A Home Among the Stars is a submission to GameDev.tv Game Jam 2021, my first ever Game Jam.

A Strategy\Survival tactical game in space. You are a simple pilot struggling to survive and your ship is your home. Build a crew, take on missions but with each mission the choice of rewards is up to you. Do you resupply fuel? Stock your food? Or grab that precious gold to upgrade your ship?

Beware of your choices. A ship without fuel moves slowly, a ship without upgrades is severely limited, and a empty food reserve means death for your crew and yourself! Can you find the balance? How many days can you survive out in the black while exploring the universe?


Models: created in Blender. Planets\Star created using Grand Designer from STEAM.

The game is very well made, I'm just no good at it. I like it though.

Will there be a Linux build for this eventually?

Thanks for reaching out! I can certainly try a Linux build, though I currently do not have a setup to test it out before uploading it to the itch.io site

All the setup you'd need would be one machine to try it one, one USB pen-drive for a Linux live system and possibly another one to put the game one. But worry not, I'd certainly like to give it a test run ;)

Added a Linux build with my latest update, hope it works well

It worked fine on my machine!
