Early Beta AccessThe Open-world Overhaul is now available on Steam!
Pick-up missions to receive rewards in the form of credits, ships modules and blueprints. Construct defences and base build, or go at it you own way by mining and trading. You’ll manage forces across multiple play areas all running realtime in a universe teaming with life.
An innovative ‘zone’ system lies at the heart of what we’ve dubbed the ‘Open-world Overhaul’ and through it NPC traffic will trade, mine and fight just as you do.
How far along are you?At this stage, Shallow Space can be described more as the framework for a game rather than a game itself.
You can still have a lot of fun with it, but the Alpha is presently focused around the adding and tweaking of mechanics, bug fixes and gathering feedback. True representative gameplay isn’t far off but it’s not here yet.
There’s still enough to enjoy but as with any Early Access game – you should have a flick through the updates (noting the frequency) and take a peak at the forums to see what you’re supporting. Thanks!
