What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This is my largest game yet, and as a solo developer, it needs extra time for the features planned. That's where you come in; You will help shape the game as it heads to full launch.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The intended Early Access period will be 6 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“While the majority of core features will be in Early Access, some may not be fully complete. With your help, I can make sure this game is a complete package. The following features are planned for full release:
- Explorable space station interiors
- Planet colonisation
- Player owned systems with tower defence style structures
- Full ship editor with more ship components
- Hand crafted storylines including faction quest lines
- Additional, random events throughout the galaxy
- Steam achievements”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The following features can be expected in the Early Access version of Space Nomads:
- Real-time combat
- Crew management
- Mining and resource gathering
- Trading and economic gameplay
- Basic version of the modular ship editor
- Procedural contracts

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, I do not plan to change the price.”

About This Game

Space Nomads is an open-ended space RPG where you begin with little more than a ship, a crew and a shared ambition. Explore star systems, hire crew members, trade, fight, complete contracts, and create your own path across a living galaxy. Become a trader, bounty hunter, explorer, salvager, mercenary, or something in between.

NPCs have their own tasks, whether it be mining the nearest asteroid cluster, patrolling the system, or fighting each other. Events will randomly take place in Space Nomads, such as dogfights, it's your decision to get involved or not.

The galaxy of Space Nomads is procedurally generated, everything from the galaxy itself, to the ships. The procedural generation doesn't tell you how to play, it builds the universe and leaves the choices to you.

You choose who you fly with. Crew have personality traits and provide buffs for your ship. You can find crew in space stations or escape pods. Crew write in their journal, responding to events in the world. Perhaps you targeted an innocent civilian ship? Your crew might have something to say about that.

You choose what kind of ship you want. Find components and build a sleek fighter, or... Build something that looks like it's about to fall apart. Attach weapons, utility devices and decide what your ship is capable of. 

Want to become a miner? Trader? Or just a menace to the galaxy? You decide how to create your fortune and reputation.
