Delos: Space Traffic Control

Je fais une pause de Elite Dangerous pour être gérant d'une station dans Delos. Pas grand chose à faire, 2 plateformes d'amarrage, 2 ressources à gérer. C'est très simple mais c'est un début qui laisse beaucoup de place à une tonne d'idées. Peut-être dans de futurs mise à jour : Gestion de l'énergie, de l'alimentation de la station, diverse ressources, commerces, plus d'emplacements d'amarrage, sécurisation de la station contre des pirates, etc. Il y a moyen de faire pas mal de choses ! On encourage le ou les devs !

It seemed like an interesting concept. No new updates in over a year. Currently there is no game to play, just an idea of a game.

So uh, I have done everything there is to do ...

If you like chill, space-themed idle clickers and you're into Tangerine Dream, this is 110% your jam.

no updates since april i'll change my rating when there will be a new one

Play the tutorial and you've played the entire game. It looks pretty enough but all you do is juggle resources and credits. You orbit what I assume is Mars. There are 2 jump gates. One that leads towards Earth and one that leads towards Phobos. Ships request to come in, you accept requests and assign them a landing pad. Left or right. There are 2 types of ships. Supply ships fill up the resources bar, commercial ships fill up the credit bar. You bring in ships and juggle the bars. That's it! Boring.

Bei diesem Spiel fehlt noch was. Der Nordpol Wegpunkt ist gar nicht zur Auswahl wodurch das Spiel gar nicht erfolgreich gespielt werden kann

Really cool idea, and fun execution. Highly recommend!

There's a whole super-genre of "doing a job, but fun" games that I love, and this one fits. Right away, the camera perspectives and mega-zoom capability drew me in. You aren't a disembodied god's-eye-view like the sim or tycoon games of the past; you're viewing the whole scene through cameras, switching between them for better views in different situations. Halo:Reach's campaign did this a lot. The stations, gates, and ships all have a grounded, plausible-sci-fi feel, and have lots of detail to admire while you wait for ships to shuffle around the yard. The flat panel interfaces are enhanced, once again, by a grounded feeling thanks to elements being tightly bound to moving objects, as if our cameras have systems to recognize and tag objects. At the time of writing, there is a small learning curve. I failed three runs early on, but did not take me long to feel like I would never make a mistake again, and that I had seen all there is to see. Even so, it's enjoyable and relaxing just directing traffic, keeping my resources and credits in balance, and trying to choose transfer requests carefully for the best prices, and to optimize traffic flow. If you can get both vessels to leave through the same gate, you can use the other gate to queue up the next pair of vessels. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to new challenges and new content from the developer. I'll be keeping my eye on this project, and glad that I got in for $3 this early. I hope they value their own efforts and increase the price commensurate with the maturity of the project.

A hidden gem with great potential Delos is a very enjoyable and refreshing experience. You play as a space traffic controller managing incoming and outgoing cargo ships at a small station. It’s a mix of logistics, time management, and strategy — but with a calm sci-fi vibe and just the right amount of pressure. You manage offers from various ships [spoiler] (buying or selling cargo) [/spoiler], decide where to land them [spoiler] (left or right pad) [/spoiler], and make sure they safely depart through the correct gate [spoiler] (Earth or Phobos) [/spoiler]. The core mechanic of avoiding incidents — like collisions or overfilling your storage — adds a nice layer of challenge without being stressful. Watching your cargo slowly drain like an hourglass adds a cool sense of real-time progression. There's even a jukebox tab with relaxing space music, which adds a lot to the atmosphere. It’s still a bit buggy (had a crash after ~25 minutes of play), but that’s to be expected in early development. The concept is strong, and I’m genuinely looking forward to more updates. Things I’d love to see in the future: Resizable UI windows or more flexible interface design. More cargo types (like medicine, food, fuel, etc.) with upgradeable storage. Missions or contracts to add long-term goals. Deeper station management or progression. If you enjoy simulation games that are chill but still require attention and smart decisions, give this one a try. The developer clearly has a vision here — and I’m excited to see where it goes.
