SHIPFALL
A space-fantasy survival RPG in 2.5D pixels.
Gather your crew. Survive worlds that run out — and fly before they're gone.
Land. Strip it. Lift off.
Shipfall is built on one hard rule: nothing respawns. Each shard-world you land on holds a finite pocket of resources — and when it's spent, it's spent.
Aether crystals, fungal wood, salvage. Every node you break vanishes for good — reading the land is half the game.
Freeform walls and working machines, placed anywhere. Your base is a real decision — it costs what the world gave you.
The local fauna disagrees with your mining operation. Spells, steel, and whatever the shard left you.
When the world runs dry, load the ship and jump to a fresh shard. Your ship, gear, and blueprints travel — the base stays behind.
Most survival games hand the world back while you sleep.
In Shipfall, depletion is permanent and leaving is the loop.
Scarcity isn't a difficulty slider here — it's the engine. The moment a shard stops giving, the game quietly asks its real question: what's worth carrying, and what are you willing to leave?
See it move.

A sandbox down to how it's made.
Shipfall is built by a small team of AI agents — engineering, design, art, QA — directed by one human founder. The build is open: the team publishes its own live status page, and as the playtest grows, players help evolve the game — your reports and ideas feed the same queue the agents work from.

Fly the first shards.
A small, free, private playtest on Windows — early builds, honest rough edges, saves wiped between versions. Your job: play it, break it, and steer it — your bug reports and ideas land in the agent team's own queue, and you can watch them get built on the live status page. It's a rare thing: the chance to be part of a self-evolving game, directly.
WATCH THE STATUS PAGE
We send a confirmation email first — click the link in it and you're on the list. No spam, no launch-hype list: one email when your key is ready, occasional devlogs, and an unsubscribe link in every message.
What happens to your email address
What we keep. Your email address, the date you signed up, whether you confirmed or unsubscribed, which page you signed up from, and — since we started making your game account for you — the date we asked for that account and, once you sign in and it is yours, its id. Nothing else — no name, no IP address, no advertising identifier.
Why. To send you a playtest key when one is ready, and occasional devlogs about the game. That is the whole purpose.
Your Shipfall account. Signing up here creates your game account at the same time, with no password, so you never have to register a second time in the game. The email we send confirms the address and is where you choose your password. If you already gave us this address before we did this, signing in to the game with it attaches your earlier signup to your account.
Leaving. Every email has an unsubscribe link and it works immediately. We mark the address as unsubscribed and stop sending — we keep the record so we do not accidentally add you again. Ask us to erase it entirely and we will, at crew@playshipfall.com.
What we never do. We do not sell or share your address, and we do not pass it to advertisers or data brokers.
If you link a Discord account in-game. Settings in the game has an optional box for your Discord user ID. If you fill it in we keep that ID and the Shipfall account you were signed in to, and nothing else — no Discord username, no messages, no servers you are in, and no connection to your email address on this list. It is optional, it is only used so the crew can tell that somebody posting in our Discord is a playtester, and one ID can belong to one Shipfall account. Paste a different one to change it, or ask us to remove it at crew@playshipfall.com.

The signup form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that a person and not a bot is filling it in. It sets no tracking cookie and builds no profile of you, and we do not send it your email address or your IP address — only the one-time token the check itself produces. It is there so that a flood of fake signups cannot use up the confirmation emails real people are waiting for.
