How AI is used
VoidCraft uses generative AI in two ways. During development, AI tools were used to create content that ships with the game, all reviewed and edited by the developer before inclusion: - Written content: lore, item and research descriptions, mission templates and NPC flavour text. - 3D models: the buildings and ships were generated with text-to-3D tools from our own prompts, then cleaned up and optimized for the game. - Images: concept art for ships and buildings, shown in the fleet roster and in dossiers, was generated with image models from our own prompts. - Voice and sound: the narration for the in-game lore entries is AI text-to-speech read from scripts written for the game, and the battle sound effects and ambience were made with an AI sound-effects tool. - Music: the background music soundtrack is AI-generated music. - Marketing concepts were also explored with AI image tools. During gameplay, two features generate text live using large language models: the optional in-game Advisor, which analyses your empire and offers strategy advice in character, and contract mission briefings (titles, short stories and NPC names) on station contract boards. Players cannot type free-form prompts into these systems: the AI receives only structured game-state data assembled by our servers, and every output is validated server-side before it appears in the game. Core gameplay (combat, economy, progression, rewards) is governed by deterministic game rules, not by AI.
The developer's own words, from Steam.
About VoidCraft
One living galaxy. Real stakes.
VoidCraft is an always-online space MMO that brings back what the modern mobile 4X wave
threw away: real-time fleet travel, genuine consequences, and a galaxy you can actually
win. Your fleet is hours away from the enemy's homeworld - and someone else's is hours
from yours.
Travel in real time
Dispatch fleets across a shared star map and watch warp trails draw toward their target
with a live ETA. When a hostile fleet is inbound, the countdown is real - rally your
defenses, call in reinforcements, or ask your alliance for help before it lands.
Watch every battle resolve
Combat plays out as a deterministic replay you can watch and share, second by second.
Build your fleet, pick your moment, and see exactly how it unfolds - volleys, explosions,
and an after-action breakdown of every loss and every haul.
Build an empire your way
Mine, build, and research across your worlds. Climb the tech tree from Energy to Lasers
to Plasma. Scout rivals with tiered espionage. Raid, recycle, ally, betray - the
diplomacy is as sharp as the weapons.
Find the relics
Relics lie scattered across the galaxy. Find them, use them to power your empire - and
find out why the galaxy resets every 6 months.
A fair start, every cycle
Every 6 months the galaxy goes through a Big Bang: empires are archived into the era hall
of fame and a fresh shard spins up. No entrenched whales, no dead servers - everyone gets
a real shot.
Free to play. No pay-to-win. Ever.
Cosmetic monetisation only. No gacha, no vaults, no buying your way past another commander.
One universe. Every device.
Play one persistent, always-online universe that keeps running even when you log off.
