Forge Humanity's Foothold in an Alien Galaxy

Step into the boots of a lone entrepreneur in a unique 2D top-down trading simulation where the vast, procedurally generated galaxy is your greatest challenge. You're not a conquering hero, but a vital pioneer, tasked with carving out humanity's very first economic foothold amidst ancient, powerful alien empires. This isn't about grand invasions or epic battles; it's about the quiet, strategic brilliance of trade, exploration, and survival against overwhelming odds.

A Peaceful Galaxy, Full of Peril (and Profit!)

In Trade Anchor, there's no combat. Your strength lies in your wits, your fleet of freighters, and your understanding of the market. Every decision counts: from optimizing your trade routes across vibrant nebulae and asteroid fields, to discerning the subtle needs of alien economies. You'll need to outmaneuver rivals not with weapons, but with shrewd investments and perfectly timed deliveries. The galaxy is teeming with opportunities for the sharp-eyed trader, but one misstep could mean financial ruin for your budding enterprise.

Endless Exploration, Dynamic Economies

Your journey begins with a single freighter, but your ambition will quickly expand your fleet. Thanks to procedural generation, every new game offers a fresh, uncharted frontier of star systems, unique resources, and unpredictable alien factions. Discover new trade hubs, exploit emergent demands, and adapt to markets that ebb and flow with galactic events. Will you specialize in rare minerals, exotic alien foodstuffs, or cutting-edge technology? The choice is yours, but the universe will always keep you on your toes.

Establish Your Legacy

Trade Anchor is about building something lasting. It’s about more than just making a profit; it’s about securing humanity’s future one cargo haul at a time. Expand your operations, construct new facilities, and grow your influence not through force, but through pure economic power. As you weave your network across the stars, you'll feel the weight and thrill of being the architect of a new beginning for your species.

Are you ready to write humanity's first chapter in these distant stars, with a trade manifest?

Guiding Principles

While building this game, I am following the following principles. Here they are, so you fully know what to expect:

Gameplay First

As a hobby game developer with a day job that pays the bills, I am free to skip past monetization, loot boxes, DLCs and all the other stuff that takes the fun out of gaming. My focus is purely on making a great game and an authentic, enjoyable gaming experience.

Your Opinion Matters

Early Access is all about you. Your feedback is invaluable, and I'm committed to listening. While I can't implement every single request, I promise to genuinely consider every constructive suggestion you share. Together, we'll shape the best possible game.

I'm doing Early Access to get your feedback, and I consider your feedback invaluable. I will be present in the forum to listen and consider every constructive message.

Fair & Transparent Pricing

You'll pay for the game as it is, not for promises of what it might become. The Early Access price reflects its current value, and with significant updates, there may be incremental price adjustments. This way, you always know you're getting fair value for the game at any given stage.
