Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“CONSTELLATIONS is a complex simulation game combining satellite design, rocket engineering, and space company management. Releasing in Early Access allows us to get the core gameplay loop into players' hands early so we can test the economic balancing, optimisation, and progression systems in the wild. We want to work closely with the community to shape future updates, prioritize features, and squash bugs. We are fully committed (and very excited) to maintaining an active development schedule and seeing this project through to a complete 1.0 release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in early access for around 1 year. This depends on feedback and how quickly new gameplay mechanics can be implemented.”

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

“While the Early Access launch version provides the core simulation loop, custom satellite design, and Earth and Moon levels, the full 1.0 release is planned to be much broader in scope.

Planned additions for the full version include:

Extended Solar System: Additional planets, moons (such as Mars or Titan) each with their own unique environmental challenges and gameplay elements.

Advanced Engineering: More complex satellite components, Factorio-style rocket assembly automation, and new and upcoming rockets (Nova, Neutron).

Deepened Systems: Expanded contract varieties, a deeper research and technology tree, and economy balancing driven directly by community feedback throughout Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version features the foundational simulation loop, rocket construction, basic contract management, custom satellite design, and fully playable Earth and Moon levels.”

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

“We plan to raise the price as we reach 1.0”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will actively gather bug reports, balance suggestions, and feature requests through Steam Discussions and community channels, using beta branches and playtests to guide our roadmap.”

About This Game

From a scrappy start-up to a global aerospace titan.

In CONSTELLATIONS, you take the helm of a fledgling launch company starting with a small budget and a blank canvas. Your goal? Build a commercial space empire from the ground up, master the economics of orbital mechanics, and scale your operations until thousands of active satellites blanket the skies.

Key Features:

  • Real-World-Inspired Rockets: Unlock, manage, and launch a roster of vehicles inspired by legendary aerospace counterparts. Balance payload capacities, handle multi-pad logistics, and optimize your launch windows.

  • Take on Lucrative Contracts: Accept early commercial and government launch contracts to fund your initial operations while you build toward your own independent ambitions - including designing custom satellites for customers.

  • Design Custom Satellites: Build custom payloads tailored to specific weights and functions. Choose whether to chase high-paying communication/AI satellites or invest in breakthroughs to boost your scientific research.

  • Master Multi-Payload Stacking: Optimize your vehicle weight limits to deploy dozens of satellites in a single flight across Low Earth (LEO), Medium Earth (MEO), and Geostationary (GEO) orbits.

  • Expand & Upgrade Your Base: Reinvest your profits to upgrade your facilities, scale up your manufacturing lines, and research cutting-edge technologies like advanced micrometeorite shielding and ion engines.

  • Scale Massive Constellations: Transition from single-launch missions to operating vast, profitable satellite networks that generate continuous revenue and science points.

  • The Journey to the Moon: Use your commercial dominance and orbital infrastructure to fund humanity's next great leap - charting your path all the way to the Moon and beyond.

Early Access & Roadmap:

Constellations will release into Early Access with 2 operational bodies available: Earth and the Moon. The primary goal of Early Access is to collaborate closely with the community to refine game mechanics, game feel, and progression balancing.

I plan to remain in Early Access for roughly a year, with a roadmap focused on introducing multiple new planets and moons, each featuring unique gravitational and economic gameplay mechanics.

Join the community, share your feedback, and help shape the future of Constellations!
