About the Game

Starvector is the ultimate power fantasy. Start with nothing and build your way towards total domination over the entire solar system, complete with planet-destroying capital ships all the way down to procedurally generated alien diseases.

Built in the custom VectorEngine, Starvector simulates everything from each bone and organ in your body to wars and trade over 8 massive spherical planets in a seamless fully explorable solar system. Manage your own health and safety while you build your way up from a crashed escape pod on a lonely planet. Craft unique items, build a base, automate resource collection, and explore the procedurally generated solar system in a large selection of spaceships.

Survival:

Starvector features a deeply simulated survival system where one mistake can cost you everything. The health system simulates your entire body, including organs, bones, muscles, etc. Injuries affect gameplay in real time, a broken bone will reduce movement speed, a laceration could become a serious infection.

Crafting and Building:

Craft a wide array of objects to advance towards total domination. You can fabricate everything from prosthetics and mechanical body enhancements to massive weapons. Build massive bases directly on the surface of planets, or build orbital space stations. Automate resource collection and build your empire.

Simulation:

Before you step foot in your first solar system, the game generates hundreds of years of history based off of procedurally generated factions. While you play, wars, trade conflicts, and politics are simulated across thousands of colonies within the solar system.

Exploration:

Explore eight fully procedural spherical planets with seamless space-to-surface transition. Each planet has over 100 million square meters of surface area. Planets are generated deterministically based off of a wide array of values such as temperature, moisture, orbit, etc and feature fully procedural unique biomes.

In Starvector, you aren't the main character, merely a traveler in a vast universe that doesn't care about you. Build your empire from the ground up, whether you choose trade, diplomacy, or violence, the story is yours to write.
