Spacelines from the Far Out is a co-op management game about running an airline in space. The game features unlockable spaceships, upgrades, characters, customizations, randomly-generated challenges, as well as trips and itineraries. There's even a generous serving of 60s space-age flair and jazz.
With the Trip Generator, players are guaranteed that they'll never fly the same trip twice. This is a system that creates a fresh campaign by having unique sets of routes, destinations, space hazards, ship emergencies, and passenger events. Meanwhile, the Director AI monitors the progress and performance of players through each trip and controls the game dynamically in real-time. This allows for a seamless transition from single-player to multiplayer.
By successfully completing flights, players can find lost parcels containing tons of unlockables for their company. These include spaceline customizations like logos and color schemes, skins for the ships, and new species of playable characters.
