Novaquark is launching the first playable alpha version of Dual Universe, a Civilization-like sci-fi game that will bring together a community of online gamers who can help edit and add to the creation.

The alpha version on the PC is the first big milestone announcement since the Paris based Novaquark raised money from Kickstarter and its own web site backers in 2016. It’s a world that could rival games like Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth or Second Life or the much better-funded Star Citizen.
