SECTORUM // FINAL TRANSMISSION
Thank you for exploring the galaxy.
After years of development, I have decided to bring
Sectorum to an end.
I put an enormous amount of time into this game. I kept hoping that one more feature,
one more round of fixes, or one more improvement would help it find a larger audience.
I rebuilt major systems, expanded the universe, and eventually redesigned the entire
client because I thought a better experience would bring more people in.
It didn't happen.
I was glad to spend the time because building Sectorum was fun. But it also came to
monopolize far too much of my free time, and there has to be a point where I stop.
I can't keep putting this much work into a project for free when almost no one is
playing it, especially when there are so many other things in my life that deserve
that time.
I'm still proud of what Sectorum became. It grew into a persistent universe with
trading, combat, corporations, planets, quests, exploration, research, dynamic galaxy
events, multiple clients, S.W.A.R.M., the Outer Rim, and far more than I ever expected
when I started.
To everyone who played, tested, reported bugs, gave feedback, or simply spent a little
time in the universe I built: thank you. Whether you stayed for five minutes or became
one of the regulars, I appreciate that you gave Sectorum a chance.
STATUS
Sectorum is coming to an end.
The game and website will be shutting down when the current domain expires.
TIMELINE
Years of building.
Years of creating, rewriting, breaking, fixing, expanding, and learning along the way.
DOMAIN
End of October 2026
The Sectorum domain expires at the end of the month, and the game will go offline with it.
It was a hell of a project.
I'm glad I made it.
