The beta decay database functions as a repository of information where you may find additional details and guides about the game. The database is very much work in progress!

Yes. The outfits and equipment have a functional purpose besides the visual aesthetic. For example: gasmasks may be worn to prevent infection, and certain outfits provide protection against projectiles, or radiation.

No. Beyond starting the game, or joining a new server, there are no loading screens or plans to have loading screens.

No. Any skill based actions in the game are based on user knowledge and input.

The draft OST tracks are listed on YouTube (Linked Below). It's likely that all music will be remastered at a later date and be distributed on a platform separately. Alpha OST Playlist

Yes. The terrain is deformable, and much of the foliage and ruins of buildings are able to be destroyed. Not everything is destructable.

The game looks exactly like it's supposed to.

Polygon counts are not the only factor that dictate the level of performance. For beta decay, the bulk of processing time goes into the AI logic, animations, entity component systems, and several other management systems.

Yes, go for it!

Players may own designated homes/apartments. More dynamically, players may also survive aboard a spacecraft or a mining camp for several days, assuming they have the rations to sustain life.

Yes, it is possible for your character to permanently die. However, clones may be purchased as an insurance policy to prolong your existence.

Initial versions of the game will be in English. Further languages will be looked into post 1.0.

No.

Weapon customization exists at a base level, and is planned to fully arrive later during Early Access. This includes silencers and scopes. Note that this is not priority or main focus of the game.

Players will be able to travel on foot, or via MCV, spacecraft, and smaller vehicles such as trucks and vans.

This feature is very likely to arrive throughout Early Access or Post 1.0. The scope of customization involves the interchanging of core components, such as legs, torso, weaponry.

Yes.

Action RPG. The goal is to provide a platform of fun features and mechanics in a foreign setting that enables imagination.

In comparison to some of the mainstream titles, the poly counts of beta decay are relatively low, but way higher in regards to classic 90's - early 2000's titles. Amongst other effects, this balance yields a mixture of old and new. The main nostalgic factor that is most likely referred to is the near texture filtering and low scaled resolution which results in pixelation. This is a design choice to enhance the grittiness of the game world.

The visual goal is not to replicate what has been done before. Everything has an influence and is derived from something else - the game aims to produce a combination that yields something new and unique.

There have been several design considerations and changes around the usage of Voxels for different aspects of the game. Certain game functions do leverage a voxel tech. For example, the planetary terrain is set to be voxel based. Previous elements such as buildings, are no longer voxel based.

Space travel and construction are features that will arrive later during Early Access.

A mix of C++ and visual scripting.

Yes. Players may hire on an NPC companions and issue orders via a command system.
