About
Everything is subjective
Below is our aim, and though we have a strong plan in mind, nothing is set in stone. We want to develop our game with our community and thus some features we list below may never make it into production!
We emphasize that this is a community involved game with the outlined framework below. If we find that our community has a strong distaste for a mechanic, we will revise it!
And we absolutely must reiterate, the outline below is OUR END GAME! We know how to get there, but need time, and we want you to enjoy the game as it grows while we do!
So, should all go as planned:
Explore
Explore a hopefully gigantic procedural universe, complete with flora, fauna, planets and stars that are all explorable.
The Legendary Crafting System
Our crafting system is beyond anything we can explain here.
Lets simply say that if you can dream it, you can most likely make it in game and use it to destroy enemies, or... help them... ?
The Phases
- At this point we have broken down the early access into 7 phases. We are uncertain how soon each phase will be implemented, however PHASE I will be released on March 1st, 2021:
- Each phase will have two major updates referred to as Parts.
Phase I – Part I
- Space One is a galaxy, toward which is a ship destined for a new galaxy following the destruction of earth.
You are one of the last surviving members of the human race, and were aboard the Space One Ascendant when it crashed just 1 light year from Space One.
After crash landing into the depths of a nitrogen-based oceanic planet, you must fight, explore, research, mine and craft your way out of this hellish wasteland, and back into space!
Phase I – Part II
- During this phase we will implement the ability to leave your underwater craft (after sufficient research of course) and venture into the nitrogen-based ocean to find additional resources, craft outposts, and discover hidden secrets and mysterious deep within the dark of the caverns and crevasses.
During this phase you will be able to start and complete the construction of the ship parts necessary to find your way back into space. However, until Phase 2, you will be limited to the initial system, and its planets and moons.
As more information about each phase becomes available, we will announce it in the announcements.
Construction and Expansion
Ship building
- Construct custom ships from a wide variety of classes and sizes
- Outfit your ships for combat, mining, transport, construction or logistics
- Customize your ships weapons, armor, modules, engines, shields and so much more
Space Station Building
- Construct custom space stations
- Outfit your space stations with the tools necessary to help your empire grow
- Inhabit planets
Construct buildings and outposts on planets you discover
- Discover unique animals, plants and resources, all of which can be used to help grow your empire.
- Tame large beasts to fight for you!
- Discover new minerals never found before and use them to construct unique components
Explore the vast universe
- Explore a procedurally generated universe with near infinite planets, stars, plants, animals, enemies, and so much more!
Battles, Bounties, Bosses and Combat
- From zombies, to aliens and angry alien animals, to other players (once we implement multiplayer), there will be no shortage of ways to die in Space One.
MiniGames
We have grafted the mini-games in Space One, so deeply into the core of the game, that you cannot play space one without also playing the mini Games.
For example, the culture tank, is one of the mini-games that helps you gather resources, develop new tech and upgrade your character in both the mini-game, and in the core game. Its a whole new approach to research and it will leave you looking for your other pair of pants!
Market and Trade
After the release our multiplayer update, which we estimate will be in phase 3, we will begin phase 4, which will be the development of our player drive marketplace. This marketplace will be available in game and on the web, and will be home to the vast creations of the space one universe.
Because our crafting system is so immense, there will be those who will spend a lot of time figuring it out, and will learn to create some truly crazy and epic weapons and items.
These are the kinds of weapons and items that will sell on the marketplace.
And we don't set the price for these weapons, you do. You may play for months to develop some of these weapons and items, so what they are worth, is up to you.
Phase 2 is devoted to the complete population of the crafting system, and we will slowly roll out micro updates with new weapons daily during phase II.
Character
- We have reinvented the wheel when it comes to humanity. You now control the power of machine and man all in one body.
When you first start out in space one, you are in a frail human body. Without giving away spoilers, lets just say, you can actually play the whole game as a human.
However, doing so, would deprive you of all the fun of being a “Flying Modular Space Super Droid with untold power, and so many possible upgrades that your mind would literally explode. And thus for you to be able to comprehend it, we recommend a brain transplant into a Tier 1 Model.
Don't worry. Very few people die during the transplant process!
