RODINA is an immersive space exploration game which allows players to seamlessly travel across an entire, full-scale solar system. Seamless means your character can travel anywhere - in space, on planets, and in your ship - with no loading screens!
Walk around your space ship, or anywhere on full-size planet landscapes. Fly through a planet’s atmosphere to its surface, or out into deep space. Destroy the alien swarm in thrilling dogfights, and learn the secrets of the demise of the Vanguard Colony Ship and the role of its mothership- Rodina.
Rodina is in continuous development! Please try the free demo before buying!
Rodina is made mostly by one solitary, sleep-deprived developer - a 20-year veteran of the games industry, with experience at Bethesda Game Studios (Oblivion, Fallout 3) and time working as a consultant on AAA, mobile, VR, and indie games. You can always contact me at brendan@elliptic-games.com.

Future Vision
My long-term goal is “Daggerfall in Space” - a seamless procedurally-generated space RPG on a massive scale. I can’t make any promises about how far Rodina will go or how long it will take, but see the Roadmap for what I’m working on now and what’s coming next.
Please try the demo, and if you like what you see and pick up the full game, all your money will go towards Rodina’s future development!
