About the Game

About Space Architect

In a future where mega-corporations rule the universe's exploration, Earth is dying, and you were on the brink of homelessness. A mega-corp made you an offer you couldn't refuse—to live among the stars. The catch? A monstrous debt of $13 billion hanging over your head. Could you navigate the corporate maze and pay off the debt to gain your freedom in space?

Mine

Delve into space's treasure trove—mine asteroids, planets, stars, and even a black hole! Whether by using manual lasers or fancy automated drones, the universe is your oyster, and your station's thirst for resources knows no bounds.

Construct

Get your creative juices flowing and build all sorts of nifty devices to supercharge your station. Need more item production? Done. Want to automate things? You got it. Keeping your crew alive? Easy peasy. The sky's the limit! We are in space, which means there are no limits!

Production

Turn those shiny resources into even shinier items! Mix and match to create the latest and greatest items. It's like crafting a space-age masterpie, one doodad at a time.

Trade

Become the talk of the town—or rather, the radar—and charm passing ships into trading with you. Start with manual trades, then sit back as automation takes over. Cha-ching! Cash and tech points, here we come!

Tech

Level up your tech game by splurging those hard-earned points. More devices and items to choose from, more fun! It's like upgrading from a clunky space jalopy to a sleek star cruiser.

Black Corp

Watch out for those pesky folks at Black Corp and their R.E.A.P program. They're like the party poopers of the galaxy, but fear not! Pay off loan parts to reduce taxes, and kick corruption to the curb. Soon enough, even the bigwig ships will be knocking on your door for a piece of the action.

And remember, I have my faith in you! So go on, get out there and show the galaxy what you're made of!
