About DSPACE
DSPACE is an incremental simulation game about resource management and the practical skills behind space exploration. v3 is live, and the current gameplay is intentionally grounded: you learn real-world systems on Earth first, then build toward the space era as new milestones ship. In the game, you will learn skills, work on quests, and grow a resilient technical foundation.
The game is still under active development. If you would like to get involved in the creation of the game, please join the Discord and say hello!
Start with the basics
Learn skills related to resource management, energy, fabrication, and life support. Current quests center on grounded systems like electricity, solar, aquaria, hydroponics, chemistry, electronics, and operations, so you build a working toolkit before heading off-world.
Gain momentum
Build confidence by assembling and validating real infrastructure: power systems, tools, monitoring, and small-scale manufacturing. The game is expanding bottom-up, so space-based orbital and suborbital launches are not playable yet; today's rocketry content is educational, model-rocket scale. When we introduce launch systems, you will already have the energy, materials, and operational habits needed to support them.
Research
In-situ resource utilization (ISRU), lunar mining, and deep-space fuel production are long-term goals. We are laying the groundwork first with terrestrial resource loops, storage, and process chains so that future off-world systems feel earned rather than assumed.
Create your own content
DSPACE is designed as an extensible platform where you can create and contribute. In v3, all custom content tooling below is available in-game:
Our Content Development Guide provides a comprehensive overview of all content creation options, workflows, and best practices.
Educational Foundation
All content in DSPACE is designed with education in mind. Through gameplay, you'll learn about:
