I've just launched New Worlds in early access on itch.io: an open-world space sim where you navigate gravity to fly Missions, assemble a Faction, build a fleet and settle "New Worlds".

You start with one ship, the Lodestar, in the Solus system. Every star, planet and moon pulls on you, so getting anywhere is a question of fuel and timing: blast straight at your target, or caress your orbit to slingshot past a gas giant for a fraction of the fuel.

Silva over Fulgor — Silva: jewel of the Candor system, suspended over its father Fulgor, with the blue Caeruleus peeking through his rings

- Multi-body Newtonian gravity: plan burns, get captured by moons, slingshot past gas giants

- A living economy: trade between markets while rival Factions expand with or without you

- Settle and terraform: grow worlds from the first outpost to megacities

- Run your Faction: the new update adds Tax and Tariff rates, traded against your people's Loyalty

- 3 star systems, 38 worlds, and multiplayer for up to 4 players

Aquara Surface Map — Surface Map of Aquara, the Solus system's best hope for a second Terra. Factions compete for territory.

The demo is free and plays right in your browser - the whole Solus system, 200 in-game years. Windows, Linux and Android downloads too. The full game is $4.99 in early access, with a Steam key when 1.0 launches.

It's just me making it, so I'd love to hear one thing: how long did it take you to reach your first moon, or finish the Tutorials, and what got in the way?

Thanks for reading!
