Hello there!

I’m Matt, the creator of the Fractal Sailor tech demo. It’s been a year since the tech demo launched here on Itch.io and I’ve been incredibly grateful for all the feedback and ideas you’ve shared. Your input has helped shape the future of the project and now, I’m thrilled to share a major update!

A few months ago, I decided to take everything I learned from your feedback and begin work on a "full game". While we’re still in the very early stages, I’ve gathered a small team and we’ve been designing mechanics and systems that we hope will make the game fun experience.

We’re building a cooperative sci-fi crew-based experience with roguelite missions, where players team up to pilot customizable ships through a surreal, procedurally-generated fractal world. You’ll take on contracts, upgrade your ship and character roles, and work together to survive strange encounters and challenging missions. Keep in mind, everything described here is still early and might change.

This is an ambitious project and since we’re developing it alongside our fulltime jobs, we’re taking the time to really think about what’s fun and what’s not, and we genuinely welcome your input!

We’ve also got some very early gameplay footage, featuring me and my team sailing around, testing core systems, fighting off threats, and gathering resources:

Thanks again for being part of this journey.

– Matt & the team
