Beyond These Stars

Build a city on the back of a Space Whale and learn to coexist as you journey through the stars. Manage intricate supply chains and the needs of your people as you build outposts, meet aliens, and uncover the mysteries of the universe.

Kia ora everyone 👋 Since November last year we've been writing dev blogs every fortnight(ish) to talk about our work on Beyond These Stars, and to talk about our day to day lives at the studio too. I've decided to link all of them in this post so you can check them out! Expect brand spankin' new posts coming soon though, starting with our Creative Director Sam.
