The Next Evolution of the survival MMORPG!
Modeling the human experience in a society. This game isn't just about you and your journey, it's about how all players progress technology, society, and infrastructure in a virtual environment, together.
Effectively Infinite Completely Seamless Game World
Twitch-based Gameplay
Voidspace aims to finally bring a limitless multiplayer experience. No "zones" or seams of any kind, just one enormous game world; everyone is playing together in the same server. Discover other player outposts and possibly join another group in order to maintain your own security. Find ancient abandoned player-made civilizations that you can research and study, acquire, or disassemble and recycle.
Invention and crafting shapes the world
Players create the game world through the natural progression of technology and society. This means the game will change significantly over time. Players will gain control over areas of space and will benefit from keeping those areas policed and safe for people to conduct their business.

Get an idea and prototype it to make it a skill
New ideas come to a character automatically, but they can be focused and accelerated through the use of a research facility or lab. Invent weapons, special equipment with special abilities, base modules, ships, and ammunition.
Generally everything is made by players
Since there are no NPCs, there is also no supporting infrastructure in Voidspace. Players will need to create their own infrastructure in order to facilitate their own growth and progression in the game.
You make your own routes
Parts of the game world will have higher concentrations of certain raw resources than others. Mine and collect these resources and travel to distant parts of the game world to sell your goods at a premium.
The only limit is your imagination
Because there are no NPCs in the game, anything that the player needs to progress in the game must be provided by another player, or himself.
Combat is skill based, but it's not the focus of the game
Combat is done in real-time, similar to that of an arcade game. You control your ship, choose what weapons to fire, and try to avoid your opponent's shots.
Mine asteroids for raw materials
Start with a makeshift pickaxe that you made from scraps, advance your mining technology until you have full mining rigs capable of mining for you while you're offline.
Collect and store fuel
You will need lots of rocket fuel for your expeditions. Either collect gas from gas clouds or make rocket fuel with a bit of chemistry.
Grow crops for food
In order for your character to perform their best, they'll need to eat, and eat well. A scientist can't work on an empty stomach.
Build and manage your energy
Much of the equipment and tools you will be inventing are powered so you'll have to ensure you have enough of it.
Become a hub for other players
Build an outpost that other players actually need. Players could use your facilities for safety, trade, research, schooling, refueling - the possibilities are endless.
Game World
Voidspace takes place in The Void, which is an area of space the player's character has been unwittingly catapulted into via a network of wormholes that exist in the universe. Characters cannot escape it and are forced to live among each other in The Void, fighting for the few available resources that manage to find their way into this desolate place through the wormholes.
The Void is also a place where the very physical nature of the universe is somehow different. The most obvious difference when you enter The Void is the drag your ship experiences as it moves about.
Explore
Upon arrival, you will find that The Void is not as empty as its name suggests. The wormholes have filled it with asteroids, gases, wreckage from civilizations, and even other players.
Character Design
All players enter The Void through a wormhole and in a ship. You will generally start with only the basics. Your character is actually a person inside the ship and you can exit your ship and enter another.
