I couldn't find a thread on this game. I know it's not out yet but I'm super excited for it. Is anyone else as excited as I am. I'm actually more looking forward to this game than even ff7. Crazy I know. I can't wait to explore an almost endless procedural universe.

No release date so far which irks me but I can understand the creator wants perfection upon releasing this game.

I'm skeptical about the game; I mean I can see the potential and shit, but I'm just afraid it'll get very repetitive, very fast. I'm getting a Spore vibe from it; great in theory, kinda meh in practice. They really really really need to do it right in the actual 'game' part of the game; generating planets and such is one thing, fitting it into a game is a whole different... game. Bad pun, sorry

Atticus · 08/09/2015

Yeah I hope it doesn't end up like spore. I think the creator is pretty worried about that as well. He has bots flying around his universe now taking random pictures. And then from this he tweaks his equations. I wouldn't mind seeing all those pictures...

Ami · 08/09/2015

I'm not really into those kind of games, but this has my attention and I agree with Yop about repetitiveness. I'll definitely get it, although perhaps not on release date (it's rare I do with any game these days).

So is the game actually ever coming out?

Ami · 10/06/2015

No release date yet, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say near the end of 2016, if not 17.

Interslicery · 10/06/2015

I'd say maybe around the end of 2015-early 2016. The release date was supposed to come out a few months ago, but had to be delayed because there was a copyright issue going on.
From everything I've seen Sean Murray say, he wouldnt announce the release date until he's sure it's going to come out then, and I can't see him putting too much time between when he announces it and when it's released because that leaves too much time for something to go wrong.

I could be wrong of course, that's just the impression I get off of the various interviews I've seen from him.

Flintlock · 10/06/2015

I have to agree with the others in this thread: while I think the concept is incredible, I can't get excited about the game until I really understand what drives the gameplay. If it's just exploring for exploring's sake, I'll probably give it a miss. Also, I'm a little disappointed that, aside from naming things, changes made to planets are only temporary. I understand the problem of syncing the state of 18 quintillion planets, but still, it makes the player's actions feel less meaningful. If I make something really cool - or even fuck a whole planet up - it would be exciting to think that someone else might find it someday and think, "wow", or "what the hell happened here?"

Ami · 10/06/2015

I'm somewhat hyped for it because it looks pretty and promising, but I also agree with Flint. It's also something that's not necessarily copying anything on the market, too. Hopefully, a release date will be announced soon with some more details.

***Lex*** · 10/06/2015

I wouldn't say I'm "excited" for this game, but I'll probably get it as long as it debuts at a reasonable price and has more than exploration. Although tbh I find the exploration aspect pretty cool on its own.

Yeah, but only for a short while; I think an apt comparison would be to play Spore, but only the 5th stage where you can fly around randomly generated worlds / species and not actually do anything.

***Lex*** · 03/03/2016

Another one that's near impossible to find using the TLS search

anyway, official release date finally: 22nd June.

EDIT: I still think that dev guy is hot. Especially when he starts talking about his love of maths <3

I'm really curious about this game and going to keep my eye on it. Just have to say though, that box cover art is gorgeous. <3
