tl;dr: Our current game project Space Station Designer has a product page on Steam, and there’s also a playable alpha available for download on itch.io. We have been working on it during our spare time since late 2015. The game is not finished yet, but we’re approaching a point where all the features originally planned -along with some extras we’ve added along the way based on the community’s feedback- are now implemented.
What is Space Station Designer? It’s a construction and management game that puts players in charge of a private company that manages a network or orbital outposts in Earth and Lunar orbit. The Campaign mode will find you performing a wide range of activities such as recruiting and managing astronauts, building and installing modules, providing commercial services, manufacturing commercial goods, acquiring and commercializing industrial R&D technologies, leasing modules, and a lot more. Alternatively, you can play the game in Sandbox mode, where you can chill in a non-pressure environment and try out all sorts of unusual designs.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s a gameplay video featuring hundreds of pictures!

We’re always open to constructive feedback, so if you have any comments or suggestions about the playable build, please drop by the forums and let us know what you think.
Happy New Year!
