Guide humanity’s last colony ship through strange worlds, failing systems, alien encounters, and impossible choices in a replayable science-fiction survival roguelike.
Earth is gone, and the colony ship Stellar Broadcast carries humanity’s last hope into an unknown galaxy. Survey procedurally generated planets, read their visual clues, launch scarce probes, solve scientific puzzles, and manage the people and systems that must survive long enough to found a new civilization.
Stellar Broadcast is a narrative science-fiction survival roguelike in which every voyage creates a different story. As the AI of humanity’s last colony ship, players navigate 289 branching events, keep 15 interconnected ship systems alive, decode alien signals, and investigate richly rendered procedural planets with moons, rings, civilizations, and 53 surface features. Scanner damage can obscure exact readings, but the planet itself always reflects its true conditions—rewarding players who learn to read a world before risking the colony. Every landing combines the chosen planet, the state of the ship, Society, Culture, alien relations, and the voyage’s decisions into a detailed colony outcome ranging from extinction to a Golden Age.

Story angles
Useful starting points for features, interviews, and reviews.
- Learning to read a planet: visual conditions remain truthful even when damaged scanners hide or distort the numbers.
- What survives humanity: Society and Culture are tracked separately, so a technically successful colony can still inherit a fractured identity.
- Procedural without feeling anonymous: world identity combines seeded rendering, civilizations, landing sites, surface landmarks, and on-device neural-network names.
- A community-shaped solo project: balance, accessibility, prose, events, and planetary rendering continue to evolve directly from player reports.
- From mobile to desktop: the upcoming ad-free Steam edition targets Windows, macOS, and Linux, and its public store page is now open for wishlisting.
