Space colony building sim Space Haven 1.0 is finally here

After many years in development, Space Haven from Bugbyte Ltd. has finally left Early Access with the big 1.0 release out now.

Originally inspired by games like RimWorld, Oxygen Not Included, and Spacebase DF-9, alongside classic sci-fi series including Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, and Firefly, Space Haven blends deep simulation systems with player-driven storytelling in a richly atmospheric sci-fi universe.

Since it entered Early Access back in 2020, it has managed to hit over 700,000 sales and a Very Positive rating on Steam. An ambitious game but seems players have been enjoying it. With the 1.0 release it delivers a complete survival sandbox experience, inviting players to lead a ragtag crew of civilians on a desperate search for a new home among the stars.

What to expect from it? Deep colony management with spaceship construction where every little decision matters. Manage things like oxygen, power, temperature and more while balancing the needs of your crew. Each member of your crew is fully simulated too with unique skills, traits, moods, relationships and psychological states. While there's a lot of ship management to do there's a lot more than just that - there's even ship to ship combat, and you can send off an away team to derelict vessels and do a little trading.

A lot of the game is procedurally generated so it will be different each time you go through.

It's usually priced at $24.99 / €24.99 / £19.99 with a nice 40% discount for two weeks until May 27th.
