Hello everyone. Just a quick one to announce the demo is now on steam for everyone to play. I’m not sure how long exactly it will be up for, that depends on how much interest it receives. If many people are still playing come Monday, then i will keep it up for another week.
Anyway, please go give it a spin (Click the image below to go to the demo page) and report any feedback, suggestions or issues you have at one of the links below.

Announcement Trailer
Today we released our announcement trailer. Please let us know what you think.
An anatomy of a small ship.
Whilst working on the atmosphere and gas systems i thought i should balance how i expect a small ship to look like, what components it would have and how much power and air it would need to be a fully functioning space ship.
Here is a ship with a generator, console, transponder, life support system, thruster and then all the cables, ducting and vents required for everything to work and keep the crew safe. I suspect these starting items will need to support at least 3 crew members but will be fairly inefficient once you start to build larger ships, meaning you will need to build different components and plan out how you will lay your cables, ducting and ventilation as your ship grows. This will be especially important when you consider things like maintenance and combat situations.
Don’t forget you can wishlist SpaceSlog on Steam or the EGS.
Atmosphere in SpaceSlog
In this dev video we briefly ramble on about the atmosphere systems in SpaceSlog, amongst other things.
The atmosphere systems are now mostly done and our focus has been turned to Ai.
Steam, Wishlist data and Godot 4.
