Smugglers of Cygnus - Early Access

This is the Early Access Alpha for Smugglers of Cygnus. The current development point is Alpha 1, with many months left until Release.

Development is progressing, and new updates will be uploaded as we proceed. To join in and provide feedback, check out the forum or the chat room. Progress updates, wallpapers, story chapters and more are available on our devlog.

We're utilizing Butler to reduce the update size of patches, so the Itch launcher might be useful. Gamepads are currently the best flight experience.

First Job walkthrough is on the forum

At the opening of the Age of Cygnus, a great era of commerce begins. Traders ply this vast frontier, transporting cargo between planetary systems, discovering markets, and establishing trade routes. Newly graduated from Trade Academy, you have the option to chart a career path among the stars. As a mix of space mariner, smuggler, or pirate, you collect the crew members, star maps, equipment, and contacts to succeed in the unforgiving void of space. Friends and foes are everywhere, and trust is often based on loyalty to profit.

Explore the Cygnus Galaxy in first and third person views as you pick up and deliver cargo, track down bounties, hunt and defend against pirates and privateers, and find or craft new parts. Customize, upgrade, and paint your ship to suit you.
There are over 100 solar systems full of opportunity out there to discover.

What are you waiting for?
