Protospace

Haul valuable cargo between sprawling star systems.

Bounty Hunt wanted outlaws for a fistful of credits.

Mine planets for the raw materials that fuel the economy. 

Upgrade over 50 ships from a humble starter to a specialized freighter, a fearsome gunship, or a long-range explorer. The economy is alive and reacts to your trades. The bounties are dangerous and elusive.

I want to add another 50 ships and support craft.

The galaxy is a cold, dark place, but it's full of opportunity.

PROTOSPACE is a 2D sci-fi sandbox that puts you at the helm of a starship with one goal: survive and profit.

From the top-down tactical view of your lo-fi starmap terminal to your shipyard with a view of your current ship and upgrades, you'll navigate a massive, procedurally generated region of space. Every dot on the star chart is a destination, and every destination is a choice.

Hand painted ship art with over 50 ship types, land on alien worlds and use smaller craft when on-world to increase your chances of completing missions. 

Current worlds

• Rocky

• Gas Giant

• Temperate

• Ice

• Volcanic

• Barren

• Oceanic

  These types directly influence which planetary features (like Mineable Ores, Habitable Zone, or Exotic Flora) are more likely to appear on that celestial body, which in turn affects the missions and resources available to the player there.

  Space Station types

• Mining

• Industrial

• Agricultural

• Trading Hub

• Refinery

• Luxury

• Outpost

• Scientific

• Military Base

• Shipyard

• Each of these station types has specific modifiers that affect the local market prices.

I have wanted a game like this for a long time but nobody was making it, and that really annoyed me. - Drummo

I am a solo gamedev but I have many years of experience working for some of the big companies. I have worked for Microsoft, Grinding Gear Games, THQ, Marvel. This project has been my obsession, most of it was designed in my sketchbooks late at night or at my local cafe with terrible coffee.

This is not some vaporwear title, I test it daily and am mostly just fixing bugged missions at this point.

Add this to your wishlist and i'll get it done.
