Space Haven is a 2020 simulation video game published by independent developer Bugbyte. It is a management simulation game in which players must protect and maintain a spaceship in search of a planet to colonise. Upon release of its early access version, the game received generally positive reviews, with praise directed to its level of detail and depth of gameplay mechanics, although criticism of its gameplay balance and completeness of some of its features.
The objective of the game is to manage and maintain one or more spaceships moving through space with a crew of four or more inhabitants, although the option to manage a stationary facility is also available. Players must construct systems that allow crew to survive in space, including to maintain levels of oxygen and heat. To construct new parts for the ship, players must collect resources mined from raw materials, or from salvaging wrecks of other ships.[1]
Development
Space Haven was announced in 2018 accompanying the release of a trailer.[2] The game was successfully crowdfunded by a Kickstarter campaign in early 2019,[3][4] and released in early access in 2020.[5] In 2022, the game received several major updates introducing new features, including additional characteristics to crew members, crew relationships, laser and plasma weapons, and faction leaders.[5][6]
