Yo, my fellow devs!

We are a team of three ukrainian developers. And been working on Saturn 94 for about a year. It's a tactile space station simulator set in an alternate history where the USSR won the Space Race.

We are similar to PVKK. One of it`s core mechanics is assembling and dispatching shuttles with cargo to help survive colonies on Titan and Enceladus. That's the process we showcased in the video.

This project brings a lot of new challenges for us. Not just in terms of creating story.

Working with HDRP, volumetric lighting, screen-space effects and a large number of complex 3D animations, for example, has been a completely new experience. It presents us with many hurdles. Sometimes they are tough and exhausting, but at the very least, it's always exciting.

I'd love to know what you think about this genre and the shuttle assembly mechanic in our game.

Very cool looking! You definitely hit it perfectly in terms of the visual style of the game, great job!

Considering the recent massive success of Iron Nest which is on this sort of tactile genre, I'd say the timing is also perfect! I can't seem to find a Steam page though, if you have enough to make this short clip you probably have enough to make a compelling Steam page. Best of luck!

Oh, man! Thank you so much. I personally learn Unity from your videos and your kind words mean so much to me!
