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

Leaving Early Access: 2028

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I decided to put Galactic Prospectors into Early Access to give players the opportunity to already play the game in the course of development. This allows me to see what gameplay elements and features could benefit from further development, and what possibly needs to be changed, so that I can adapt development according to community feedback and needs. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As this is a passion project that I work on in my free time, I would say 2 or 3 years to get it to the full-release state I envision.”

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

“I would like to have Multiplayer (both Peer 2 Peer/Lobby hosted, as well as Dedicated Servers), more advanced AI, quests, Steam Workshop to allow for extensive modding, PVP for those of you into that, and so many more features in this game once the full-release version rolls out.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Early Access version is what I would call Pre-Alpha. Current features include the ability to destroy Asteroids, which earn you (the player) money. Destroying enemy AI ships, which earns you Scrap. You can buy ships using Money and Scrap. The enemy AI will target both you, and Asteroids, and will also destroy Asteroids to get to you to try and destroy you. The game is built on it's own game engine (called Vyrex Engine), which has been created from scratch and is constantly expanding with every update. The game also has Steam Leaderboards integrated to allow for some competitiveness from other players in this early state, as well as some Steam Achievements.”

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

“I don't plan to increase the price during Early Access. Once the game rolls out into full-release, the price may increase, but as of right now I don't have any plans to increase the price. By buying this game, you're buying into an evolving project, getting forever free updates for it, and getting me a coffee or something so I can continue working on it until late hours of the night. ”

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

“I plan to involve the community in the development process via the website, Discord, and through Steam. I would love to collaborate with and integrate things from the community into the game as well.”

About This Game

Galactic Prospectors is a 2D Space Survival Sandbox set 200 years in the future when all planets in the solar system were destroyed by a rogue AI (you can play as the Rogue AI, or as a regular Astronaut out in the universe). Take on the universe against rogue AIs, other humans and other life forms, all while trying to stay alive. Even as an AI if you wish to play as such, you too must survive the harsh elements of Space. Resources are still needed, requiring you to build factories, upgrade and maintain your ships and stations, and to live.

Galactic Prospectors will have the following features upon release into Early Access:

Exploration: Explore the vastness of Space. Travel to new sectors. Upgrade ships, build space stations, conquer enemies & raid abandoned and enemy POIs. It's an infinite world!

Build & Craft: Build space stations from prefabs, or fully custom stations from building blocks, buy premade ships or generate, customize and build your own blueprint ships, and other things. Craft components from resources such as ores mined from Asteroids that have been refined into Ingots.

Steam Workshop: Upload your creations to the Steam Workshop - game comes with an SDK too for more advanced modding!

Combat: Survive in this world against humans, other rogue AI, aliens and more.

Durability & Health: All ships and stations have health. This means, bullets deal damage, colliding with space junk deals damage. Repair your ships and stations using components and resources, or build drones that repair things for you!

Currency & Shop System: Buy ships, special weapons and tools, and more. 

Multiplayer: A (currently experimental) multiplayer system is integrated into the game and is being worked on as the game progresses, so Multiplayer is there from the beginning!

Crew: Hire AI (Robots) or Human Crew to do things on your ships & stations. Humans need Food and Water, and morale is an important thing for both (alien astronauts coming soon)!

You can literally mold and configure your world as you wish! 

Your purchase entitles you to receive all future updates free of charge!
