The Hummingbird miner digs patiently deeper and deeper into the same mining spot, as it ensures mining 3 tiles at once. #indiegame #spacesim #gamedev

A light texture pass. You might notice a few minor differences. #gamedev #indiegame

One moment, you're directly controlling your character aboard a ship. The next, you're tracking your entire fleet across 15 light-years - all within one continuous world. #indiegame #gamedev #spacesim

One Mass Driver slug turns a capital ship into two #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame

Build it and they will come. Mark storages for trade between vessels, and trader ships will periodically arrive to exchange resources. #indiegame #gamedev #spacesim

A fully operational capital ship designed to support an entire colony. Miners arrive with resources, support ships dock into the structure, and you can take control of any vessel, undock, and head out on your next task. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiedev #spacesim

Sporting an overall weight of 7.6kT, and 30 support ships attached while cruising, this is an example of ships you can design in Stellar Shipyard. #gamedev #indiegame #spacesim

The first Stellar Shipyard Playtest is now live. It's fully open, with multiplayer available. store.steampowered.com/app/3601670/... #indiegame #gamedev #spacesim

Stellar Shipyard on Steam

Stellar Shipyard is a space colony sandbox where you design modular ships and stations, and automate resource production using drones and workers. Let the automated systems fly even the most improvise...

Track down distress beacons, and you might discover survivors stranded on the wreckage of a destroyed ship. In the upcoming demo of Stellar Shipyard, answering distress calls is the key way to grow your crew, and expand your fleet. #spacesim #indiegame #gamedev

Always keep your old screenshots to see how much progress you made later on #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Capture abandoned ships and claim them as your own. #gamedev #indiegame #space

Stellar Shipyard finally has sound! Machines humming, thrusters roaring, weapons firing - all at once. Correctly mixing hundreds of sounds without it being a noisy mess is quite a challenge. #gamedev #screenshotsaturaday #indiegame

I didn't teach the ship how to do this. The ship was told to hold position and shoot, and it automatically decided to fire thrusters to cancel recoil. Watching systems interact in unexpected ways is such a great feeling. #gamedev #indiegame #spacesim

Amazing how a bit of particle effects makes everything feel so much more alive. #indiegame #gamedev #spacesim

Design the wildest ship you can imagine and fly it into battle. Modular builds, real physics, and backed by your production line at home. Wishlist Stellar Shipyard: store.steampowered.com/app/3601670 #WishlistWednesday #IndieGame

Finally added a particle effect system to the engine. Naturally, thrusters were the first to get the visual upgrade. #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Ever thought about poaching talent from the enemy? Hire rival crew for the right price, then keep them alive. You only see a hunger bar, but underneath a whole metabolism is simulated. Healing means feeding the right macros. #indiegame #gamedev #solodev

Ships in Stellar Shipyard are built tile by tile and flown under real physics. What you build is what you fly. Design freedom, with consequences included. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #space #gamedev

Instead of opening a menu in the middle of the screen, what if the UI came to the thing you clicked? In Stellar Shipyard, selecting any machine or storage surrounds it with controls and info - so your focus never breaks. Does this feel more natural to you? #GameDev #IndieDev #UXDesign #IndieGame

Detailed destruction and lots of debris are guaranteed products of defending your precious resources. The only defense is a good offense, so stay sharp. Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3601670?... #gamedev #indiegame #space #WishlistWednesday

Mount thrusters on an asteroid and take flight. You have full creative freedom to create any vehicle you want in Stellar Shipyard. #indiegame #gamedev #space
