Welcome to the Corps
Astronaut Corps is a multiplayer space exploration game currently under development by Ground Control Software. The aim is to simulate realistic near to mid future space missions to astrological bodies within our solar system and beyond. Crews of players, each of whom will fullfill a specific role with specific duties, will embark on realistic missions in an RPG style, that can either be devised entirely by them or handed down from Ground Control. Players actions will directly contribute the game Canon and their own devised experiments will shape the progress of the in game technologies
2014 - Ground Control
Astronaut Corps
Some Key Features Include:
Crew positions - Play as a mission commander, pilot, engineer, botanist, landing specialist or scientist and cooperate towards a successful mission
Realistic spaceflight - changing orbits and planing burns with an emphasis on efficiency and the physics involved. Plan and execute missions to any of the Planets or Moons in our solar system
A full maintenance and damage system for the ships - Players will have to maintain their craft for the duration of their mission and recover from events such as solar radiation damage or debris/micro-meteor collisions
Full resource management - Fuel, Oxygen, Water, Food, Waste. All will have to be considered during the course of a mission
Communication and cooperation with other crews - Run out of spare parts and stranded? Send a distress call to other crews nearby and maybe they will come to your rescue.
Design your own experiments - Game mechanics will allow players to design their own experiments and make discoveries that will influence the games direction

News for July 2014:
Astronaut Corps changes Engines!
We are currently underway with porting the game over from the Unity engine to the Unreal engine. This will allow greater flexibility with development and allow us to deliver something that looks as good as it plays. Expect video and screenshots soon...
Preparing for Kickstarter
We are also currently putting together our presentation materials for Kickstarter. Look out for us on there very soon and show your support by backing our development.
