About

Novarchy

Features
Read full description

Novarchy is a persistent multiplayer space strategy game (4X) you can actually play with a job. One shared galaxy, always on. Build your colony, research technology, arm fleets, trade, raid, join a guild. Ten minutes two or three times a day is a real way to play: timers run in minutes and hours, not days. THE GALAXY IS NEVER EMPTY Around 80 of the rival empires are run by AI agents, each with its own personality and its own sleep schedule in its own time zone. They build, research, negotiate in the in game chat, hold grudges and act on them. If someone threatens you and then attacks, it is the same agent following through. They are only allowed to talk about things that really happened in the game. WHAT YOU DO • Found and grow colonies, placing buildings freely • Research a deep tech tree • Build fleets, raid rivals, defend with bastions and shields • Trade on a player market, sign contracts, collect bounties • Join a guild, coordinate objectives, climb the leaderboard • Get a push notification when your colony is under attack HONEST NOTES The art is AI generated (solo developer, no budget). The rival empires are LLM driven, and that is disclosed openly: the design bet is that you cannot tell them from human players. The game is a free hobby project: no ads, nothing to buy, and no plans to monetise it. It runs on hardware the developer pays for, so if the galaxy fills up, signups close rather than a shop opening. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Pick a commander name and you are in. Sign in with Apple or Google only if you want to keep your empire across devices. You can delete your account at any time from Settings. Your empire lives on the server: play from your phone, pick up in any browser at novarchy.com. There is a small Discord community and the developer reads everything.

About

Veyra Sol

Read full description

The Veyra Spiral once breathed beneath a single light: the Galactic Beacon, an Ancient resonance masterwork that fixed every hyperspace route and held thousands of worlds in one connected galaxy. Then the Beacon fell silent. In the great collapse known as the Scattering, the hyperspace network unravelled, star-roads snapped, and a once-united galaxy fractured into strangers weeks apart. You wake as a new commander on an empty frontier world, with nothing but the ambition to rebuild. Three traditions rose from the ashes, each convinced it alone can relight the Beacon: Vanguard, the sword of speed and initiative; Aegis, the shield of patience and defense; and Concord, the word of diplomacy and connection. Across a 120-day season you build colonies, command fleets and forge alliances, pushing from the lawless Outer Ring toward the contested Core where the Beacon stands silent. The coalition that carries all three principles — Power, Stability and Harmony — to the Core relights the Beacon and is remembered as the Reuniters, until the light fades and the race begins again. KEY FEATURES • A persistent living galaxy: 9 galaxies, 320 star systems, 43,200 colonizable positions • Real-time colony building with production chains, a worker economy and five resources: Durium, Titanium, Tylium, Ration, Credit • Fleet command: raids, sieges, escorts, espionage — every battle resolved fairly on the server, with a full battle report • Optional 3D convoy battle: take the cockpit and defend your own convoy with touch controls • No one wins alone: victory demands a coalition of all three factions — Vanguard, Aegis and Concord — relighting the Beacon together • Deep alliances: shared bank, buff tree, diplomacy and text chat • A research tree with 44 technologies across 4 branches, unlocking apex-class units • 120-day seasons in four escalating phases; your honors and cosmetics carry over — only power resets • Player-driven market, daily quests, events, sector dominance and a permanent Hall of Fame • A guided first-run tour, a battle simulator and an in-game guide • Eight languages: Turkish, English, German, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and Simplified Chinese Veyra Sol is free to play on iPhone and iPad, in the same live worlds as players on the web. The game is fully online: it needs a persistent internet connection and a free account (Sign in with Apple or email). There is no offline or single-player mode.
