Project Overview
While Astroneer was still in pre-alpha (pre-release) we were asked to join the production to be part of a multiple page advertising promotion for growing community awareness on the game, both with and for the community, to take the idea of space exploration in a game to the next level creatively and functionally.
We were not only able to do some amazing work on the project but also be immeasurably inspired ourselves by the creative output that the development team worked together to produce.
Content Creation
As official partners with the developers, we provided a large scale outlet for the community, contributing in-depth guides, game interactions, character stat sheets, data on items, detailed material on locations, afflictions and more.
Community Growth
Once we provided the extensive backbone, we opened it to the community to get involved, engaged and on board; providing their own unique resources on interactions, some of which has been included for players in the game.
UX / UI
In addition we designed layouts, templates and patterns which made for a smooth and polished interface and user experience, making it simple for navigation and interaction around the massive database of content.

Additionally the interest and growth of the site spawned 9 different translations, with excited fans, building their own local community versions of the site in their own language, producing a combined 1 million users and 15 million unique page views in the last year and a half.
