No. The game is presented as a single world sandbox.

Throughout Early Access, it is likely that time will be dedicated to get things working on MacOS. The capabilities to build on MacOS are there, it's just a matter of dedicating time to get the game running on other platforms. Initial versions of the game during Early Access will be released on Windows.

beta decay contains elements of a Role-Playing game (RPG). The game's core premise allows players to assume roles that fit their play style and interest. For example, if you would like to become an engineer, you may craft or purchase welding equipment, then take on repair contracts to earn some funds. Perhaps afterwards, you decide to register your own welding company and obtain better equipment with your own branded emblem. While there is no hard set, linear storyline, the world is rich and bountiful with lore and clues on the evolution of existence. These may be observed through company names, locations, the nature of items, and more. Provided below are several game features that promote role play: Character Customization: Name Hair Face Skin Color Hair Color Weight Height Male/Female Character Stats: Health Stamina BioEnergy Thirst Hunger Restroom Hygiene Mental Overall Wellness Character Conditions (Such as injury and illness) Character Outfits and Equipment Property Ownership and Furnishing Allegiance Systems Contract work and more!

Feel free to donate here   if you simply would like to support the game. Which is very much appreciated!!  Currently, there are no rewards listed for Patreon membership tiers. Previously, for a limited time period, a Patreon reward existed within the 'Division Director' tier that rewarded a copy of the game on release. A key will be requested and provided to those who had previously supported to this tier! Please be aware that this reward no longer exists. Additionally, for the passionate crowdfunders that supported $50 or more and were outside of the 'Division Director Tier' before Feb 2025, a key will also be requested and provided. (As rewards no longer existed past this point) - Note that there is a limit to the number of Steam keys that can be requested. Overall, the goal is to follow Steam's guidelines while giving back to crowdfunders. I would like to again thank everyone for the continued support and having such a strong an interest in the game!

Currently, there are no plans to release a demo (however, this may change). If there is a demo, it will not arrive until after the game is released.

Currently, the playtest of the legacy pre-alpha build is no longer active on Steam. There are plans to conduct another playtest with the new networked build with the primary focus of testing core networking elements. More information will be communicated when this build is nearing a ready-to test state. A reminder - The objective of the pre-alpha/alpha programs is to deliver and improve early versions of the game in a phased base approach. Each phase includes a limited scope of playable game features over a specified duration of time.

In attempt to consolidate, provide ease of access, and create a more centralized community to manage, the primary fanbase/hub for communication may be found in the beta decay Discord Server . The website forums are no longer active.
