Space station building sim Starmancer is looking really good from the new E3 trailer, coming to Linux

Funded on Kickstarter, Starmancer really looks like it's coming along nicely and they had a trailer to show off during E3.

This is another I've written about before, because I absolutely love space sci-fi and during the Kickstarter campaign it did have a Linux prototype building demo available which had a good feel to it. It's currently in Alpha, which became available to backers in April which continues Linux support at the early stages which is great.

This is one I personally helped to fund, although only at a normal level so I likely won't be taking a look at the Alpha or Beta. It's going to be quite a detailed game with plenty of complexity, so you will be managing all sorts of resources and getting everything wired up, while also dealing with space pirates!

Feature Highlight:

• Build a space station, with tons of customization.
• Manage the lives of colonists aboard your station.
• Interact with a dynamically generated solar system and its inhabitants.
• Take on missions and be rewarded with loot.
• Face the consequences of your actions.
• Modding support.

I will be very interested to see how it compares with Space Haven, which I do have early access for and I'm already very impressed by it. They both have very similar themes, although Space Haven still seems quite different since your station is a moving ship.

Starmancer also now has a fresh Steam page up, so you can hop along and wishlist/follow.
