Coming Soon To Early Access

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

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“MoonCraft is still in development, and Early Access lets players experience the core gameplay while helping shape its future. I want to gather feedback on balance, pacing, and survival mechanics as I expand the world, refine combat, and add new systems. This approach allows me to build MoonCraft alongside the community and ensure the final version reflects real player experiences.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About one year. During that time, I plan to add new biomes, enemies, crafting systems, and multiplayer functionality while polishing performance and stability.”

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

“The full version will include online multiplayer, additional lunar biomes, more enemy types, expanded crafting recipes, new base‑building structures, improved suit upgrades, and more story content. I also plan to add optional game modes and refine the overall progression and difficulty curve.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“MoonCraft is fully playable offline with core survival and crafting systems implemented. Players can mine resources, craft gear, build shelters, place lights, rest to recover, and survive against four alien enemy types. The main gameplay loop is complete, and new content will be added throughout Early Access.”

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

“No ,  the price is expected to remain stable through Early Access and full release.”

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

“I’ll involve the community through Steam discussions, social media, and direct feedback. Player suggestions will help guide balance changes, new features, and content priorities. Community input will play a major role in shaping MoonCraft’s evolution toward full release.”

About This Game

MOONCRAFT is currently in Early Access. Thank you for supporting this project as it continues to grow.

The Mission

You are stranded near a damaged landing pod on the lunar surface. Your suit is cracked, oxygen is draining fast, and hostile alien creatures roam the darkness. Your goal is simple: survive.

Gameplay Overview

MOONCRAFT is a lunar survival sandbox focused on exploration, resource gathering, crafting, base building, and combat. Every session begins with limited oxygen and basic tools, pushing you to quickly secure resources and establish a safe perimeter before nightfall.

Core Gameplay Features

  • Resource Mining: Harvest regolith, basalt, ice, neon ore, crystal, and rare anomaly materials from the lunar terrain. Each resource unlocks new crafting recipes and upgrades.

  • Crafting & Fabrication: Use the Fabricator to craft gear, tools, building materials, oxygen supplies, and advanced energy components. Discover new recipes as you find new materials.

  • Base Building: Construct shelters, defensive walls, lighting systems, and reinforced structures to protect yourself from alien attacks and environmental hazards.

  • Survival Management: Monitor oxygen, temperature, radiation, and health. Rest to recover, maintain your suit, and stay ahead of the moon’s harsh conditions.

  • Combat: Fight four distinct alien enemy types using the Space Ray and other tools. Enemies pursue, swarm, and attack from range, requiring mobility and awareness to survive.

  • Exploration: Traverse procedurally generated lunar terrain including craters, ice fields, basalt formations, ore veins, and anomaly zones. Each world is unique.

Progression

As you gather resources and survive longer, you unlock stronger materials, better gear, improved defenses, and more efficient crafting options. Your base expands, your capabilities grow, and your chances of surviving the next night increase.

Replayability

Every world is procedurally generated, offering new terrain layouts, resource placements, and enemy encounters. Experiment with different building strategies, exploration routes, and crafting priorities.
