Vad utvecklarna har att säga:

Varför Early Access?

“Currently the game's core systems are complete and functioning, but there is still much to do in the next year before Early Access launch.

Some of the characters seen in the screenshots and trailer are placeholder assets, but these will be replaced by the time of Early Access launch. I have the base character models created, but no armor and or clothing sets have been completed at this time.

As well, among the six story planets in the game, fivewill be completed by Early Access release with the final climax planet to be completed after launch.

As well, I’m really looking forward to player feedback with Sector Unknown. With my previous full game launches, despite efforts to eliminate bugs pre-launch, I often found myself frantically addressing post-launch issues, sometimes rolling out six or seven updates a day. Opting for Early Access this time allows for a less frenetic pace in debugging, testing, and community engagement, ultimately resulting in a polished game.

Building a cRPG is a massive undertaking, especially coming from a background in strategy games. As someone passionate about narratives and a fan of RPGs though (my favorite genre), I'm thrilled to be working on a story-driven RPG for the first time!”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Approximately 6-8 months.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“Early access will only have three of the planned six planets in the game. As well, the combat and other systems will continually be improved with player feedback.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The current state is the game is nearly feature complete and is being populated with story. Upon Early Access launch, approximately 90% the story will be complete and all features will be in place. There will be adjustments and bugs to fix, but the intent is to have Early Access as polished as possible with 15-20 hours of gameplay.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“Pricing will remain the same for Early Access and full release.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“I aim to gather feedback from players and the community during the Early Access phase to develop a game that resonates with the broadest possible audience of cRPG and sci-fi enthusiasts at its full launch.”

Om detta spel

Sector Unknown is an immersive isometric RPG that draws inspiration from classics like Fallout 2, Knights of the Old Republic, Fallout: New Vegas, as well as more modern titles such as Wasteland 3, Encased, Colony Ship, Trudograd, and Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

Every decision, every nuance in character development has tangible consequences. While combat is a viable approach, the game equally emphasizes alternative strategies for progression, inviting players to leverage their character's unique abilities to navigate through the narrative creatively and diplomatically.

Story

In Sector Unknown, your saga begins as a prisoner aboard a transport ship from which you escape in a commandeered escape pod, crash-landing on Maku, a forsaken world veiled within a remote and uncharted region of space. This planet becomes the foundation of your odyssey as you convert it into a stronghold and base of operations. From there, you will set forth into space, exploring distinct worlds and locations, each teeming with its own factions and unique stories.

In your quest, you will confront the shadowy dealings of Star Frontier, the powerful trading and mining that once imprisoned you. Operating unchecked in the hidden 'null sector'—now erased from all official star charts—Star Frontier has established a tyrannical reign of terror and destruction. Your mission becomes to unite the sector's backwater and forsaken planets, through either force or diplomacy, and overthrow their oppressive rule once and for all.

Sector Unknown weaves themes of exploration, discovery, conflict and greed, crafting an epic tale of adventure and rebellion in the boundless expanse of space.

Character Building

Before you begin your journey in Sector Unknown, you will first need to build your character, including their origin and personality. The origin selection offers both combat and non-combat advantages that deeply influence gameplay dynamics, including unlocking dialogue options and allowing for world interactions. The personality trait also augments one combat and non-combat ability.

Your character’s physical attributes will determine their combat efficacy and survivability. There are six main physical attributes: Strength, Coordination, Vision, Speed, Aggression, and Intelligence.

You can also hone a range of non-combat skills as well such as Engineering, Science, Computers, Biology, Finances, and Piloting. Non-technical skills include Intimidation, Persuasion, Perception, Luck, and Larceny. Each skill offers players an avenue to navigate story challenges, ensuring a multi-dimensional gameplay experience.

Planets

Throughout the main narrative of Sector Unknown, you will traverse a spectrum of unique planets, each with distinct factions and individual story arcs:

  • Maku: A desolate, lifeless planet where your journey begins, setting the stage for the vast unknown ahead.

  • Nabi: A harsh desert planet where two groups, stranded after a crash, battle each other for survival amidst the endless sands.

  • Eremtera: A frozen world encased in ice, harboring a long-abandoned arc ship—and a dangerous bioweapon still lurking within.

  • Helfyr: A volcanic world teeming with lava and fire, where a mysterious cult rises after the first child in a century is born amid the chaos.

  • Sjo: Once a thriving oceanic outpost, now abandoned to lawlessness and disorder, its waves conceal secrets and dangers alike.

  • Xenobiota: The final destination—a mysterious planet filled with secrets and untold revelations, waiting for those bold enough to explore.

Each location promises a distinct environment and set of challenges that contribute to the rich tapestry of the game’s universe.

Bounty Hunting

Your base will of course serve as a nexus for other activities as well, one of which will be the building of a bounty terminal, allowing you to pick up death mark contracts. With these contracts, you will track down elusive criminals or hunt rogue alien mega-fauna causing unrest across the various planets, with more perilous and rewarding bounty contracts unlocked through the research system.

Research

The research system in Sector Unknown is built upon the non-combat technical skills of your character. Take Biology for example: its research tree unfolds uniquely, unlocking components based on your character's skill level in that area. Similarly, Computers, Science, Engineering, Finances, and Piloting each come with their own distinct trees. These branches not only offer enhancements, bonuses, and unlocks but also underline the importance of your character’s skill increases and leveling choices.

War Score

The uprising itself will be undertaken on a galactic scale, adding a strategic layer to the game. As you progress through the story, you will bring new planets and factions into their alliance, expanding both your influence and reach. However, with each new planet added to your coalition, the stakes rise, thrusting them deeper into conflict with Star Frontier. Meeting this growing challenge requires reinforcing newly acquired planets, recruiting specialized support staff, building formidable fleets, and tackling pivotal side missions. The culmination of these efforts is reflected in your War Score. This score not only contributes to your character’s destiny but also that of the planets under your control as well.

Crafting

After claiming the abandoned mining facility on Maku as your base, you will be able to do many things from there, including crafting, enabling the forging of weapons, armor, shield generators, narcotics, injectors, and even starships. The crafting system boasts a rich matrix of over fifty organic and inorganic materials, encompassing everything from metals and inert gases to chemicals, fungi, and various flora. Successful component combinations yield superior items, tipping both combat and non-combat scenarios distinctly in your favor.

Your Story

In Sector Unknown, every choice you make shapes your journey. As you traverse through null sector, your interactions with characters and factions on each planet will uniquely influence the narrative. Your decisions determine not only the outcome of each planetary story arc but also the fate of the entire sector. From forging alliances to making tough moral choices, your path is yours to define. Whether through diplomacy, strategy, or combat, your story will unfold in a way that reflects your personal play-style and decisions, culminating in a truly bespoke gaming experience where you are the architect of your destiny.
