A multiplayer spaceship bridge simulator game, where your crew each takes a different position on a futuristic spaceship, explore space, meet aliens, complete missions, and hopefully keep your ship in one piece!

If you've ever played Artemis, Empty Epsilon, Starship Horizons, Star Trek: Bridge Crew, heck even SpaceTeam, this is in the same genre. It's pretty much Space DnD, with the option to have a Game Master role.

Still under development, but by the time its done it'll have a 3D universe simulation, crew and ship systems simulation, interactive controls for a whole bridge of friends, and an interactive mission designer.

I've got a handful of donations coming in through OpenCollective, but I just about break even with my hosting and Apple Developer program costs.
