You are among the last surviving crew of a decimated interplanetary civilization. To bring your people back from the brink of collapse, build modular stations out of the wreckage, manage a thriving crew of citizens, and manufacture vital resources. Make fuel and move your colonies across procedurally generated solar system in a massive N-body gravity simulator. 

Built from scratch in Rust by a solo developer (that's me, Dave!), Stella Nova unravels as a living universe where you are the builder, the fighter, the politician. You will take helm of the reconstruction of a spacefaring civilization. The custom physics and rendering engine (WarpCore) is super lightweight, taking up less than 500mb on disk, and capable of rendering thousands of entities on screen without skipping a beat. 

Stella Nova features:

  • Accurate Time Dilating Astrophysics Engine - Off-rails physics

    • Stella Nova features a living and breathing universe with thousands of dynamic objects visible and adhering to real n-body orbital physics. A unique aspect of the rendering engine built from scratch is that the player has control over the flow of time, dilating and compressing the flow of time at will.

  • Modular Station Construction (Crossword Puzzle Style)

    • Create stations which are little factories that you will develop to automatically manufacture resources, with the help of your citizens, that is :)

  • Colony Management

    • Assign citizens to attend to various tasks to support the wellbeing of your colony. You just give them an assignment, and they do the work!

  • Stories from the Cataclysm

    • Featuring 30 unique citizen stories written with the help of my girlfriend :)

  • Plan Real Hohmann Transfers between Planets

    • Work with real orbital mechanics and physics in order to fly interplanetary distances on crafts powered by your citizens. Manufacture fuel and expand your civilization across the solar system.

  • 6-Tier Crafting Chain ::: 52 resources, 41 recipes
