DESCRIPTION

Mankind has expanded its reach beyond the Sol System. Factions, mega-corporations and syndicates are locked in a political and economic strife. The inevitable destruction and decay of a colonized exoplanet is imminent.

beta decay is a voxel-based, dystopian RPG with a low-poly aesthetic. Build, trade, and fight for territory within the Alpha Centauri star system.

Live amongst the colonists as a citizen of the new frontier. Be an engineer, repairing shuttles in space, to a syndicate leader, executing raids deep within a labyrinthic neon city.

FEATURES

VOXEL MEGALOPOLIS

Beta Decay's VOXEL ENGINE allows for vast cityscapes and deformable planetary terrain. Delve deep into a labyrinthic city that is soaked with neon lights and dense crowds. Massive structures scrape the skylines that consist of Megatenements for housing and Megaplazas for corporate consortia.

DYSTOPIAN RETRO-STYLE

Mixing the old with the new. Re-live the LOW POLY aesthetic and core gameplay elements from the early 00's and late 90's. High tech, low life. Cybernetic enhancements and nanotechnology have become a commodity amongst the population.

PLAYER DRIVEN STAR SYSTEM AND ECONOMY

Trade products through physical shops on the streets to digital securities on the Centauri Exchange. Take on roles ranging from an engineer calibrating communication servers, to a faction leader executing territory raids on rival syndicates.

CONSTRUCTION AND STARSHIPS

Build spacecraft with complex sub-systems such as power grids, server networks, and life support systems to keep your crew alive in deep space. Players may go where they like, when they like, doing whatever they like.

ROGUE LIKE ALPHA-CEN

Death is permanent... However; only for the body as it is but a shell. The soul may live on through a new body or clone if a supplement exists. Eat, drink and sleep to keep your character alive. Practice caution and avoid unnecessary risks on foreign worlds where viruses, anomalies and creatures may reside.
