I'm the developer of UNION.
I posted this on the bridgesims subreddit earlier today, I think it sums up what UNION is about.
What sets it apart from other bridge sims, like Artemis or Quintet (which are great btw, UNION was inspired by Artemis), is that the focus with UNION is on making each station a complete experience in it's own right. I do that by simulating the ship and it's systems in a much deeper way. That could make a game very complex, but I've put a lot of time and energy into making sure that the each station UI is intuitive and fun.
If each station stands on it's own as an experience, then playing them with friends will make it awesome.
I also put a lot of focus on quality, especially in regards to the quality and stability of the game (in all my playtesting with friends it has never crashed and the networking is very stable).
The only UI I have ready to show is Engineering (http://media.indiedb.com/images/games/1/21/20211/Engineering_-_Energy_Management_V900.png). I am currently coding the actual functionality for it and I hope to have a video demonstrating that in about a month.
It is only myself working on the game at the moment, so it is taking a lot of time (two years part time so far) but I am an experienced developer with the skills and determination to see it through to completion.
If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

We have spent a massive amount of energy on the architecture and base design and simulation elements of the game, and are now building the UI on top of that, starting with Engineering.
I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions on what we are doing.
