The game and its tools

Orion is a strategy game about the connections between exploration, economy, politics, and conflict. Colonies, fleets, and political decisions draw on the same economy and affect the same campaign.

Building the engine alongside the game gives us control over the simulation, editor, and interface. It also means a lot of the work happens behind the scenes: testing saves, measuring campaigns, and improving tools.

This website follows that work. The roadmap shows what is implemented, what is being refined, and what is still a proposal.
