In the distant future, the power of science and technology has ushered a new age to the human race. Space and time have become irrelevant thanks to virtual reality. A new kind of supercomputer has been developed – a machine which superior AI and computing capability will push humanity even further. There is only one problem: there isn’t enough energy in the whole planet to feed this machine!

You are a space engineer in charge of a project launched by the space alliance COSMO, tasked with a massive undertaking: constructing Dyson Spheres (a megastructure that would orbit around a star, harnessing all its power and energy) to produce the energy that humanity needs. Only a few decades ago, Dyson Spheres were considered a hypothetical, impossible invention – but now it’s in your hands… Will you be able to turn a backwater space workshop into a galaxy-wide industrial production empire?

Neutron stars, white dwarfs, red giants, gaseous and rocky planets… There is a big and varied universe out there, waiting for you to gather all its resources.

Every playthrough will be unique: your universe will be procedurally generated every time you start a new game. There will be different types and distribution of stars, planets and resources. Will you manage to thrive and build your Spheres, no matter what the universe throws at you?

As a space engineer, you are expected to design your interstellar factory and production lines, not to micromanage every small package going back and forth. You have to transport materials from one planet to another, forming interstellar transport teams that gather resources and bring them to where they are needed.

Then, your resources can be transported between facilities through conveyor belts, and you’ve got the technology to help your buildings fit the grid automatically during the construction process. You’ve got the best tools COSMO can afford to build a massive-scale automated production line – the most efficient one ever seen in the universe!

Greetings, engineer! The COSMO agency is glad to let you know that your mission is about to begin: Dyson Sphere Program will launch on Steam on January 21th, 2021!

The final price will be confirmed at a later date.

Interested fans can still back the Dyson Sphere Program Kickstarter campaign, which has already exceeded its initial funding goal and unlocked its first stretch goal.

Stretch Goal I: $12,000 ─ Community Galaxy: See other players’ progress reflected in your universe: each star in this galaxy will represent the energy output of another player. The brightness of their stars will be more or less intense depending on the energy output of their factories.

Stretch Goal II: $18,000 ─ Voiceover and localization: English voiceover will be added to the game, as well as localizations to two extra languages: German and French.

Stretch Goal III: $24,000 ─ Assembly Space Module: You asked for a Space Station and here it is! Starting from a small cube, create and customize your own floating base in the vastness of space, choosing between different modules that will provide you with different abilities. In Dyson Sphere Program you can only build facilities on the surface of a planet, so it can’t escape its gravity – but with the Space Module you can shoot their components to space and put them together up there!

Stretch Goal IV: $42,000 ─ Wandering Sun: Build thrusters so powerful that they can move a whole star. What could you possibly do with your own wandering sun…?

Key Features:

• Create a galactic industrial empire from scratch: start with a small workshop and improve it until it spans the whole galaxy.
• Develop your very own Dyson Spheres, a megastructure that orbit around stars harnessing all its power and energy, from the first screw to its completion.
• Explore a vast universe procedurally generated with all kinds of celestial bodies: neutron stars, white dwarfs, red giants… 
• Build mechas to fly, sail or jump through outer space and alien planets.
• Transport materials across the galaxy to your facilities: thousands of transport ships will flow endlessly to your factories and back!
• Design the most efficient automated factory and production line.
• Customize your factory and Dyson Sphere to make it unique.
• Design a balanced power network, capable of producing energy in all kinds of power plants like wind turbines, artificial stars…

Dyson Sphere Program is in development for PC and will be coming to Steam Early Access in 2021.
