Show HN: Thorium Nova – Starship Bridge Simulator Game

Hey everyone,

I’m the developer of Thorium, a little-known bridge simulator that’s primarily used for school field trips out in Utah. I think the time has come for something different though. I call it Thorium Nova.

It will be centered around the 3D star map and an internal ship map, and will have a focus on narrative rather than just action. Instead of just simulating what’s going on outside of your ship, the crew that live on your ship will affect how ships systems operate. It will also feature prominent Flight Director (game master) controls to facilitate more engaged storytelling.

If you are at all interested in what’s coming for Thorium Nova and want to learn more, follow this link and sign up for the newsletter. The number of newsletter signups will help me know how many people are interested in the project, so share it with your friends.
