About this game
Explore the Galaxy of Tomorrow
The year is 3050, and Humanity has travelled beyond our solar system, and has joined a galactic community of rich culture and variety spanning almost 1/8th of the Galaxy's area.
Your ship holds the key to cross the vast distances between the many worlds of ARESDA. Earn money by completing contracts and trading, use this to upgrade your ship and weapons. Help your fellow pilots, eliminating hostiles in far-flung outposts and rescuing stranded spacecraft.
Ten ship types, each suited to their own purpose, are available for you to command, with larger vehicles rideable as mass transit and cargo ferrying. More will be added with future updates.
Travel to New Worlds
Every solar system in ARESDA is 1:1 scale, with procedural worlds having realistic biome generation, and a wide variety of terrain types, generated using real-world topography data. With seamless planetary landings, surface outposts and cities on larger planets, ARESDA's galaxy has a mixture of fictional, fully procedural, and real solar systems, giving you a sense for the true vastness of our Galaxy.
A Unique Sci-fi Story
Beyond this, join a fleet to immerse yourself further in the Galaxy's story. Take your ship to join the maiden flight of a new breed of spacecraft, and discover the secrets of those who came before us. Become a soldier of the Union Navy, and travel to the Outer Rim to defend against a looming threat.
An Ever-Evolving Galaxy
Future updates will add even more new content to discover, with more variety in planets, cities and space stations, new gameplay mechanics - e.g. planetary colonisation, and perhaps more.

ARESDA Playtest : v0.1.0 beta
Thanks to those of you who signed up to the playtest already! The first build is now live to everyone who requested access so far. Anyone who signs up past this point, I’ll let you into the playtest next Monday. New builds, as mentioned, will be released every two weeks from now, around this time - depending on what I'm doing that week. No promises, though! My handful of long-term followers will already be aware of my habits regarding long periods of silence.In the event that any major game-breaking bugs are encountered - which I hope shouldn’t occur - a hot fix will be posted as soon as possible. If such a thing does occur, please file a bug report on the new issue tracker on GitHub: https://github.com/Drnagol369/ARESDA-Issue-Tracker . If you do not have a GitHub account but still need to report the bug, do so using the email address linked on the store page. I’ll update the bug tracker with it and reply with any updates to the issue. In either case please provide logs and system specs where appropriate. Logs can be found at "C:\\Users\\\\\AppData\\Roaming\\Godot\\app_userdata\\ARESDA\\logs\\".If you encounter performance issues, please do the same, and provide your graphics card and CPU type. I’m still attempting to categorise the minimum specs of the game. I have a feeling it’s quite CPU-bound at present, and I’m still quite inexperienced with using multiple threads, so that is still a limiting factor.Tutorials at present are limited, and by that I mean basically nonexistent. There is however some help available in-game via the Uninet terminals (computer things in the spaceships, exit your ship's seat by pressing alt). Interact with these, and type “ADDRESS DONTPAN1C” to be taken to an in-game manual, but fair warning it may be somewhat out of date / incomplete. I’m leaving those until the game is closer to release since then I'll be able to use the most accurate information about the game. Please let me know what parts of the game you find difficult to understan...Read full article on Community Announcements (drnagol369)
