Rebuilding Better Together for the 1.0 Launch of Young Suns

Young Suns is a 1-to-4 player cozy narrative life sim set on Jupiter in the aftermath of a successful revolution, and is leaving Game Preview today!

We really wanted to create a universe that felt welcoming, rather than cold and harsh, and you can see this reflected in the vibrancy of the universe we built. Moonlets are teeming with life, abandoned stations are awash in bright colors with characters tinkering away to bring them back to functionality, and space itself is full of resources to collect and space boosts to nab as you make your way across the cosmos.

Young Suns is constantly changing and expanding, all thanks to the thoughtful feedback from players during Game Preview. I’m so excited to share what’s to come in our 1.0 launch, and can’t wait to continue growing Young Suns with the community. Let’s dig into the world and see what’s new.

Note: Because of the massive overhaul in 1.0, Game Preview save data will not be compatible with 1.0.

Nothing exists alone in Young Suns, and we were really eager to use our time in Game Preview developing Young Suns with the community. We’re so grateful to everyone who took the time to check out the Jovian System and share their thoughts. One of the first community suggestions was a way to clean out your inventory, which led to us developing our donation boxes found on stations, providing players with a way to earn more gratitude and free up space in their backpacks.

Another suggestion we implemented was more masculine hairstyles. We’ve always strived to have our character be as inclusive as possible, and when players asked for a wider range, we got to work. Players can now choose from a variety of hairstyles, and we’re excited to keep expanding.

While in Game Preview, many of our core systems, including narrative and quest content, were still in-progress. In 1.0, you’ll meet the revolutionaries of the Jovian System through our eight distinct factions, all who have a different idea of how to rebuild. You’ll be able to align with any of these factions that suits you best, earning reputation and faction-exclusive rewards to add to your character and customize your ship, and their side of the story.

You’ll explore derelict ruins overflowing with pre-revolutionary junk, converted stations that have upcycled machinery corporations left behind, and moonlets home to fantastical flora and fauna, rich mineral deposits, and even more discarded bits and bobs from abandoned construction work.
