Megatect Demo

It’s always liberating to be free to create your own stuff, which is why games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress are so popular with the crowds. However, while Minecraft is relatively simple to learn, most sandbox games are a bit intimidating when it comes to the interface and the gameplay mechanics. There are few options if you decide to go for something more sci-fi instead.

Megatect is a sci-fi sandbox game that allows you to put your imagination into practice and bring all of your ideas to life with a few simple clicks. This is basically both a tool and a game rolled into one, because it is possible to switch from build mode to exploration mode with the press of a button. More players can work on the same project together, which opens up even more possibilities.

While the game is still in development at this point, there are more than enough features and objects to play around with and get an idea of how the final product is going to be. Basic blocks, doors, stairs and buttons are all here already, not to mention the wires, which can be used to connect objects and create basic automated scripts with ease. As long as you’ve got some spare time to put into it, there are more than enough options at your disposal.

Cosmetic options are available as well, which allow you to get even more creative. For now, you can only change the color of the objects, but that should be enough to reach interesting results. The interface is very well designed, because everything is one click away at all times. The camera movement is smooth and precise, and you shouldn’t have trouble placing the blocks in the desired location.

It can get a bit difficult to work with wires, given the fact that you have to understand how to connect them. On the other hand, everything you need to know is explained in the tutorial, so it shouldn’t be that hard to figure it out. Lastly, the graphics are surprisingly pleasant as well, especially when you consider the small file size and the early build of the project at this time.

Megatect is the kind of game that can turn huge overnight, especially if enough features are added and the players are not restrained by frustrating boundaries. The combination of action and free building is volatile enough to spark something memorable, and we can only hope that the developer keeps refining the project.
