This game is like SFS, with aircraft, walkers and off-world colonies.
I’m making 9.8: a 2D space agency sim where you design the vehicles, develop the technology and build your way across an alien star system.
What would you build first?

POV: you light a nuclear pulse drive
You light the drive, hold the throttle and ride the blasts through the rings of Noctyron.
9.8 is a physics and space agency simulator, Early Access on Steam December 15. Wishlist 9.8 on Steam.

Early Access on December 15th will feature for the first time the ability for players to dock their crafts together and share the control. This will be all kinds of fun chaos.

9.8 update 0.6.33 adds big upgrades to the physics of explosions. Asteroids now break apart, parts explode into physical shrapnel and explosions now cascade instead of oblitering the rockets in one frame.

2D KSP, but your friends have missiles.
9.8 is a 2D space agency sim with real orbital physics, and it has multiplayer. Who fires first?
Free demo on Steam, Early Access December 15.

Thank you The Outpost! For a super honest and nice article on 9.8. Some good praise and very thoughtful criticism that I'll keep working on. Obrigado 🙏
9.8 me fez perceber como construir um foguete é apenas o começo de uma missão espacial.
O simulador da @9point8Game combina montagem de veículos, física orbital de múltiplos corpos e exploração em 2D. Gostei especialmente da liberdade para experimentar diferentes projetos, embora algumas mecânicas ainda precisem ser mais intuitivas.
Testei a demonstração no PC e fiquei interessado no potencial do projeto, principalmente pela maneira como cada erro se transforma em aprendizado.
Na minha preview no The Outpost, conto o que achei da jogabilidade, da física e do desempenho.

This indie game is basically 2D KSP, but with multiplayer.
Would you race your friends to orbit or crash into them?
9.8 has a free demo on Steam, link in bio. Early Access December 15. #ksp #kerbalspaceprogram #spacegame #indiegame #gamedev #sfs

Thanks for the mention. I think it's the first time I see 9.8 in these Steam Next Fest lists out in the wild so this is very much appreciated 🙏
I don't have a ton of time to play #NextFest demos, but here are some games I've had my eye on, and think deserve some more attention! #steam #indiegames

Finally, multiplayer in a rocket sim.
What could go wrong?
🚀 9.8 demo is receiving its multiplayer update Monday Oct 19. Bring in your friends. Let's have a rocket party.
Wishlist on Steam.

I Can Finally Reveal When 9.8 Launches
A few big 9.8 updates: secret content update in 1 week, major performance improvements and finally an Early Access date.
The demo is free on Steam now.

The 2D space agency simulator 9.8 (@9point8Game), designed by solo indie developer André under Tremoço Games, has an updated demo available on Steam and is scheduled to launch on December 15. The project is built around orbital physics, with celestial bodies and vehicles governed by n-body systems, allowing for unconventional situations such as altering the orbit of a moon. The experience combines the complexity of space simulators with a more relaxed presentation, placing players on a progression that begins with simple operations and gradually advances toward increasingly distant missions.
Progression starts practically from scratch and depends on expanding the space program’s observation and exploration capabilities.

Fill your orbit with junk, catch an asteroid, drive across the ocean, land a booster on a boat and drive a rover on the Moon. v0.6.28 is out now with performance improvements. Play the demo and wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4… #indiegame #spacegame #gamedev #rockets

Joel at wala wala games wrote the most beautiful love letter to 9.8. Teary eyes here. Thanks so much and thank you for keeping games press alive and honest in this day and age.
I want to thank #indie developer @9point8Game André B. Silva of Tremoço Games, for the chance to try out 9.8, a rocket science/physics game that's actually fun.
Remember building rocket kits as a kid and chasing the parachute through the neighbor's yard? 9.8 brings that feeling back.
You build rockets, launch them into orbit, land on moons, set up colonies and deploy satellites. If we'd had this in school, half of us would be working at NASA right now.🧑🔬
