The idea developed during our so called “Proto-Fridays”. On these days we develop small prototypes and if an idea sticks, we'll flesh it out and rework it until it's ready for production. A huge inspiration was Elite (2) and that there wasn't a real space trading simulation that appealed to us since then and most space sims are to dry and unpersonal, so we decided to have the crew as a main element.
Our target user is male 20-40 and has a huge interest in sci-fi and simulation like Elite. But the quirkiness, humour and style will also be appealing to female gamers who like life simulation games like The Sims.
We're proud of a lot of things and how all features work together, but the overall style which aims for a 60s 70s sci-fi look and feel is something we're really proud of.
