Hey everyone! I'm working on a 4X space strategy game called Stellar Dominion — think Stellaris but built from the ground up in Godot 4, with its own mechanics and identity. I'm at the stage where the bones are working: galaxy map, system view, colony management, ship movement, a full resource economy. But there's a lot left to build and I'd love some company doing it.
I want to be upfront about a few things before you click through:
This is a learning project as much as a game project. I'm not looking for professional hires or people who need to perform. I'm looking for curious people who want to dig into something ambitious together, figure things out, and have fun doing it. If you're learning Godot, learning game design, or just want to see how a complex system gets built piece by piece — that's exactly the kind of energy that fits here.
This project also makes extensive use of AI tools across every part of development — code, art, music, design documentation, all of it. AI is a genuine part of the workflow, not something bolted on. If you're interested in what AI-assisted game development actually looks like in practice, this is a good place to see it up close.
If any of this sounds like your kind of project, come check it out: https://arthreal.itch.io/stelar-dominion
Drop a comment there or message me directly. If there's enough interest I'll set up a GitHub repo and open up the Discord so we can actually work together properly. No pressure, no commitment required — just come say hi.
