Questions, answered

A top-down space MMO about building a ship, charting a procedurally named galaxy under rising threat, and following a branching story across three rival factions.

Not publicly — it is in development and running a closed alpha. Alpha keys go out in invite waves (the Discord is where they land). Account creation is open to everyone, so you can sign up and earn a Founder badge now.

Sign in on this site, open your account page, and redeem the key there. That unlocks the client download on the same page, and your account can then log into the game.

Keys are handed out in waves through the Discord — drops, playtest calls, and giveaways. Joining early and being active is the honest answer.

It is a permanent flag on your profile marking you as part of the pre-launch wave. Account creation during pre-launch grants it automatically. It is purely a badge of honor — no pay-to-win.

Meridian Void is free to play. Exactly how it is monetized is still being worked out, but one rule is fixed: never pay-to-win. We are looking at optional cosmetics and possibly an optional subscription for account perks and quality-of-life — nothing that buys in-game power. Creating an account and earning a Founder badge are free, and whatever we land on will be spelled out before launch.

Windows and Linux, both native. Linux is a committed target, not a maybe — the game is built for it (Steam Deck included). We are not planning macOS, consoles, or mobile; Meridian Void is a keyboard-and-mouse PC game and we would rather do two platforms well than spread thin across many.

Yes. The same account is your identity on the site and in the game, so your pilot, badges, and standings line up across both. You pick your pilot name in-game.

You must be at least 13 to create an account. The service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Any time. Use the account deletion page; it removes your web account and unlinks your pilot. See the privacy policy for what that covers.

File it on the Bug Council. Reports get triaged and deduped into a public board you can vote on and follow, and your contributions show on your profile. The Discord works too — pre-launch feedback shapes the game the most.
