Astro Architect

From the Devs

Astro Architect is a city-builder game, where you take on the role of the architect that works for the mega space corporation who takes care of one of the space stations. Your responsibilities include expanding the space station, taking care of the needs of employees, managing resources and logistics, and sending expeditions to further explore space.

Unlike most city builder games, in Astro Architect building is done by playing cards that depend on the vote of your workers.

Each cycle, your people vote based on their needs, their aptitude and the current state of the station, which makes each playthrough unique.

Additionally, at the very beginning, you can decide for which corporation you work for, which defines the direction of the tasks assigned by the corporation's CEO, as well as a development tree that, in this difficult world of business, will make it at least a little easier for you to move towards your goal.

Build your station using cards

Place the corridors to define communication routes for your employees.

Decide where each room will be located, what functions it will serve, separate living quarters from workstations so that noise won't hurt your employees and their lives, despite the constant work, will be at least a little easier.

Put up warehouses to reduce the time it takes to transport resources between workstations.

However, you don't have to worry about the speed of deliveries, as this is taken care of by logistics drones that are qualified just for this, which, unlike humans, can work continuously and without any complaints.

Expand your influence

Is your current region not enough to build another workstation to drudge your employees? No problem. With the credits you earn, scan and buy more regions to expand your space station. While doing this, pay attention to resource deposits to make the most efficient use of them.

Or maybe your workstation is not doing a good enough job of producing resources? Just upgrade it and assign more workers. And just like that, efficiency +30%!

Workers, technicians, engineers and scientists are one of the main pillars of your space station, each of these groups has its own needs and whims, moreover, they can only occupy spaces in the workstations specific to them.

Thanks to the promotion system available in the game, transform a satisfied worker into a technician and beyond, giving you access to new cards, resources, people's needs and challenges.

Imaginary deadlines and ASAPs

Life in the corporate mill is a constant struggle for reputation and favor of your superiors.

Even though in the business world everyone is just one of many cogs that can easily be replaced in this huge mechanical monster, everyone still tries to fit in.

In Astro Architect, you'll come to face a multitude of challenges, from the trivial, such as firing an employee, to as significant as an impending void, or an impossible ASAP task assignment from the corporate CEO himself.

Most likely, at the least expected moment, when you're trying to keep your space station afloat, you'll hear that distinctive and chilling sound of the holo mail, and your fears will be right. The CEO himself has graced you with his attention and will demand meeting impossible targets, with too few people, too few resources and always too little time.

To top it all off, the time of void will begin, causing some of your buildings to cease functioning and your people to work less efficiently. Will you face this challenge?

Expeditions

If the area of your region of cosmos is not enough, you can send your people on expeditions.

You will often be faced with the choice of where to send your ship for further space exploration. How about answering the call of a station that asks for help? Or will you be tempted by a mysterious signal from a nearby planet? Or will you opt for a quick boost of credits, using your ship for escort? This is entirely up to you. Remember, however, that you must deal with the consequences.

Choose your ship, crew members and resources and send them into the unknown.
