4X space exploration with worker placement and fleet management. Command asymmetric factions across a hex-tile galaxy, placing crew in ship rooms and diplomats in space ports. Based on the open-source video game Endless Sky.
Endless Skies is being designed in the open. Factions, ship rooms, and the wormhole network are defined. Tech trees, contract decks, and scoring are still being refined through playtesting. The hex map generator is live now.
Four interlocking systems drive every round of Endless Skies.
Each faction has unique starting credits, technology access, and strategic pressure. Some scale with player count, others have fixed wealth regardless of game size.
