    BOUNDLESS SPACE: After feedback from players and more solo playtesting, the spaceship sheet is about ready to go! In game, you'll be filling in those empty space on the Components with new abilities, placing playing cards on the bottom for cargo, and running silent past enemies, Human and Machine.

    I haven't played for a while and can’t speak to whatever changes have been made in the last two years (though, it doesn’t sound like many have been made). I’m mainly writing this due to the overwhelming number of fanboys attacking other reviewers due to limited playtime. I played this game for over 900 hours. It is boring, repetitive, and takes forever to gather the resources needed to craft better blocks, equipment, etc. It can also cost a lot of money if you’re the type of person that wants…

    A member of the Fari RPGs discord reached out to tell me they used Boundless to introduce both their partner and 8yo to the world of TTRPGs and that they both loved it. Found the game fun and super accessible. I don’t think there’s are higher praises for a designer than this. I’m so happy

    Alright here goes.... Boundless is being crowdfunded in February, but here's a surprise: you can get the full game and play today! I worked closely with Backerkit to offer a new way for you to "reserve" your digital copy of the game at a big discount that would count towards the total fund goal!

    I have to put it negative as a service to newcomers. THE GAME IS COMPLETELY DEAD. If you buy it, you will be alone. The economy is dead, all towns are abandonned. If you want a voxel builder, why in the hell would you buy a mp game designed for more than solo you. Don't get fooled, the dream is dead. This game was great with people in it, then it declined for years until we all quit. Devs sucked, population low from the start. This is boundless.

    2 years. I've never worked on a game that long but that's how long I've spent iterating on the Boundless system and its setting "Lightfall". But after 2 years, the final game is finally done. Rules, layout, art, player kits. 94 pages of beautiful dark-fantasy and rules-bright mechanics. what now?

I made a post that that their new forum is public now and shared the link and that post was deleted in 5 minutes without any information about why it was deleted.

    Don't buy the game, it is as dead as it can be. Average of 28 players a day and that numbers gets lower by the minute. Once a nice game is completely ruined by the new owner Monumental. As you see I put a lot of hours in this game and I hate to see it die like this. Monumental already destroyed Crowfall and the same is happening to Boundless. Even their game Mythgard is dead. Just look at the Steam charts to see how their games all die. I love the game, too bad development stopped 4 years…

    It's tough for me to review Boundless without offering a history lesson on the game. If you're the TLDR type, I'll simply ask you to find another game. If buildy-crafty survival games are in your wheelhouse, you may want to read on to determine whether this game is truly worth your time. Back in early access this game rang all the right bells, knowing some holes did exist. Loads of concept art could be found on the game's forums, along with ample discussion on how this game could be better,…

    After being just shy of 2000 hours played I've decided its time to hang this game up. The new owners are basically worthless and refuse to sell or do anything with the game. Devs and "community mods" get their feelings hurt and ban or delete any post they don't like on discord or their forums and just ignore any request for whats happening with the game.

    So a few years ago I would have gladly recommended the game to new players. In fact boundless got a few new players because I convinced them to get the game. However, I can no longer in good conscience support the game any further. It has NOTHING to do with the stagnant development state that the game is in, it has nothing to do with the game itself actually. It has entirely to do with Monumental (the current developer). They have started to remove discussions from the steam platform in regards…

    Imagine Minecraft and No Mans Sky, then you'd have Boundless. You get the voxel building features of Minecraft with a persistent universe of NMS and throw in some amazing MMORPG gameplay. On paper, this sounds great. Except in reality, the game fell apart with poor focus from the devs and listening to the wrong people while releasing the wrong content. From its days of early access, the developers promised a persistent universe where you can explore new worlds, build till your hearts…

    The game itself is great. Unfortunately, without any update in years, the game has been stagnant and the player base has been slowly dying. After the new owners of this game acquired it, they only seem to have plans to keep the servers going with no other communication for anything that could potentially be in the works to revitalize the player base, or even instill confidence that the game is in the right hands. They have poor communication skills and leave the remaining active player base in…

    That leaves authors having to choose between: A. Playing nice and letting #Boundless keep selling their books, hoping they’ll someday get some of the money they’re owed (while allowing that figure to increase daily); or B. Claiming rights reversion on the basis of nonpayment, thereby cutting their losses to an entire year’s worth of income and having to start fresh on their own. #Unbound

    Chill building and exploration game. Sadly with no content update for years, making things repetitive into oblivion. Community is possibly the biggest draw to this game, but numbers are super low since all development has stopped and also because the lack of communication from current owners. It was good while it lasted, sad to see it like this.

    It was a fun game but... The population is so low that the game is pretty much unplayable. The game relies on players to build and maintain shops and portals. Another example of a "player driven economy" that crashes and burns the second the population drops. Buy it if you want to run around and see empty cities full of empty shops and portals that have long since stopped working. I don't understand how the game is still running.

    Boundless. What a sweet game it was. There's an eponymous adage in game design spaces - "Don't Design an MMO". This is the perfect example piece for why. Boundless is, essentially, a phenomenal game. I wish I was recommending it! There is immense mechanical depth, an excess of aesthetic direction, and I have a wealth of memories from my time playing this game. None of it is replicable anymore; the game needs an ongoing population to survive, and after 8 or so years, it's time in the sun is…
