- Register your interest in the 'Space Station Designer' playtest version! - 19 June 2021
As you may know, we've been working for a few years now on a space station construction and management game named 'Space Station Designer'. At the end of 2020 we created a product page on Steam and during the last 6 months we continued working on the implementation of several features (you can read more about them in this new blog post). We'll be making version 0.3.0 of Space Station Designer publicly available here on Steam so that you can try out and give us feedback. We don't have a set date for this, but you can register your interest by clicking the 'Request Access' button in the game's store page: Have a great weekend!
