In Space Empire, take command of your own interstellar civilization on a persistent server shared with the entire community. From your home planet, construct buildings, research new technologies, and build your fleet to establish your power.
🚀 First Release — Testing Phase

This is the very first deployment of Space Empire! The game is still young, so you may run into some bugs, rough edges, or balance issues here and there.

I'm releasing this version specifically to gather your feedback: feel free to report any issues, share suggestions, or send ideas for improvement. Every bit of feedback helps me fix, polish, and steer the game in the right direction.

Thanks for your understanding, and have fun among the stars! 🌌
Server
Right now, only one server is available, currently hosted on my own PC for this testing phase due to limited resources — this should move to a dedicated server within the coming weeks or months.

Server stability
Since this is purely a test for me, the server can shut down at any time without notice ! so please don't get too attached to your planet, as nothing is guaranteed during this phase. 

Manage your resources 

Crystal, Metal, Deuterium, and Energy ! by collecting deliveries from your outposts and optimizing your production. Choose your faction, forge alliances, negotiate diplomatic agreements, or prepare your fleets for battle.

Construct buildings, research new technologies, and build your fleet

Progress through numerous technological tiers, from early infrastructure all the way to late game advancements like the fusion reactor or espionage operations. Track your journey through your logbook, a true record of your achievements and knowledge of the universe.
Upgrades/balancing
Upgrades likely still need some balancing, which I'll be fine-tuning based on player feedback. 

Ranking 

 Climb the leaderboard and compare your empire's growth against players from across the galaxy.
Ranking
The ranking system runs on 90-day seasons for now, starting with a pre-season where attacks are disabled so players can prepare, followed by the actual season where combat becomes available. 

Space & player interactions

 Explore a shared living space filled with other players' empires, offering opportunities for trade, conflict, and diplomacy.
Space & player interactions
Player interactions in the space system should work as intended ! I've made plenty of galaxies and planets available to accommodate a large number of players joining and settling in, though there's still balancing and development work ahead on this part. 

Alliance creation 

 Form alliances with other players to grow stronger together, coordinate strategies, and face the galaxy as a united force.
Alliance system
The alliance system hasn't been fully tested yet and may still contain some inconsistencies ! this is something I'll be keeping an eye on during the testing phase. 

Various activities to collect resources while waiting

 Enjoy a variety of side activities to gather extra resources and stay engaged while your empire develops over time.
Mini-games note
The first mini-game is still a work in progress and might look a bit rough or buggy here and there ! it's under active development, just like the other two activities to come.

About this project
This game is heavily inspired by a well-known online game, created as a personal technical challenge to build something meaningful using S&box ! a small passion project I've spent quite a bit of time on.
