DEADLIGHT FRONTIER: DUSTWAKE — PROJECT BRIEFING

Deadlight Frontier is the main title. Dustwake is the subtitle of this installment.

Freedom runs on fuel.

A single-player browser RPG on a space western frontier.
You captain a beat-up freighter on the edge of settled space.
Your ship is home. Your crew are people with histories and agendas of their own.

YOUR OWN UNIVERSE
Explore a procedurally generated open world. Every player has their own universe,
with a different arrangement of star systems, worlds, and routes. Each new game
begins with a new universe; your choices make the journey your own.

THE LOOP
Find a contract → prepare the ship → pick a route → survive the encounter → collect the pay and live with the consequences.

PLANETARY STORIES
Text adventures with atmospheric backgrounds and meaningful choices.
Crew skills, reputation, and previous decisions open different paths.

SPACE COMBAT
Plan on pause. Every ship executes its orders simultaneously for five seconds.
Disable a rival, then choose: destroy, release, demand cargo, or board.

BOARDING
Explore a small 3D map of a damaged ship.
Meeting armed resistance switches to turn-based character combat.
Damage from the space battle affects the rooms. Crew members can be lost for good.

STATUS
In development, made by a solo indie developer.
Donations are being raised to support ongoing development and bring the full game to life.
A playable tactical boarding prototype is available; no full release date has been announced.
Landing page imagery consists of original concept art with interface mockups,
not screenshots of a finished game.
