The stars aren't your friends. They’re just distant lights in an uncaring universe. In Wild Black Yonder, you aren't a chosen hero or a fleet commander. You’re a pilot with a ship that rattles with the memory of a thousand repairs and a dashboard lit by the glow of analog displays Set against a backdrop of a persistent, hand-crafted universe, your journey is your own. Whether you're hauling cargo through dangerous lanes, hunting bounties in the silence of an asteroid field, or just trying to find a decent drink, every choice you make can ripple through the universe.

Wild Black Yonder is a 2D space adventure that blends high-stakes combat with the reality of a pilot making a living on the galactic frontier.

Planned Features

  • A Persistent, Hand-Crafted Universe: Every sector and station is designed with intent. Your actions impact the world around you, influencing the balance of power and the economy.

  • In Ship & On Foot: Take part in top-down dogfights and exploration, then dock your ship to explore detailed space stations. Trade goods, pick up missions, or join in on the local culture.

  • The Experience: Survival isn't just about winning fights, it’s about management. Balance your credits to upgrade your ship, swap out weapon systems, and keep your fuel tanks full.

  • Customization: Choose from a variety of ships and an arsenal of weapons to suit your play style, whether you’re a silent trader or a heavy-hitting mercenary.

  • Being The Pilot: You are more than just your ship. Invest in tools and personal equipment, form a network of contacts, and build alliances. Your reputation is just as important to success as the pea-shooter strapped to your hull.
