Sol Trader

It's not what you know, it's who... a space game that's all about people and relationships. Successfully funded, but you can still back the game to get beta access.

• Single-player combination of top down 2D spaceflight and strategic manipulation of your network of contacts
• No ship given to you at game start: you must take a loan and hire a ship, or borrow one from a wealthy relative
• Run missions using your family and friends' connections to government or business
• Research information on other characters through chatting to friends and relatives
• Customise your ship with lasers, passenger quarters, shields, bolt weapons, missiles and scanners
• Blackmail others with the information you find, or sell it to the press

• Procedural generation of a whole society of thousands of random characters
• Start every new game from your character's birth
• Choose your parents and all your major life choices as you grow up
• Your choices determine your personality and your friends, relatives and enemies
• Full modding support: change all the organisations, events, weapons, planets, ships, conversations and tutorial system.
• Windows, Mac and Linux at launch
