Is
Freedom.

Ashenex Interactive is a solo independent game studio. No team, no publisher, no safety net — just systems engineered to a standard that doesn't cut corners and games built to leave a mark.

Whatever we make, it gets made properly. Every mechanic earns its place. Every system is C++ from the ground up. We move at our own pace, from somewhere in the dark.

PC  ·  Steam  ·  Release TBD
Starbud Station is a co-op sci-fi shop management game set across floating island stations in space. Grow your product, manage inventory, and list items for sale through your ShopTerminal — customers only arrive once you open for business. Trade with visiting vendors, move stock between storage, run machines for production, and expand across multiple specialized island stations. Rent or purchase new islands and designate them for selling, production, storage, or mixed operations. Upgrade your station through a full tech tree and build out a thriving space dispensary. Designed for co-op from the ground up — fully replicated and server-authoritative in Unreal Engine 5.

Building the NPC Trader System — Archetypes, Schedules, and Dynamic Pricing
Traders in Starbud Station aren't random vendors. Each one has an archetype, a visit schedule, a market-aware inventory, and a price model influenced by your shop reputation. Here's the full C++ architecture.
