The Spatials Set on Invading Steam

Some indies have much longer trials and travails, but sooner or later, persistence pays off.

Some indies have much longer trials and travails, but sooner or later, persistence pays off. After five months on Steam Greenlight and three public Alphas, a team of just two brothers received approval for The Spatials to be distributed on Steam.

The Spatials transports us to the year 5781, when you are chosen to build a colony on an alien planet. One part of the game has you playing a sim manager/builder as you create a habitable, thriving living quarters for the squad, from bedrooms and kitchens to entertainment rooms. Random visitors frequent the locale to try your products.

But the galaxy is a huge place, and The Spatials offers exploration and light ARPG elements. With 30 star systems and over 100 planets to venture to, each randomly generated when the game starts, the game has you picking a team of five to research and conduct space discoveries. Also, there will be fighting, so natural resources and items found on the way can power up the heroes. The officer skills are flexible based on the loot found.

Clearing the Greenlight hurdle is a marking milestone for the team, but the updates have been and will continue to be consistent for the game. After significant overhauls for the 2.0 version, the upcoming 2.3 patch is likely to end the Alpha phase of the The Spatials .

The game is still available right now for purchase as it is from Desura for $7.49. Available for Mac and PC, if you get the current Early Access version, you’ll get updates as they come up to the final version for free. The price may go up as the game is fully developed and released. To embark on the space mission, look over their Steam pageand also check out website.
