Description
Endless Sky is a 2D space trading and combat game inspired by the classic Escape Velocity series. Work your way up from a relatively wimpy shuttle, cargo ship, or fighter, to a highly upgraded and customized flagship or to a massive fleet of warships or freighters. Earn money by carrying passengers or cargo, escorting convoys, bounty hunting, or plundering and capturing enemy ships. Take sides in a civil war, or ignore the story line and just enjoy exploring the galaxy and blasting pirates.

The main story line takes about 8-16 hours to play through. The galaxy contains hundreds of star systems and planets, and several alien species with their own unique technologies. You can choose between more than fifty ships and several hundred ship upgrades. A plugin system allows anyone with a text editor and a paint program to create new ships, weapons, or missions, and the galaxy editor can be used to add new star systems and planets.

Endless Sky is free, open source, and cross platform (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Over time, the game universe will expand as contributors add new missions, story lines, alien species, places to explore, sound effects, and artwork.

For more information, please visit the website or read the player's manual.

To try the beta version go to 'Manage Installation' -> 'Configure' -> 'Beta Channels' in GOG Galaxy.

Endless Sky is free software, released under the terms of the GNU GPL version 3 or later. You are free to change and redistribute it.

As advertized

It's definitely an escape velocity-like game... and by that I mean you slowly grind your way to bigger and bigger ships with no real story or mission to follow - at least as far as I've encountered so far. It's a fun time sink, but the Escape Velocity games were big in the 90s, so aside from notalgia, there's not a lot that these games to offer 30 years later.

Nice little game

The game is simple but nice and interesting. Works smooth and offers quiet some things to discover. Although easy to play itsdifficult to master, I played it a lot of hours now and it is still fun.
