DEEP BLACK

In development · build 0.8.11 · Frontier server live

You are a deserter.
The galaxy belongs to
something that does not forgive.

A multiplayer space-survival sandbox in a procedurally generated galaxy ruled by two machine governments. Salvage, mine, craft, and build hidden bases in the deep void. Every ship you fly can be lost, every base can be found.

Free while it's early. Unzip, run, create a pilot, and watch the sky.

Spawn with nothing.

Scrape together a ship, build a base, and decide what kind of spacer you are — trader, builder, pirate, or the reason someone else logs off angry. Everything is persistent, everything is at stake, and nobody is coming to save you.

Your first jump out of the nursery brands you a deserter, and it never washes off. The Authority notices everything you do. The Nostoi are worse, and they were us.

From the current build

Running, not mocked up. Ship and station models are still placeholder.

Bug reports get fixed in days, sometimes hours. The Discord is where devlogs land, playtests get organised, and the arguments that decide what gets built next happen.
