Jumplight Odyssey
Please Read: Important Development Update
Please note: Due to significant financial strain, development on Jumplight Odyssey has paused indefinitely. Until development is resumed, LoG will donate 50% of our profit from every copy sold directly to individuals on the team.
Whilst our ambition for Jumplight Odyssey has not yet been realised, we feel that for those who see the magic in the concept there is still much enjoyment to be had. Even whilst development is paused. Our hope is that we are able to recommence development at some point in the future.
We have a vibrant, kind and active community of players in the League of Geeks Discord who would love to welcome any new starship captain aboard the SDF Catalina.
You can read the official announcement here and the FAQ in the Steam forums provides even more context.
About the Game
Lead your crew on a daring, star-flung escape to the sanctuary of the Forever Star in this roguelite starship colony sim.
Escape the clutches of Admiral Voltan and the warmongering Zutopans, as you build, repair, promote, defend, and grow, across multiple decks of your starship. With your home planet destroyed and your people lost, it’s up to you to keep Hope alive on a perilous adventure across the galaxy!
Also… There’s a pig. You can pet the pig. That’s all you really need to know.
- As captain, you are responsible for taking care of the human needs of everyone on your ship. Everything from socializing, sleep, food, to water and air. Wifi not included in this hierarchy of needs.
- A delightful and charming starship dollhouse experience, filled with a living crew going about their lives; eating, sleeping, working, and surviving. Your crew interact with each other as brothers, sisters, lovers, friends and rivals. Hopefully a little less of the latter, but we’re not making any promises.
- Moods and ideas are contagious. On this floating melodrama, emergent relationships and incidents have a direct impact on the crew. Keep the Hope of your crew high, or suffer the consequences!
- Explore different star systems with different biomes that have varying effects on your ship and crew.
- Manage emergent systems: fire, electrical strikes, radiation, loss of oxygen. Nothing runs smoothly forever.
- Promote everyday crew members to division officers, and then negotiate their differing management quirks as they run a tight ship, or burn it to the ground.
- Battle against hostile boarding parties and scramble your starfighters to defend against intergalactic invaders!
- Your journey is a treacherous one. Take lessons from each previous voyage, and retool your ship for new circumstances. Then try, try again.
- Keep exploring the galaxy. Rerun your daring escape and discover new encounters, events, characters and challenges each time.
- Scratch your naval ship building itch: lay out optimum corridors, build efficient management processes, and decorate the spaces to your specifications.
- Efficiently manage your resource production. From your water supply, to the ship’s gardens and farming spaces. You’ll need to optimize your systems to keep your ship and crew alive for as long as possible.
- Inventory management in space: keep the hangar deck organized and warp core humming. Can your crew stock fridges and shelves in zero gravity? Actually we’re not sure if they can either. Good luck.
- Inspired by epic 1970s star-spanning anime adventures – the likes of Star Blazers and more. Add some smooth 70’s Tokyo late night disco to keep the mood? You got it.
- Experience a dynamic toylike sandbox inspired by the Incredible Cross-Sections and What Do People Do All Day? series of books.

So much potential, it has all the makings of a truly great game. It's buggy and unfinished but I still find myself coming back to it every once in a while. Studio sounds like it is coming out of hibernation, hopefully they can give this title the attention it deserves.

I actually enjoyed the game. I can see why it has a lot of negative reviews but at the same time, the game was in early access mode. The mechanics were still being worked on but i had such a good time playing this game. Yes, there are bugs but thats exepcted. Its not the end product. I am dissapointed the game was discontinued. But i still try to make the best of it.

This game has so much potential, its truly a shame that development was stopped.

it's a good game but needs other ships besides the one ship surviving something with a bit more room in it and i feel like most people would agree with me on that and also having other captains

Obviously the game is incomplete, and may never be finished. It's buggy, and some of those bugs may end your run. But you can really see what they were going for. $30 is too much for an (actually) unfinished game, but if you catch it on sale, it could be worth it to see this bittersweet piece of unrealized potential.
