Yeah looking forward to this one. It seems very ambitious. Here is a link to their site with a lot more information.

beta decay

A dark, dystopian RPG where you can build spaceships, join factions, and fight for territory in a newly discovered star system.

Alright, this is cool, going on the wishlist!

I thought it was a typo for State of Decay 3 lol

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Decay is shaping up to be one of the most unique indie survival RPGs we've seen in years. Built in Unreal Engine 5 by Rotoscope Studios, this game blends voxel-based terrain, retro PS1 visuals, permadeath systems, mech piloting, and faction-driven politics—all inside a living, breathing sci-fi city.

In this video, I break down everything we know so far:
– What Beta Decay is
– How the core gameplay loop works
– The survival and permadeath systems
– Mechs, cockpit simulation, and space travel
– Factions, world structure, and dynamic consequences
– What's playable right now and what isn't
– Honest community reaction and my take

There's no release date yet, but the foundation is already in place—and if they pull it off, this could be a genre-defining game.

I think the game itself looks cool but monochrome games or monochrome games + one color is a trend that I wish would stop.

I'm really intrigued, but what's stopping a bunch of grifters from ganging up to curb stomp new players? You've got to have server moderators or something to stop grifting and cheating.

You can play solo offline. Probably on a private game or server.

From their FAQ page on their website

"The game may be played fully offline in singleplayer. Multiplayer will drop players in the same world together in tandem with singleplayer elements. You may play online with others cooperatively, or against each other."
