Delos: Space Traffic Control

Description

Take command of your own named space station as its traffic controller. Your mission is straightforward but challenging: guide ships safely to dock while maintaining your station's resource balance. -- quick preamble from the developer hv -- Hi all, thank you for checking out Delos: Space Traffic Control. I've been working on this game for a few months in my spare time - probably accruing a few hundred hours worth of development. That being said, the game is --buggy-- at this current juncture. It will crash. There are missing features. If revenue allows for it, I would absolutely love to keep working on this, adding new features, and gradually bumping up the price by a dollar or two as it becomes a more substantial game. As it is now, I hope the price point is acceptable with the current state of the game! For full transparency, here are some things currently missing: - Sound effects (really) - Visual effects for ship collisions - Any sort of progression (i.e. station upgrades) But, my favorite feature is in game - it is a singleplayer game, but you can chat with other players in the comms menu! Here is what I'd like to add to the game should revenue allow for continued development: - Lane drawing: Draw and assign lanes for ships to travel on - Ship patience timer: Get the ship in and out of your sector within the allotted time or else it incurs an incident - Reputation system: Gain reputation with pilots/corporations to facilitate more gameplay options between them - Narrative: Learn about the world through talking with the pilots that dock at your station - Station upgrades: Bigger berths, bigger ships, station infrastructure, etc. - And a lot more Anyways, I hope you enjoy your time with the game should you purchase it. Beyond the money exchanged (my deepest thanks), it also means the world to me that you would take time out of your day to try out the game. Please hop in the Discord and share your thoughts! I hope you have a great rest of your day and thanks for reading. -- on to the marketing speak -- KEY FEATURES: TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT - Direct two types of ships to appropriate docking berths - Prevent collisions by managing traffic flow - Approve or deny docking requests based on your station's needs RESOURCE BALANCING - Manage ships that sell resources to your station - Coordinate with ships that purchase resources from your station - Maintain a careful balance to avoid resource depletion STATION OPERATIONS - Name your space station to establish your identity - Chat with other players about strategies and experiences - Track how long you can keep your station operational SURVIVAL CHALLENGE - Your station consumes resources continuously - Strategic decisions determine how long you can survive - Score is based on operational longevity and efficiency The game focuses on the core challenge of resource management through traffic control. Each ship that docks either provides essential supplies or depletes your reserves. Your task is to maintain this delicate balance for as long as possible while ensuring safe docking procedures. How long can you keep your station running before resources run out? Take control and find out.
