A Space Exploration Game That Doesn't Take Itself Too Seriously
Conscripted into tracking down a powerful relic for a spacebound god, you will hop across the galaxy engaging in ridiculous adventures as you try to save your own hide from extermination!
Developed in the author's bedroom over a period 6 years, and hammered on the anvil of an Open Beta Test From Hell Lasting Ten Months, this is what happens when one sorry man goes too, too far with his pet game project. But nevermind that this is an MMORPG of inconceivable scale and variety developed solely by one person. The game itself is completely awesome and crazy!
Now you can:
- Be one of the four traditional spacefaring classes: Hero, Space Pirate, Illuminati or Janitor!
- Destroy cities!
- Purchase plush toys!
- Commit space piracy!
- Be subjected to repeated lion maulings by the Paxian High Council for failing to pay your parking tickets!
- Solve the Mystery of the Pink Cigar Smoking Man By the Pool!
- Loot dungeons!
- Drown!
- Collect colorful gems!
- Murder innocent people!
- No, wait. Don't!
Venture the Void features rock solid gameplay, expansive, autogenerated universes, and one continuous space environment panning all the way out from rocks and bushes to interstellar space.
Autogenerated World Packs
Each game universe ("World Pack") in Venture the Void is automatically generated using sophisticated computer algorithms. So, every time you play, it can be different. Just choose a different world pack to play in when you create a new game!
Single Player Massively Multiplayer Online Offline Game (SPMMOOG)
Venture the Void is a group game. You can choose to play in a public game (with potentially hundreds of other players) or create a private game for just you and your smelliest friends. Or, just play offline!
Online, you don't interact directly with other players by shooting them with laser beams and so forth. Instead, your actions are reflected indirectly for others joined to your game.
Clear out all the monsters from an area? Other players will have to hunt somewhere else. Kill a crucial NPC? Someone will have to have them resurrected if they want to talk. Accidentally infect the entire game population of over 500 NPCs with the dreaded Frog Pox? Oh, no...
By the way, this approach lets me avoid charging a monthly fee.
Is my Computer Good Enough?
Try it and see! Reccomended specs are:
- 1GHz or higher CPU
- 256MB RAM
- 10GB HDD free
- NVIDIA GeForce 2 or higher graphics card
Venture the Void requires Windows 98 or higher to run (e.g. Windows XP.) Recent graphics drivers are strongly reccomended and probably also required.
