Development continues strong (September 2025)

First private test is behind and it went really well, I'm really happy there were no major technical issues and multiplayer code seems to work as expected! Currently my development focus is on bot AI and various gameplay tweaks.

Ok, but what is this game about?

Design your own spaceships and assemble a fleet to play in epic PvP battles. Ships are fully destructible and manned by persistent crew members including yourself. Ranked/casual matchmaking, PvE for practice.

Your avatar is commanding the flagship of your fleet, on top of that you have dozens of crew members and multiple ships at your disposal.

How to win in CotV? Assemble a fleet of your best designs and kill the enemy commander!
