What is Mechanical Technology? Raw Materials, Logistics, Automation. What is Magical Technology? Magic, Attributes, Incantations. Oil and water don’t mix easily, and neither do mechanics and magic. To fuse these two technologies, one must start by breaking them down into even finer parts.

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?

“As the second game from our studio, XingHeDeYveYan differs in genre from our first title. It encompasses significantly more content, and we need to gather feedback to ensure the quality and improve upon the yet-to-be-released elements, making future updates both reasonable and engaging.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Based on the currently planned content, we anticipate the Early Access phase to last between six months to a year. Of course, this timeline might see minor adjustments depending on the evolution of the update schedule.”

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

“As outlined in the game's description, we're currently exploring the possibility of implementing these new concepts in the full version - which could include additional enemy types, capital ships as enemy flagships, ship modification features, player-owned habitats, functional upgrades for carriers and habitats, player-assembled ships, and other potential features. (And perhaps even more, if development goes well!)”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“While the current development progress is still in its early stages, a playable demo will be available for download within a few days (chances are, it's already available by the time you read this). The demo will give you a good idea of the game's current state of development.
In the current version, players can normally travel to all star systems on the map, mine resources and automate the production of all items, acquire all available ships and modules, and fully experience spellcraft up to the fifth circle.”

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

“The current plan is to keep the price unchanged after the Early Access period concludes.”

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

“We highly encourage and welcome players to share your thoughts and impressions in the community forums. We will actively monitor and collect your feedback, using these valuable insights during the development of new content to make adjustments and enhance the overall fun of the game.”

About This Game

XingHeDeYveYan is a pixel-art 2D top-down tactical RPG. Players can choose and pilot their favorite ships across randomly generated starfields, process collected resources via automated production lines in the carrier’s factory, and use crafted items to upgrade their ships. Alternatively, they can devote effort to honing the power of accompanying spellcasters, combining basic magic words into complete incantations to channel devastating magical forces against enemies through spoken rites. Of course, being a free merchant traveling between different star systems is also a fine choice.

All Kinds of Ships!

The game features three ship types: Fighters, Gunboats, and Frigates. Every ship is randomly generated, with performance varying from combat-oriented to transport-focused—whether it’s obliterating foes with a main cannon or swarming enemies with drone fleets, vastly different capabilities ensure distinct gameplay styles. Generally, smaller ships are more agile, while larger ones are slower but pack heavier firepower and tougher defenses.

Each star system offers different ships, so finding the perfect vessel may be a long journey.

Automated Factories with Logistics Pods!

Microgravity industrial environments can’t use traditional conveyor belts, giving rise to a new automated manufacturing system reliant on drones and logistics pods. With seven types of specialized logistics pods, automated production lines in microgravity factories demonstrate the formidable power of mechanical technology, processing eight types of mineral resources into finished products for ships and habitats.

Build Your Own Star Habitats!

As key facilities for human survival in space, habitats provide all essential functions. From residential zones and engineering sectors to ecological blocks and commercial districts, their modular design—similar to that of ships—allows you to freely expand with different modules. With more workspace and storage capacity than a carrier, these habitats can take automated production to the next level. Research new technologies, construct various modules, and step by step, develop your habitat into one of the most prominent metropolises in the cosmos!

Spellcraft Starting with Words!

Spellcasters from another world can still wield incredible magic in this one. They assemble incantations from lexical components with basic functions—channeling energy into the spell, imbuing it with attributes, shaping magical energy into projectiles, and launching them at distant targets. The precise sequence is key to effective spellcasting. Just like speech, incoherent or self-contradictory phrases are meaningless.

As for the numerical limits in spell structures… doesn’t that feel vaguely familiar? Or is it just déjà vu?

Galaxy-Spanning Logistics Networks!

Most habitats have their own industries, requiring specific raw materials and selling produced goods. Some products are raw materials for further manufacturing, while others are equipment for ship modules. Transporting goods to where they’re needed is the logistics system that all mechanical civilizations rely on—always in demand, always profitable.

About the Current Version

This is an early access version and may contain numerous bugs. If you encounter any issues, please report them to us. We kindly ask for your understanding and will address them as quickly as possible.

Future Updates

The game is planned to launch in Early Access, with gradual updates adding more content—such as non-human cosmic entities and hostile machine intelligences, partial custom ship module modifications, player-owned habitats and their construction, technological upgrades for habitats and carriers, faction flagship-class capital ships as enemies, full carrier customization and player-driven shipbuilding, new ship modules integrating magical technology, new magic words inspired by mechanical technology, mysterious facilities hidden in deep space, and that elusive entity shrouded in rumors, hard to distinguish between truth and fiction, Shadow of Generation.

Some of these elements may also appear in the demo, though not necessarily in the order listed above, and there may be even more in store. Stay tuned!
