Astro Emporia is a simple turn based strategy where your objective is to make as much money in a limited amount of turns. The game is designed to play a game in a few minutes which at the end you will get a high score. While the amount you buy and sell for and the resource availability is randomised each time you visit a planet, there are tactics that enable you to increase your chances at getting a profit. The initial release will let you compete against your own high scores. New modes and online scores are planned for future releases. Also available on Google Play Store.
Astro Emporia has now been released on steam.
The release has included steam trading cards.
For anyone that had purchased the game from a bundle at some point the respective bundle sights have been notified and keys are being organised for them now.
Thanks to all those who voted and supported the game.
Cheers,

Astro emporia version 1.2 release and more information about the future work to be done.
Astro Emporia coming to Mac and Android soon and some upcoming features info.
What's next for Astro Emporia? Features destined for the future.
Just another update. The update is coming along. Most of the game has been re-factored and the new interface is currently being implemented. A news article will be posted in the future with new media displaying the changes so a chance for feedback can be given before the update is released.
Thanks for waiting.
Hi all.
Just wanted to give an update with some of the things in development.
- New Interface. The current interface is going to be replaced with something that should be easier and quicker to navigate.
- New models for ships and different method of upgrade. Upgrading wont happen by adding containers but by buying larger ships.
- Selecting a planet to travel to will only take a single click now.
- Resource types will be indicated via icons instead of text. Should make it faster to identify.
- Planets will always have type and what they are seeking visible. No need to search for info.
A pretty big re-write to the code to make it faster and more efficient.
Finally after about 2 months moving work can resume on Astro Emporia.
Hey just brought this thanks for supporting Linux, I am looking forward to future updates :D
Also something you may want to look into is I had to install "ttf-ms-fonts" to get the text to show. Try switching to an open font :D
Thanks for the heads up. I will change the fonts in the next release. Still in the process of moving so will be a little while before I can get the next update out.
Thanks a heap for buying it and all my deskrop games will be available for Linux.
Hi All,
Been working on new interface and extra features but will have to stop working on it for a short while while I move interstate. When I get settled I will post some updates.
Cheers,

Thanks for supporting Linux <3
No Problem. I probably spend more time in Linux then Windows. I also plan on making more Linux games down the track. (After I add more features to this game.)
i used to use windows, then it just started ******* me off on everything i did :P
Yeah. Since I use multiple platforms I try and do stuff on all of them. But I live in linux for my day job and I love it.
Excellent, let me know when more games come out, already gave you a shout out on www.gamingonlinux.com :)
