DEVELOPER TOOLS

To help you create the most innovative and challenging games played in zero and micro-gravity.

Today, there are two “technically operable” playing fields — zero gravity planes and the International Space Station.  Someday, we’ll be able to include asteroids, the Moon, and even Mars as viable playing fields.

We encourage you to let your imagination run wild when designing your game — the sky truly is the limit! If your vision is to combine virtual or augmented reality with real-life play, go for it. If your game requires objects that don’t even exist yet, feel free to invent them, too.

We call the new Zero Gravity Player the Astrolete ™ combining an astronaut and an athlete on a equal playing field of Zero/MicroGravity Equal Space ™

We will continue to add to the Developer Tools section to help you develop your game. Check out the Tools from our Sponsors, Sample Game Submission #Energy, as well as the growing SGF Developer Stock Footage to enhance your vision, the FAQs for some additional pointers, and if you don’t see your question answered, feel free to reach out. We’ll try and get all the right answers from one of our friends at NASA, our sponsor partners, or any of our other friends who have experience with zero gravity.
