It's a big day for Beyond Astra! We're finally unveiling the game we've been working on for the past 5 years!
The trailer briefly shows, in order of appearance: ships moving through space, simultaneous space/surface gameplay, troop landings, ground armies, the city building system, the space trade route system, the space station building system, the ship building system, exploration, planetary biomes, supraluminal travel, and megastructure.

You can learn more about the genesis of Beyond Astra on our website.
Thank you all for your support, especially those who have followed me for several years.
