About this game
Development status
StoneSpace is currently in active development. Expect regular updates to graphics, systems, and gameplay as development continues. Follow along here on Steam for dev logs and progress updates.
Start with NOTHING… Craft EVERYTHING
StoneSpace offers a pure, comprehensive crafting experience. As the lone survivor of an ill-fated starship, stranded on an alien planet with nothing but the clothes on your back, you’ll embark on the ultimate crafting project to build a vessel that will carry you home. To do that, you’ll have to master everything from pottery to metallurgy, from farming to astroengineering. Go on a journey through the entire history of science and technology, from flint tools to nuclear reactors, navigation computers, and rocket fuel.
Start with nothing
In this game, you’ll start with nothing. And I really mean nothing. No wreckage conveniently strewn around a crash site to get you going, no fancy multi tool, no 3D printer – not even a map or a backpack. You’ll start from scratch, and craft everything yourself.
Grounded crafting system
The crafting in StoneSpace is grounded in the concepts and processes underpinning real-life engineering. Want a wooden plank? You’ll need to make an axe, fell a tree, trim the branches, hew a log from the trunk, debark it, split it along fault lines into rough flitches, and sand them smooth. Want a metal ingot? You’ll need to dig a mineshaft, light it up, erect supports, extract mineral-rich chunks, break those down to find nuggets, build a smelter, process lime, use good fuel, maintain the right temperature, and deal with the waste slag. Every material, tool, and process follows the same logic – no magic shortcuts, no hand-waving.
This is not a survival game
There’s no combat, and no hunger or thirst meters to babysit. You won’t be hunting animals for resources. You don’t even have a health bar. Just explore, gather, craft, and advance toward your final goal.
Quality of life
Pin recipes to the HUD, save your favourite items, search for things by name, build anywhere, rotate buildings, plan your base before committing resources, recycle what you no longer need, quickly move, drop, and organise items with shortcuts – all the best quality-of-life features from your favourite crafting games are included.
Key features
Exploration – Overcome environmental hazards and natural obstacles on your journey through multiple biomes, from forests to mountains and beaches.
Crafting – The heart of the game. Create hundreds of items across a dozen categories, from pottery to metallurgy to astroengineering.
Base building – Choose build sites, deposit materials, and erect structures to unlock new crafting stations.
Skills – Level up to increase your crafting speed and other stats.

Progress update: new biome and map mechanics
First of all, a massive thank you to everyone who downloaded, played or wishlisted StoneSpace during Steam Next Fest (or just in general!). Seeing people get sucked in and play for hours is incredible and gives me so much faith in the game’s future ☺️Now, a short update on how things are progressing with StoneSpace.A new biome has been added: the wetlands! This area provides access to both fresh and stagnant water, which is essential in early crafting recipes. There’s also edible cattails and other unique flora. It’s still very much a work in progress, but coming along very nicely I think! It’s also the last biome to add before releasing in early access, which is exciting!I’m currently working on adding the game’s map system. This allows you to craft a map and then update it periodically with areas you’ve explored, gradually filling the gaps. There’s a fair bit of coding still to do here, but nothing too complex. Other than that, I’m working through the other, smaller items on the early access checklist.Stay tuned for more updates ☺️Read full article on Community Announcements (REyAlis)Patch NotesOfficial

Demo delays and call for beta testers
Demo delays and call for beta testersUnfortunately, the first demo of StoneSpace will be delayed due to an intermittent glitch that is causing the game to close on launch. I’m investigating the root cause but it’s one of those tricky technical problems that could take a while to fix.In the meantime, I’m actively seeking volunteers to help me test the game. Since this issue happens intermittently, and only on some machines, I need to collect as much data as possible from a range of payers. This will also be a great opportunity to gather your feedback on the core systems and gameplay.If this project interests you and you’d like the chance to help bring it to life, as well as getting early access to the demo, please let me know in the comments and I’ll get a Steam key sent your way soon.Thank you.Read full article on Community Announcements (REyAlis)
