Roadmap

Here I show where the game stands. From top to bottom: what has already shipped, what I am building now and what comes next. I do not put dates on it: each part comes out when it is ready.

00 · Foundation

In progress · 1 item

This is the base of the game: your account, the app on your computer, with automatic updates, and the connection to the server. There is nothing to play yet, but everything else stands on it.

  1. Shipped · Players

    Email and password account

    You sign up with your email and confirm it with a code sent to your inbox, in your language. Password resets work the same way, and you stay signed in without logging in every time.

04 · Your company in the core

Up next · 9 items

You found a single company and start in a neutral core on the rim of the galaxy, with a settler's quota and time to learn. Every step toward the center takes longer and costs more, but the space there is richer and more dangerous.

  1. Up next · Players

    One company per person

    You have a single company, and it is your economic side of the game. The political side belongs to nations. Having more than one account is forbidden.

  2. Up next · Players

    Company identity

    Your company has a name, a ticker of 3 to 5 letters, a logo assembled in a parts editor and the public name of its CEO. The account behind it stays hidden.

  3. Up next · Players

    Only you run your company

    There are no delegated managers. Working with other players happens through contracts and nations.

  4. Up next · Players

    The settler's quota

    You start with a small base in the core, a cargo ship and basic materials. There is no money in the kit, because there is no universal currency to hand out.

  5. Up next · Players

    Three months in the core

    Your core base is a grant of about three months, always on a fertile world. When it ends, its buildings pack into a moving kit for your new home, in a nation's territory or out on the frontier.

  6. Up next · Players

    Newcomer protection

    Players can attack each other anywhere, but new companies are protected for about 30 days. Protection ends early if you attack someone or leave the core.

  7. Up next · Players

    Starting over

    A company that truly goes bankrupt can start over in the core with a smaller kit and short protection, and the wait to start over grows each time. Debts and contracts stay on record, and an unpaid debt keeps taking a share of the new company's revenue. Kit items cannot be sold for about 30 days.

  8. Up next · Players

    Vacation for your headquarters

    Give 24 to 48 hours' notice and your headquarters freezes, protected, for a minimum period. It cannot start during an attack and does not cover sovereignty or exchanges run by others.

  9. Up next · Players

    Learning without NPCs

    There are no tutorial characters. Everything is open from the start, with a guide of goals and the countdowns of your protection and your concession. Empty panels explain why they are empty.

08 · Community and premium

Up next · 1 item

This phase brings chat between players, reputation and the rules for free accounts and premium. A free account is permanent and lets you try everything. Premium is for those who want to grow bigger. After launch, you will also be able to get premium inside the game, through the premium token that players trade.

  1. Up next · Players

    Reputation as a record

    There is no single score. There is a public history of facts, such as contracts kept or broken, that anyone can read and judge.

What never changes

  • One server for the whole world.
  • An eternal universe: it never resets.
  • No NPCs: players run everything.
  • Panels, not cockpits: you never fly anything.
  • Continuous real time: the universe never stops.
  • Only humans, a fictional galaxy, the far future.

How this roadmap changes

With every new version I come back and update this page: things move from Up next to In progress and then to Shipped. When I change my mind about something, it changes here too. Whatever is marked Still thinking is something I have not decided yet.

Want in now?

The foundation is already live, and I am building the rest in the open, in front of whoever plays. Download the current version →
