Developer posts and news about this game.
Hi! First, a big Thank You! for everyone who followed the development of this game and gave me the time and patience to turn it into a game I'm proud of. I think you'll like the result. It won't come out in 2026. But it will, repeat will, release in 2027. The space combat simulat
It’s been a while (sorry!), so here’s a quick update concerning the state of Capital Command , last year's progress, and what comes next. State of Development Core gameplay is still the major focus. I've gone through a couple of iterations and settled into what I believe will be

Greetings, captains! This update delivers a significant overhaul of the game's propulsion mechanics and the autopilot. Details follow. In Capital Command, ships' engines use a limited resource to push your ship through space. Previously, engines were either actively thrusting, or
Greetings, captains! The new demo version, now live, has a number of features that unfortunately weren't ready for NextFest, as well as some that were requested by the players in their well thought-out and useful responses. Secondary batteries (including the Scout Corvette's star

Greetings, captains! I've just uploaded a new version for the demo. Details follow. I've reworked the ship's trajectory indicator so it's now far more useful and readable (I hope!). I've also redone the autopilot UI. Biggest change: ctrl+click to make the ship go where you're loo
Greetings, captains! The next version of the demo is now live on Steam. Expect no major changes, just a bunch of fixes and some balancing work. Lots more changes and improvements, resulting from heavy player feedback (Thank you!) are set to arrive soon (-ish), stay tuned for more
Hello space fans, the new demo for Capital Command is now live, so come on over and try out the game. While it's not final, still a work in progress, it's close (-ish) to the game's final form. Probably. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts The dev

The major focus is currently on the UI and ship control. Turns out that handling space ships and situational awareness in space is hard, who knew. Still, there's progress. I've removed the little radar display and it feels like the right call. It wasn't really useable in its prev
Capital Command was announced to be published by Hooded Horse and a new trailer was shown in the Hooded Horse Publisher Showcase at PAX East 2022. The publisher showcase revealed new content and announcements across Hooded Horse’s strategy games. Capital Command can be wishlisted
Here's why and for how long. Capital Command is still a work in progress. After last year's Next Fest, I've been able to use player feedback to make significant improvements, and it's not done yet. Over the last few months, I've started an even bigger round of changes to the game
Faster ships. A few fixes. Yet again, no sound. In direct response to player feedback, I've buffed propulsion on all ships in the prologue. They haven't suddenly become fighters, but they hold more delta V, and recharge it faster. Maneuvering thrusters have also been buffed, resu
More auto-nav modes, fewer auto-nav bugs. Still no sound. The auto-nav UI rework seems to be working well enough, so of course I've started to change it. Two more buttons are now present. TURN TO DIRECTION makes the ship's nose point in the direction of the camera. It's a small t
This update brings the navigation UI rework, more jump UI improvements, and loads of tweaks and fixes. The auto-nav rework is live. The previous incarnation was far too low-key and discreet, tucked away in the corner of the screen. Also, it wasn't exactly user-friendly, and didn'
The next demo version is live, featuring improved jump targeting, UI scaling, prologue tuning and many small fixes. Jump targeting: this is a significant improvement. While you're aiming your jump, there's now a visual indicator on the HUD, so you can get an idea just about where
New demo version available. Bug fixes, UI improvements and better shipwrecks. Still no sound. The biggest change is to the shipwreck system. Before, destroyed ships would spawn a few floating pieces of debris, that the player can salvage for resources. In the new system, each shi
