Starship Simulator launched a Kickstarter campaign with a goal of £65,000 to further develop the project and bring it to Early Access on Steam. Within just 72 hours, the campaign had surpassed its initial goal and was rapidly approaching its stretch goals. The game aims to simulate the experience of serving on or commanding a fully realized and simulated Starship, offering various crew roles such as command, science, medical, engineering, tactical, and more. Players can choose their role and the game will eventually be playable in solo or multiplayer mode, with everyone on the same ship exploring a procedurally generated Milky Way galaxy.
Unlike other Starship-based games, multiplayer in Starship Simulator does not involve players in their own Starships but rather as crew members on the same ship, seeking out new life forms and civilizations. The game, which uses the Unreal Engine, is currently available as a free pre-alpha demo on Steam, allowing players to traverse the entire galaxy in real-time and visit billions of star systems and planets from orbit. The Kickstarter campaign has garnered support from over 1,700 backers and has raised nearly £16,000, with 24 days remaining. The first stretch goal of the project is VR support, offering an immersive experience for players interested in virtual reality gameplay.
