Anything new?

This forum supports the Early Access Program for the PC for Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager (SPM). iOS, Android and Mac releases are still in development. SPM is the ultimate game of space exploration. It is the mid 1950s and the race for dominance between the US and the Soviet Union is about to move into a new dimension: space. Take charge of the US or Soviet space agencies - your duty is be the first to the moon. Carefully manage your budget by opening programs, spending R&D funds on improving the hardware, recruiting personnel and astronauts and launching space missions in this realistic turn based strategy game.

Hello folks,

It's been a busy weekend! I've been writing the storyboards for the last couple of missions we need for part 1 of the game and reviewing and fixing the animations that the rest of the guys have been doing.

Development is moving along, we're aiming to release the full sandbox mode during the beta along with all the available missions for part I. Campaign mode will come as an update during the beta process. Unfortunately, we're a really small team and I need to spend quite a bunch of time doing administrative stuff, but rest assured that things are progressing on a daily basis (yes, we're working Saturdays and Sundays as well!).

As requested, here's a screenshot that Mauricio (our 3D artist) sent me yesterday. It depicts a Gemini spacecraft "catching up" with another Gemini in order to do a rendezvous.

Cheers,

That's fine, don't worry about it. Once the 'early adopters program' becomes available, you'll get constant updates in the forum from me and we'll open up the development process even more.
