Space Engine - AKA 'inside the mind of Carl Sagan' - Games

[img]http://i.imgur.com/4N4YY.jpg[/img] Space Engine is a free, built-from-scratch procedurally generated simulation of the universe maintained by one astronomer and physicist in his free time. [img]http://i.imgur.com/A0kaB.jpg[/img] It covers the Virgo Supercluster (the one we reside in,) and contains innumerable galaxies, with each star, planet, moon, and onward procedurally generated to a high standard of detail. [img]http://i.imgur.com/Er0X5.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/vmWyh.jpg[/img] Version 1.05 was recently rolled out, which introduced oceanic worlds comprised entirely of liquid water alongside many bugfixes and miscellaneous improvements. [img]http://i.imgur.com/G7xHt.jpg[/img] The nature of the program may seem to discount it from being a game, but the procedural generation it employs creates a host of rare solar arrangements. Seeking these out constitutes a sort of gameplay.

very awesome program [editline]11th January 2012[/editline] I have a few screens here [url]http://imgur.com/a/pLbEP#0[/url]

If I didn't have such a shit GFX card I'd insta DL it.

Oh, another update? Awesome!

There's a thread already somewhere though

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;34168501]Oh, another update? Awesome![/QUOTE] Yeah came out in november

Yeah, there's no way that's going to run on my PC.

Can't wait until 1.06 comes out.

[QUOTE=Rents;34168832]Yeah, there's no way that's going to run on my PC.[/QUOTE] It's way more lenient on low-end systems than you would think

Is this that previously unreleased program I saw a long time ago where you are able to create entire massive planets and explore the terrain in vehicles and such? And also be able to explore space I think.

We already had a thread for this... [editline]11th January 2012[/editline] You should put a download link in the OP, or at least a link to the website [url]http://en.spaceengine.org/[/url]

[QUOTE=Hiurst;34183716]There's already one[/QUOTE] Maybe it shouldn't be wedged between two of the giant pictures.

I must be retarded, I can't find 1.05

There is no 1.05, the most recent version is .95.

This thing is gorgeous. Time to lose hours of my life to it.

i like to pretend im carl sagan whenever i use this

[QUOTE=EragonRulez;34173682]What manner of hell-spawn have I created?[/QUOTE] The weirdest thing was it took me several tries to get this, if I rotated in the wrong manner it would suddenly teleport me several thousand quadrillions of Gigaparsecs away. We just need to find a planet spinning really fast so it's flat, and maneuver a ship into orbit around it in just the right way. Feasible FTL!

Can someone upload just the .rar file? The torrent they give you takes far to long.

I know what I'm doing for the rest of my life.

[QUOTE=Zombii;34184781]There is no 1.05, the most recent version is .95.[/QUOTE] Mm. Thread confused me.

Holy shit, this is amazing. I remember in some games, they say 'if you see an X, you can go there', but this brings a whole new meaning to that! I really can't get over the idea that every single dot is a place that you can go to in this, it's honestly incredible.

How hard is this on your computer?

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;34219006]How hard is this on your computer?[/QUOTE] Lower settings and adjust the config file and any PC can run it. No matter what settings you use I have yet to see this game look anywhere near ugly.

Holy shit, I flew to some distant cloud of starts on autopilot. Looked back to where I was, and I swear to God I had some sort of rush at the fucking distance. This game is so awesome, it transcends my damn mind.

I think I will listen to this while using this program: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H0JDomv8ac[/media]

where's this 1.05 version, I can only see 0.95?
