Sky Scaffold

The Fourcade Expanse doesn't have a fixed history.It has yours.Sky Scaffold is set in an isolated region of colonized space — cut off from the Milky Way four centuries ago when the Stretch Band Gate narrowed and went silent, abandoning two million colonists to fend for themselves. In the absence of any central authority, power moved to whoever controlled the systems everyone else needed to survive: communication relays, power grids, atmospheric processors, shipping lanes.Out of that vacuum, factions emerged. Not designed from the top down — but grown from pressure, ideology, and desperation.The FactionsHIGI Loyalists — Hierarkeheigh Inter-Galactic Industries built the infrastructure your colony runs on. They never stopped owning it. HIGI doesn't rule through armies. They rule through firmware. Defy them, and they don't send soldiers — they reclassify you in a database and let the automated systems handle the rest. Their Social Ledger tracks every transaction, debt, and relationship across the Shred. Freedom, in HIGI's accounting, is an unpaid invoice.The High-Res Synod — A faction born from a disaster caused by a badly summarised document. Station Meridian-6 starved when a 300-page logistics manual was compressed into three lines and critical context was lost. 41,000 people died. The Synod's response: all unverified data is lethal. They demand the raw, uncompressed truth before accepting any claim — and they have the patience of people who've watched compression errors kill entire colonies.The Archive Keepers — Digital networks are entropic. Data gets "optimised" until the institutional knowledge underneath it disappears. The Keepers rejected digital storage entirely. They etch vellum. They stamp alloy plates. They hand-copy manuscripts in shielded vaults buried in asteroid cores. Slow, deliberate, and extraordinarily difficult to deceive.The Chorus of the Loop — Born in an 11-year communications blackout that drove a mining station to the edge of extinction — not t...

Hello from AG, It's been one of those projects I wanted to just throw out there in early access and build overtime. An idea here, and a full rework there, I have found myself pushing back the release date more and more. At some point you have to throw the baby out of the nest and let it just sink or swim. Just like ripping off a shirt in a job interview, there is no right time to do it. You just have to go for it. Sky Scaffold has spawn from the simple idea of "Idle game + more things". I personally enjoy a mixture of games. I play survival or colony games and wonder why they dont have incremental progression. I play auto-battlers and wonder why it can't be a way to expand in a survival game. I can go on and on. The core of Sky Scaffold is built around the idea that it's ok to go niche. In a flooded market, there is no reason to appeal to everyone. This game is a very specific blend of genres that I enjoy and don't see mixed together. The only time to really do that is when the creative vision is unified. For me it's easier because I'm the only option for creative direction. I take full advantage of that and as a result, I have a product that is not easy to explain.The current state of the game is a full offline single player and that will always be the core experience. I have tested an optional co-op system and it's fully worked out and should available and playable on release. For now, I have some simple in-game additions that will allow you to connect to the "Uplink". The Uplink is the black-market network with it's own console in-game. A mobile-friendly browser version is in the works. This is where you can access the persistent features. Right now I will be releasing with a raid system. Once connected to the Uplink, you can obtain codes from npcs about of faction "Strongholds". Strongholds will have a reward of rare items. You will have a chance to get a trinket that can only be obtained through Stronghold raids. Some can be completed solo but others will requi...
