Spacecraft construction game: Spacecrafter (iOS/PC)

[Mesoa]

Hey all,

I’m creating a spacecraft construction command game called Spacecrafter.

Features so far:

• Spacecraft editor mode with basic functionality to add, move and connect spacecraft parts
• Spacecraft parts: cockpit, cargo hull and rocket engine. Each part with their own functionality, condition and power consumption
• Spacecraft command mode with touch/click controls for activating individual spacecraft parts
• Damage system for individual spacecraft parts
• Asteroid fields with ability to destroy asteroids and tractor beam minerals to spacecrafts cargo bay
• Procedurally generated planets
• Planetary trade system

Here’s a short gameplay video from my alpha build:

I also set up a Facebook page for development updates. So if you’re interested check it out too: https://www.facebook.com/spacecraftergame

Spacecrafts in Spacecrafter are constructed by combining various modules together. Here’s an example of spacecraft that is powered with solar panels and has 3 rocket engines for movement:
