Drift through the void, build your ship, and uncover the mysteries of an infinite procedurally generated universe.

In Void Drifter, you start as a lone pilot with a small scout ship, but the galaxy is vast and full of opportunities. Mine asteroids, fight pirates, trade resources, and upgrade your vessel to become the ultimate space explorer.

🌌 FEATURES

• Infinite Procedural World – No boundaries, no loading screens. Fly anywhere, and the universe generates around you.
• Ship Customization – Buy new ships (from scout to dreadnought) and equip them with drones and weapons you purchase. Manage your active loadout in the equipment panel.
• Active Drone System – Own multiple drones (Attack, Mining, Defense, Repair, Scanner) and activate up to two at once. They orbit your ship and provide unique bonuses or auto-attacks.
• Diverse Weapons – Unlock scatter shots, homing missiles, plasma cannons, and more. Switch between them freely.
• Dynamic Economy – Each station has random price multipliers for resources. Sell high, buy low – if you can find the right station!
• Exploration Map – Every cell you visit is recorded. Open the map to see your explored territory and discovered stations.
• Sell Selected – No more clicking each item individually. Check the resources you want to sell and hit "SELL SELECTED" for bulk trading.
• Cargo Management – When your cargo is full, loot stops being attracted to your ship – no more annoying magnetic clutter.
• Performance Optimized – Loot despawns after 15 seconds and a global cap prevents lag, even after hours of play.
• Save & Load – Export your progress as a JSON file and continue your journey later.

🎮 CONTROLS

• WASD – Thrusters
• SHIFT – Warp drive (consumes energy)
• L – Fire weapon
• E – Dock at station / interact
• ESC – Pause menu (save, equipment, map)

🚀 START YOUR JOURNEY

You begin with a basic scout, 100 credits, and an empty cargo hold. Mine asteroids for ore, defeat pirates for scrap and cores, and trade at stations to earn credits. Upgrade your hull, buy better ships, and equip drones to automate tasks. The void is waiting – what will you discover?
