Orbit Engineer - Stage One!

🚀 The Journey Begins!

Today marks the very beginning of Orbit Engineer.

After a lot of work, learning, testing, and probably far too much time spent thinking about space stations, I'm incredibly excited to finally get the game into the hands of players.

But I want to be completely honest... This is only the start!

Orbit Engineer is being released in Early Access because I don't want to build this game completely on my own and simply tell you what the game is going to be.

I want the community to help shape it.

There are already plenty of ideas for where Orbit Engineer can go next, but I want to hear your ideas too.

💡 What would you like to build?

🛰️ What systems would you like to see?

👨‍🚀 What should your crew be able to do?

🌎 What missions, challenges or events would make the game more exciting?

🔧 What could be improved?

Even small pieces of feedback can help influence future updates.

The version you're playing today isn't the finished vision of Orbit Engineer. It's the foundation that we're going to build upon together.

🛠️ More updates are coming

As development continues, I'll be working on new features, improvements, content and systems based on feedback from the community.

Some ideas might make it straight into the game. Others might need more work or may not be possible but I want the conversation to happen.

If you find a bug, have an idea, think something could be better, or simply want to tell me what you're enjoying... Please let me know!

💬 Join the Discord

The best place to get involved is the Orbit Engineer Discord.

It's where I'll be sharing development updates, discussing upcoming features and, most importantly, listening to the people actually playing the game.

👉 Join the Discord and become part of the development journey.

🧑‍🚀 Want to support development?

There is also something a little special available through the Discord...

The real-life Orbit Engineer Engineer Patch. 🛰️

It's a physical patch inspired by the game and is available exclusively through the Discord. Getting one is a great way to show your support for Orbit Engineer and help contribute towards the continued development of the game.

Every bit of support helps.

Thank You to everyone who has wishlisted the game, tested it, shared it, given feedback or simply taken an interest in what I'm building.

See you in orbit,

JAMIE
