✦ AN UNREASONABLY AMBITIOUS SPACE SANDBOX
Your backyard.
The entire
universe.
Build rockets. Embrace the chaos.
Bring B.O.L.T.
01 / WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM
AMBITION: ORBITALBUDGET: BACKYARD
A giant leap.
A very small
starting point.
You have a backyard, a big idea, and a robot who probably knows better.
Backyard Space Program is a low-poly space sandbox about building your way into the unknown. Take on contracts, piece together your next rocket, and turn yesterday’s spectacular failure into tomorrow’s slightly better plan.
The program is still taking shape. Here’s the experience we’re building.
ART DIRECTION / CONCEPT ARTYOUR NEXT GREAT IDEA
Some assembly.
Lots of ambition.
Choose your rocket parts and make something you’re willing to sit on top of. Every launch starts with a plan. The good ones even have enough fuel.
BUILD → LAUNCH → RECOVER → REPEAT02 / YOU’RE NOT GOING ALONE
Meet B.O.L.T.
Your most
opinionated crewmate.
Your own robot companion. Part co-pilot, part operations manager, part witness to your questionable decisions.
B.O.L.T. is at the heart of the program—from your first backyard launch to the dream of managing a fleet. As the world gets bigger, so does the question of what’s going on behind those eyes.
“I have calculated the odds.
Would you prefer encouragement?”
03 / THE FLIGHT PLAN
THE VISION AHEADThe backyard
is just the beginning.
Handcrafted destinations. Bigger ambitions.
A reason to make the next launch count.
WHERE IT ALL STARTS
Home is where
the launchpad is.
A neighborhood, a workshop, and a launchpad with suspiciously little distance between them. This is where small contracts become big ideas.
Planned progression. Features and scope may change during development.
