Hello Sector Commanders, For the past four weeks, we have been rebuilding the entire economy of NGC-404: Fractured Sector . This has been one of the largest systemic changes we have worked on so far. The goal was simple: make the economy feel like something that actually exists inside the game world, not just a set of numbers moving in the background. Previously, trade was mostly abstract. Reso…
Hello Sector Commanders, This update is focused on something very important to us: making the game easier to read, better to look at, and more satisfying to play. Over the last few weeks, we received a lot of useful community feedback about our ships and combat presentation. We took that feedback seriously and went back to improve several visual parts of NGC-404: Fractured Sector. Reworked Ship…
New NGC-404:Fractured Sector trailer is ready. This trailer shows the early-game loop: spawn, explore, trade, travel through the galaxy map, switch into pilot mode, fight, answer distress signals, and other player in multiplayer.

Hello Sector Commanders, Before we dive into this update, we have some exciting news to share. NGC-404 Becomes NGC-404: Fractured Sector We're pleased to announce a small rebrand. As development has progressed, we've felt that the original title, while unique, didn't fully communicate the setting and themes of the game to new players. To better reflect the universe we're building, NGC-404 is no…
Hello Sector Commanders, This week we've been working on one of the biggest combat overhauls so far: replacing the old single HP bar system with a sectional damage model. The Old System: One Number Previously, every ship had a single health pool. A hit anywhere on the ship reduced that number. When it reached zero, the ship exploded. It was simple and reliable, but it also meant: · A shot to th…

Hello Sector Commanders, Since last devblog we focused on improving overall immersion - enhancing sound and animations, and introducing a new planet raiding mechanic. Plunder System Space stations are no longer destroyed outright when defeated. Instead, they become disabled , creating an opportunity for enemies to move in and plunder them. When a station is disabled, you can plunder the planet…
Hello Sector Commanders, This week we focused on improving combat AI and battlefield behavior. Ships now choose tactics more intelligently, coordinate their attacks, and AI empires are capable of launching organized raid fleets. Smarter Ship Combat Behavior Ships have learned to fight more intelligently. Instead of flying directly toward the enemy, ships now adapt their behavior depending on th…
Hello Sector Commanders, It’s been one week since we launched our Steam page, and we’d like to share some of the improvements we’ve been working on recently. Turret Firing Arc Visualization Overhaul Until now, turret range and rotation were represented by a very basic visual. It was functional - but not precise enough. It was time to improve it. Now, when you select a ship, a transparent blue f…
