'Space for Sale' Steam Early Access Update Adds Fresh Content And QoL-Features - Trailer

by Rainier on Sept. 9, 2024 @ 11:01 a.m. PDT

Space for Sale is an exploration/survival sandbox game where your job as a property developer is to build fine estates for your demanding clients.

Space ... the final procedurally generated frontier! Venture out in your trusty ship to discover the wonders of the solar system!

Space for Sale follows the delightful journey of an intergalactic property developer on a mission to build hospitable dwellings, cosy lodgings and luxurious estates.

Your list of househunting alien clientele is ever expanding, and so are their demands for prime real estate on unexplored worlds. It's up to you to research the local wildlife, gather resources, construct your base, and turn these harsh biomes into dream neighbourhoods.

A word of warning - some of the local flora and fauna have a taste for space realtors, and you'll need to keep your wits about you if you're going to survive. You may even want to bring in a co-op partner to help.

Don't jump the gun just yet, though - careful observation and experimentation might yet win them over. Learn how the local lifeforms have survived each planet's unique environment, and use your discoveries to enhance the structures and gadgets you create!

But it’s not all about your clients. You can plan anything to your hearts’ desire. Do you want to have the most efficient power grid? Or build a cozy getaway lodge on the edge of the planet? It's entirely up to you.

Mirage Game Studios has launched a new update for the Space for Sale, currently in Early Access.

Dubbed "Lift Off," this update answers many fan requests and packs in a rocket-load of quality-of-life improvements and fresh content. Players can now dive into a brand-new event, working for the legendary Glorpian Gardener, Glick Glorpenschmirz - now there's a name that's sure to leave a crater in history!

The "Lift Off" update introduces highly-requested features like the ability to relocate already-built structures, global hub management (fancy lingo for "access all your resources from anywhere on a planet"), a bustling market, and a galaxy of UI improvements. These additions are critical steps in our mission to provide the ultimate experience for all aspiring space realtors!

And that's not all—the journey doesn't stop here! Prepare for the next thrilling update, "The Red Planet," set to launch soon, bringing with it new environments, biomes, creatures, buildings, and more. The cosmos is the limit!
