What it is
A large-scale real-time strategy game, built for iPad and Mac.
Take command of an Architect, the one machine that can build everything, and grow a war economy from a single landing site. Alloy and Power stream in continuously: spend them as fast as you earn them, raise factories, and turn out bots, vehicles, aircraft and ships by the hundred.
Every shot is simulated. Every wreck is left on the field to be reclaimed. Line of sight, radar and fog of war decide what you know. Maps run from 1 vs 1 to eight-player free-for-all, across verdant valleys, ash basins, frozen octants, tidal reaches and whole worlds of plated metal.
Farthest Light is an original game by Analog Elk. It is in development. There is no release date yet.

Two factions
Chorale and Rift. Same resources, different answers.
Both factions mine Alloy and generate Power. How they spend it is where they part ways.
Rift
Slag, mass and momentum.
Slag-plated industrialists with mass drivers and brute armour. Slower, tougher, cheaper power.

Features
What is in the game today.
-
Huge battles
Hundreds of units on one battlefield, each shot simulated, each wreck left where it fell.
-
Deterministic simulation
Every match replays exactly as it happened. Watch past battles or load a saved game from the menu.
-
Skirmish against the AI
Easy, Normal and Hard opponents that scout, siege and adapt. Any mix of allies, teams and victory rules.
-
Local and online multiplayer
Host or join with a join code, or play on the same network. Online play is coming.
-
Pause and plan
Stop the clock, queue orders across the whole front, then let it run.
-
Builder crews
Assign nearby builders to a factory or a site. Crews assist, repair and reclaim without a click per unit.
-
A 13-lesson tutorial
Basics, economy, army and assault in four short chapters. Leave any time; your place is saved.
-
Touch first, keys always
Pinch, pan and drag-select on iPad. Full keyboard, mouse and trackpad on Mac and on iPad.
iPad and Mac
One match. Two ways to hold it.
The same simulation, the same maps and the same HUD on both. The layout adapts to how you are holding the device.
- Touch. Pinch to zoom, pan with one finger, drag-select, tap and hold for detail.
- Keyboard and mouse. Attack-move, control groups, build keys and queue modifiers, on Mac and on iPad with a keyboard.
- Trackpad. Full support on Mac and on iPad, with the same orders and modifiers as a mouse.
The score
An orchestra that listens to the match.
The score is classical, drawn from public-domain orchestral recordings. It follows the state of play and changes as a quiet build-up turns into a fight.
-
Calm
Scouting, mining, the first structures.
-
Building
Factories cycling, armies forming at the rally point.
-
Battle
The lines meet. The music goes with them.
Recordings by the Musopen project, released under CC0. Full notices on the credits page.
