Persistent browser strategy

Build an empire that doesn’t disappear.

Continuum is a persistent space strategy game for the browser. Claim a world, turn asteroids into industry, research your edge and command fleets in a shared universe that never resets.

One shared universe · Hourly turns · Your planet is permanent

An illuminated planet surrounded by orbital fleet traffic.
One universe. Every decision leaves a mark.
Connecting to the live universe…
01

Build something that stays built

Your planet, factories, fleet, territory and battle record live in one universe. There is no seasonal wipe waiting to erase your work.

02

Strategy that fits a real day

Set production, plan research and send fleets around an hourly clock. Make consequential calls without having to sit in a lobby.

03

A map with consequences

Every coordinate can become a neighbour, ally, rival or target. What you take, lose and defend changes the universe for everyone.


What a tick does

One tick is one hour. Everything in the game is scheduled against it, so a turn is something you set up and then leave running. Here's a stretch of one commander's clock.

  1. tick +0

    Every hour, without you

    Your refineries and asteroids pay out titanium, iridium and energy. Research points accrue. The clock advances for the whole universe at once, whether or not you're logged in.

  2. tick +6

    A batch delivers

    Ships you queued finish building and land in the fleet group you assigned them to. Bigger hulls need bigger factories, and they take longer.

  3. tick +10

    Your fleet arrives

    Combat resolves in a single pass, by ship initiative. Salvage is split, asteroids change owner, and both sides get a report they keep.

  4. tick +20

    The survivors come home

    What made it back rejoins your planet. What didn't is gone — there's no end-of-round wipe to hand it back.


What persists

Games like this normally run a round, crown a winner, and wipe the universe so everyone restarts level. Continuum doesn't have that reset, which changes what a decision costs.

Your address
A planet holds its coordinate for as long as you hold the planet. People will learn it.
Your losses
Ships destroyed are destroyed. Asteroids taken off you are mined by whoever took them, from the next tick on.
The map
An abandoned planet isn't swept up. It stays where it is, as a target for anyone who wants it.
The record
Every battle fought against you is kept. Not a rolling log that ages out — the whole history.

Take a slot

Signing up puts a planet at the next open coordinate and starts your clock on the same tick as everyone else's. Pick a race and a government on the way in — both are permanent.
