Vainec is a multiplayer survival game set on a procedurally generated archipelago. Explore, gather, craft and build, and survive the weather, the wildlife and whatever walks in the fog. Play alone, host a world for friends, or join a dedicated server.
Vainec is in early development. Expect rough edges, missing features and saves that may not survive between versions.

Playing

Vainec.exe.
Requirements: 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and a graphics card with DirectX 12 support.
Windows may warn that the app is unrecognised because the build is not code-signed. Choose More info → Run anyway.
Running a dedicated server

Windows
.\VainecServer.console.exe --headless
Linux
mkdir vainec-server && tar -xzf Vainec-Server-Linux-<version>.tar.gz -C vainec-server
cd vainec-server
./VainecServer.x86_64 --headless
Useful options:
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
--port=27015 |
Port to listen on |
--world=<name> |
World to load or create |
--seed=<number> |
Seed for a newly generated world |
Type help in the server console to list its commands.
