I remember a couple years ago asking "why isn't there a sims game in space? only space RTS and fleet management". And then there's this game, which is the only game who fit my standard of what a "sims game in space" is.

I am truly in love with this game and it actually made me teary-eyed after reading up more on what happened with the dev team.

The game has so much potential and already had a lot of content decked for the coming updates before everything went bad. The game's system is already robust and the only thing messing it up right now is the unfinished UI, bugs, and overall cut content. If they were given maybe just another 6 months, JLO would have been 100x better than what it is right now.

It would probably take years for LoG to pick up on JLO, or some other studio will come up with something similar. But I still have hopes that one day, we get to see the v1.0

A game I often return to with hopes that they will find the investors needed to continue the game. Everyday I look through my steam list on what game I want to play, and every time I see Jumplight Odyssey, I am filled with excitement but depression. Its unfortunate that the game most likely wont be finished, but I will continue to support the development in anyway possible.
Other than the few bugs, I still find the experience fulfilling, and just seeing a breathing crew, and the custimizable ship is on a complete different level than other games.

Really great game and feels complete! The starship management is just amazing, feels like playing an anime Star Trek. It's a bit bugged due to Early Access and some minor missing features, but overal it just feels like a finished game. The game sadly won't be finished by the devs, but if this is your jam, just play it as is, because it's super fun in its current state!
