Hello, I am jejoxdev, a solo indie game developer.

I am a strategy game enthusiast since childhood, and after juggling with many ideas for the past few years, I decided on my first project: HARD VOID.

HARD VOID is a Lovecraftian-themed 4X space turn-based strategy game in Early Access.  
Lead your custom species across galaxies and multiple dimensions to build an Empire. Design your spaceships, assemble your fleets, and fight for supremacy. But beware, unthinkable Eldritch horrors lurk in the vast darkness.

# What does HARD VOID put on the table?

Freedom. One of the game's main tenets is freedom; most in-game systems have only a few hard limits. For example, you can design your spaceships with a huge selection of ship systems: weapons, defenses, engines, power sources, and more! Ship with no engines? We warned you, but here you go. The procedural hull generator produces a unique hull for your designs.

The game economy works with production chain mechanics and logistics. Gather several material and abstract resources, like Iron, Copper, Labor, etc. You can build any number of ships your colonies can, but must supply them; every nuclear missile your ships fire must be built in one of your space colonies, and you must load uranium to fuel your nuclear reactors.

Multiple dimensions, multiple FTL methods, Megastructures, etc. Almost all the sci-fi tropes, the freedom to play, and role-playing as you want.

But wait, how is this Lovecraftian? I did not mention the eldritch horrors lurking in the vast darkness of space. They don't hate you, they don't even care about you, but if you draw their attention, good luck surviving. There are ancient artifacts that \[maybe\] can give you enough power to resist, or more probably drive your civilization to chaos and madness, if the procedural event generator didn't already do that with its cosmic horror events.

You can try the free demo on Steam, and join the Early Access if you want to support me in my endevour. My goal is to put many wild and experimental ideas together to push inovation, even if just a bit, in the space 4X game genre. Also, feature suggestions and discussion are welcome!
