Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access is an opportunity for us to involve the community in the development of MEANWHILE IN SECTOR 80. Player feedback is a crucial part of making a great game and ensures that we're making what players want. We are hoping to use the input and funding from Early Access to scale our team and produce more, better, content for players and create the best game we can.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are aiming to leave Early Access within two years. MEANWHILE IN SECTOR 80 is a large game that has occupied our hearts for a long time. We want to pack as much into the game as we can during Early Access and beyond.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Content! We're always adding more parts, enemies, and locations for players to visit. On the road to 1.0, we want to flesh out all six of the planets within the game's solar system. We have a story planned within the environment that is planned to be part of the game by the time we leave Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game's core physics simulation is complete and many core features are implemented. We have one playable planet and an introduction scenario that teaches players how to use the game's engineering systems. The planet is populated with several types of enemy and a variety of parts they can use to create equipment.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Price will increase during the course of Early Access until the full game is released.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have an active Discord community where we interact live with players as we're working on new features. Players are encouraged to share any ideas and feedback in the community. We periodically share unstable builds of the game to get early feedback on features while they're still very rough, giving players a chance to shape the game's mechanics from an early stage.”

About This Game

Scarred by a war that nobody remembers, SECTOR 80 is doomed space. Legends tell of a galaxy-spanning disaster and unfathomable treasure left in its wake. Many expeditions have been sent to SECTOR 80, but none have ever returned.

You are not supposed to be here. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Travel across the sector, scavenge what you can, and find out what really happened here.

Everything you find in SECTOR 80 is battered and abandoned. You must work with what you have: there are no fabricators, nano-scale 3D printers, or factories here.

Every part you find might be key to your next invention. A damaged battery might be a critical power source in a pinch, or perhaps an effective explosive in the right hands!

In MEANWHILE IN SECTOR 80, everything is a physical object with mass, heat, and stored energy. Solve puzzles, blast enemies apart, and optimize the power efficiency of your build to become unstoppable.

Long-term survival in the hostile system of SECTOR 80 is impossible. With no prospect of rescue, you are your only hope. You'll need both skill and creativity to solve the mystery of SECTOR 80 and live to tell the tale!
