Early Access Release
This is a voxel based action/adventure (Sci-Fi!) game about digging, discovering, designing, deploying, and defending. You can travel to the planets of other players and trade and sell their fabrications. Fabrications are custom objects that can be created in-game by players, using the materials harvested from their planet. The first chapter of the story is in the form of a tutorial. If you rush through and don’t stop to smell the roses or explore, there’s about 25-30 minutes of playable story in the game right now. After, you're dropped straight into sandbox mode where you can explore your planet. This is also where you can dig and create (though a major component of creating is also found in the Fabricator). Because of the technical challenges involved with setting up procedural terrains otherwise, most voxel based games offer only either completely cubed geometry or completely rounded geometry. Metaverse, being a simulation from the future, has cracked the code, and is able to beautifully combine the two in a way that makes logical sense! The procedurally generated planet that currently ships is 300 Km in diameter, which is indeed very big. If you were to run in a straight line without stopping, we estimate it would take you about 28 hours to completely circle the planet. In the Fabricator, you can process the raw resources you've collected from your planet into refined materials. Using these refined materials in the Simulation mode of the Fabricator, you can create just about anything you want. And as long as you've got enough refined resources for the elements you’ve used, you can fabricate it into an actual object that can be taken outside to your planet and deployed. Elements in the fabricator are based on real periodic table elements, and have accurate densities. So if you make the walls of your base out of titanium, they're going to be significantly stronger than if you had made them with clay. |
