How to Play
There is currently no tutorial, so the game may feel a bit confusing at first. Here are the basics:

• Click on the image at the top left to choose your destination

• Visit the market of a planet, find cheap goods, and check the galactic market

• The higher the demand, the more they will pay—but a low demand doesn’t always mean cheap prices

Current Development State
Now in v0.3.0, Astronaire continues to expand with interactive planetary utilities, ship upgrades, smarter AI, and visual enhancements. While still in early development, the core gameplay is functional, and regular updates will continue to build on the foundation.

Roadmap

• More AI refinements (personalities and strategies)

• Expanded events system

• Additional ships

• Add a story (it exists, just not implemented yet)

• Improve visuals, audio, and UI optimization

Join the adventure—trade smart, explore boldly, and don’t let the crew mutiny.
