Press kit
Keel to Orbit is a fully real-time MMO strategy game: every player shares one galaxy, and the world moves together through six eras — from the battleships of the Age of Steam to the orbital stations of 2100. The game does not reward cooperation; it requires it.

About the game
Every player plays on one map and watches rival fleets move live. The world is not split into servers picked from a list — you fly between maps across one continuous galaxy. The whole server moves through the same eras at the same time, and the map never resets: your base and your alliance last for two centuries.
Cooperation is a requirement, not a bonus. Bosses cannot be beaten alone, base defense depends on allied fleets, and territory is never taken single-handed. Units in eras I–IV are historical; eras V–VI extrapolate real technology trends, with no fantasy.
Key features
- One shared real-time galaxy — no server list, no merged worlds, no map resets.
- Six eras from 1900 to 2100, from battleships to orbital stations; Era I is in the game and Era II is opening up.
- Three factions — Miner, Explorer and Commander — are play styles, not different ships.
- Server-resolved combat built on a triangle of ship classes; allies fight side by side.
- Alliances with live-translated chat, and bosses you take down as a group.
- Plays in the browser — installs like an app on phones — and on Windows.
Development
We build the game from the core outward. Phase 0 (prototype) is complete: Era I, a base with seven buildings, a galaxy of rooms with flights between them, bosses and raids, alliances, chat with translation, events, a shop, 3D views, a phone app and a Windows installer. Phase 1 (MVP) is under way: Era II, bigger alliances, territories with the first “Conquest”, and a tutorial ahead of the app-store launch. Ongoing changes are listed in the Changelog.
