’s graphics are simply stunning. And that’s just the little tutorial habitat. Which I’ve not yet managed to leave 🤣

Apparently, I need to eat and drink first, which I failed at yesterday. I’d picked up a box which I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to put down 😅

Today I managed to eat and drink. But drinking isn’t correctly advancing the tutorial so all that’s left is to admire the amazing level of detail.

It’s a very beautiful alpha 👌

So I’ve managed to complete the tutorial and leave the habitat. Not only that, I took to the skies, went to orbit and visited another planet.

This is a space simulation, its “realism” and fidelity is astounding. Quotes, because who knows what space flight in the future will be like! It’s certainly believable. And the future is using the metric system, so that’s a win 🤣

Who knows if this will ever come together as a game but boy does it look and feel amazing.

@finestructure Curious, are you on Windows or Linux? I’m looking into giving it a try but the Linux distribution I use doesn’t seem compatible (PopOS)

@redalemeden I'm on Windows! I doubt this will make it to any other platforms but who knows 🤷‍♂️

Make sure you have a decent system (gfx card), because this feels more like a tech demo. There's some gameplay but I think you mostly go there for the look and feel, and that leans heavily on the tech.

@finestructure Thanks! I think my 4070 should be able to handle it but I might need to change distros which might be too much of an ask for now.

@redalemeden 4070 Mobile is what I’ve got!

Couple of things that stood out to me:

• the sound when rocketing up through the atmosphere really delivers a sense of the forces at play - your ship “groans”!
• condensation forms on your ship’s windows, with water starting to run off - it's incredibly immersive
• likewise stepping out of the ship on an ice planet makes your visor fog up and you really feel exposed to the elements

Just really well done, amazing level of detail 👌
