Missions
Missions will vary between search and rescue missions to sabotage, diplomacy, and ethical dilemmas. Players will enjoy a wide variety of planet types and environments.
Research
Players will acquire different technology and samples that will need to be researched. These opportunities will provide benefits in a variety of ways along with real story benefits/consequences.
Gathering
Players will travel to distant worlds and a variety of environments and discover relics, technology, and biological finds to research and analyze to provide improvements to the player. With a surveyor you will gather specimen and other items of interest to bring back to the ship/station for analysis.
Choices Matter
We want to create a game where YOUR choice plays an important role in the story. Everything from ship improvements to ethical dilemmas.
Base Building
Players will be able to upgrade and expand their personal spaceship and spaces station. These will play vital role in research and development as well as storage and much more.
Space station: This includes expanding living quarters, recreational facilities, storage facilities and more.
Spaceship: This includes upgrading armor/weapons, adding armaments, scanners, plus upgrading size (i.e. going from a corvette to destroyer).
NSFW material
All NSFW material will be optional and 100% avoidable. The game will have 2 forms first being Harem mode where the player will be able to create their own “adventure.” The second is cut scenes and this is through the main story you will have the option of romancing certain main characters. These will be initially censored but will have the option of being uncensored. Harem mode will be exclusive to the space station. The game is mostly a Yuri/lesbian story; however, male NPC’s will be added later. For now we plan to focus on female/female interaction as this allows us to double down on these types of animations.
*Note*
This will not be the focus of the game, if you are not interested in the NSFW material the game is standalone without it. This is not a Porn game in a traditional sense in that the NSFW is something that is added as a feature and not the entirety of the game. We will have 2 versions of the game (Mature version and an Adult version).
