ALPHA IOTA, DEEP SPACE - July 15, 2026 - Ursa Dev has made the very stellar decision by signing their upcoming title Stellar Shipyard with Exothermic, a new publisher focused on supporting sci-fi games.
Stellar Shipyard is a multiplayer space colony sandbox where players design modular ships and stations, automate sprawling industrial networks, and build fleets capable of surviving whatever the galaxy (or their friends) throw at them.
Building up from a handful of workers and limited resources, players expand from a modest outpost into a thriving interstellar system. Every ship is built tile-by-tile in whatever configuration the player prefers. With or against friends.
Long-term planning is at the heart of every decision as players construct mining fleets, establish routes, automate production, and manage interconnected networks of ships and stations. Combat is a strategic war of attrition where preparation matters as much as firepower.
Rather than relying on shields or twitch reflexes, success comes from smart ship design, resilient supply chains, and carefully managed resources. Every battle tests the strength of a player's industry as much as their fleet.
Multiplayer is central to Stellar Shipyard, allowing players to build shared empires, establish trade partnerships, wage faction wars, or simply discover whose engineering can withstand the greatest challenges. Combined with extensive modding support, Stellar Shipyard gives players the freedom to create new technologies, factions, systems, and stories long after launch.
“I'm excited to partner with Exothermic to help share Stellar Shipyard with a wider audience,” said Adnan Ademović, the solo developer creating Stellar Shipyard. “Their support lets me focus on what I love most: building new systems, features, and possibilities for players to experiment with.”
“I am going to spend an ungodly number of hours playing this,” said Megan Carriker, Founder and Command Director of Exothermic. “And I hope to bring it to others who can also lose touch with reality and their loved ones as they get lost in this masterpiece. It’s like if Factorio and Cosmoteer had a baby. In Bosnia and Herzegovina.”
Stellar Shipyard will come out when it’s ready to come out. In the meantime, check out media kit assets here and wishlist it on Steam because this game is going to result in some delightfully absurd spaceships. And who doesn’t love that?
