NGC-404 changes
After months of internal development and iteration, the project has reached a stage where it makes sense to open it up publicly. The store page is live, and development will continue with community visibility.
The game combines:
A fully simulated economy
Procedural sector generation with seeds
Tactical 2D fleet combat
Logistics-based warfare
Colony development
Multiplayer with hot join
The focus has always been depth through interaction between systems - economy influencing war, logistics influencing combat readiness, exploration influencing expansion routes.
Why Steam Now?
The project has reached a point where:
Core economic systems are functional
Sector generation is stable
Fleet combat is operational
Multiplayer foundation is implemented
There is still a significant amount of work ahead. Balancing, optimization, AI refinement, UI clarity, and long-term progression systems are ongoing.
