Between Two Stars

Between Two Stars is a 2D, procedurally generated space exploration game. You command a newly built Pytheas class starship as part of a simulation for the Orpheus Corporation, using its jump drive to explore the Sierra Galaxy and discover worlds and materials to trade, craft with and use to build bases.

Explore the galaxy

The Sierra Galaxy contains approximately 500 million star systems, each with different raw materials to harvest. A system can contain anywhere from one to a dozen planets. Their temperatures, masses and atmospheric conditions are determined by their proximity to one or more stars.

Harvest materials

You build and deploy probes to collect planetary samples. Systems contain different combinations of minerals, gases and chemicals, each with strengths and weaknesses that affect its quality in crafting. Some planets support life, letting you gather flora and fauna as well as inorganic materials.

Craft and build

Use materials to craft ship parts such as engines, jump drives, power generators and comms arrays. You can also build larger ships and space stations. Mining and harvesting platforms collect minerals in a system while you are offline or away exploring.

Trade and connect

Build space stations to control systems and take a cut of the traffic and trade passing through them. Marketplaces on your stations let players trade raw materials and crafted objects, with a cut of the credits changing hands going to you. Better comms arrays let your ship receive messages from more distant systems and participate in a wider community.
