employees, and many more. So make sure you tune in on the 27th of October for a spooky little space adventure!
Ready to trick or treat?
As always, thank you so much for your continued support and all the feedback. We hope you like our upcoming updates!

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.
