The Plan for the SDU Minimal Viable Product (MVP)

The Plan for the SDU Minimal Viable Product (MVP)

What is the MVP?

While the ARChaotic Engine is under heavy development, we don't want to keep you waiting for years to experience the world of SDU. That's why we plan to develop a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) Demo using the Unity engine.

It's crucial to understand what the MVP is (and what it isn't):

  • It IS a Proof of Concept: The MVP will be a small, curated experience designed to showcase the core gameplay loops of SDU—survival, crafting, and building—in a limited environment.
  • It IS a Development Milestone: The creation of the MVP will happen in between major development stages of the ARChaotic Engine. It will serve as a valuable testbed for game mechanics and design philosophies.
  • It IS NOT the full game: The MVP will have significantly fewer features, simpler graphics, and a much smaller scope than the final version of SDU. It is a standalone demo, not an early access version of the final product.

Our goal with the MVP is to provide a fun, playable sample that gives you a glimpse into the future of Stardust Universe while we focus on building the powerful engine required for the full experience. We will announce the start of the MVP's development phase once the ARChaotic Engine reaches its first major milestone. Stay tuned!
