🛠️Orbit Engineer – Small Update & A Sneak Peek at What's Coming!

Hello Engineers! 👋

I hope you're all enjoying the early stages of Orbit Engineer and having fun designing, building, and expanding your very own space stations!

I've been working on a few smaller improvements to the game, so rather than creating a separate announcement for each one, I've decided to bundle them together into this little update.

Let's take a look at what's new, what's being worked on, and a few hints at what's coming next! 🚀

🔧 What's New?

Here are the latest improvements now in the game:

• New Game Button – A new button has been added to make starting a new game easier.

• Updated Main Menu – Added the game logo to the menu and removed the previous text to give it a cleaner look.

• Smaller Building Progress Bars – Reduced the size of the building progress bars so they take up less screen space while you're working on your station.

They're only small changes, but every improvement helps make the overall experience that little bit better!

🏗️ A Few Things Already in the Works

There are also some smaller features and fixes being worked on behind the scenes that won't each get their own announcement.

These include:

• Individual Save Files – Manage your different games and station builds separately.

• Additional Research Missions – More missions to complete, giving you new ways to earn money.

• Building Connection Fixes – Addressing some parts that appear slightly separated or aren't connecting correctly.

🌌 A Bigger Update Is on the Horizon!

I'm also planning a much bigger update for Orbit Engineer, with some exciting additions that I hope will expand the gameplay and give you even more to work towards.

Here's a little preview of what's planned:

• Redesigned Tablet – A fresh new design for the in-game tablet.

• Pre-Research Tasks & Mini-Missions – Additional tasks to complete before progressing into research.

• Finances & Bank Loans – New financial systems, including the ability to take out loans to help fund your projects.

• 👀 A Little Hint… External Building! – That's all I'm saying for now!

And, of course, there are a few more smaller additions planned that I'm going to keep under wraps for the moment. 😉

💬 Your Ideas Matter!

As Orbit Engineer continues to grow through Early Access, I want to hear what you'd like to see added to the game.

Have an idea for a new feature? Something you'd like to improve? Or perhaps something you think would make station building even more enjoyable?

Please let me know! Your feedback and suggestions are a valuable part of the development process, and I'd love to hear what you think.

Thank You, Engineers!

Finally, I want to say another huge thank you to everyone who has supported Orbit Engineer since the beginning of Early Access.

We're still at the start of this journey, and there's a lot more work ahead, but I'm excited about what's coming and hope you'll continue to stick around, share your ideas, and grow alongside the game.

Every player who joins us makes a difference, and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can build together!

Until next time, happy station building, Engineers! 🛰️
