Players build space ships and space stations of various sizes and utilization (civil and military), pilot ships and perform asteroid mining. Space Engineers utilizes a realistic volumetric-based physics engine: all objects can be assembled, disassembled, damaged and destroyed.[/quote] [B]NOW WITH SURVIVAL![/B] • [B]Features:[/B] [quote] [B]Game modes[/B] - Creative – unlimited resources, instant building, no death - Survival – realistic management of resources and inventory capacity; manual building; death/respawn • [B]Single-player[/B] – you are the sole space engineer • [B]Multiplayer[/B] - Creative and survival mode with your friends - Cooperative and competitive - Privacy customization: offline, private, friends only, public - Max 16 players (this may increase in the future) - Weapons on/off - Copy-paste on/off • [B]Scenarios[/B] - Easy Start 1 – start on an asteroid platform with one large ship and two small ships - Easy Start 2 – start in a green asteroid station with several large and small ships (large scene!) - Lone Survivor – start on an abandoned asteroid platform with no ships - Crashed Red Ship – your mother ship just crashed... - Two Platforms – competitive two-team multi-player world - Asteroids – start in a rescue ship with very limited resources - Empty World – no asteroids, no ships; suitable for creative mode • Ships (small and large) – build and pilot them • Space stations • First-person & Third-person • Drilling / harvesting • Manual building in survival mode – use welder to assemble blocks from components; use grinder to disassemble and reuse components • Deformable and destructible objects – real proportions, mass, storage capacity, integrity • Building blocks - light armor (cube, slope, corner), heavy armor, interior wall, interior light, small cockpit, large cockpit, cargo container(s), drill, ore detector, gravity generator, nuclear reactor, thruster, gyroscope, assembler, medical room, magnetic landing gears, spotlight, catwalk, cover wall, stairs, ramp, window(s), pillar • Magnetic landing gears – attach your small ship on a mother ship • Electricity – all blocks in a grid are wired in an electrical and computer network; electricity is generated by nuclear reactors • Gravity – produced by gravity generators • Rotors – create rotating objects • Refinery – process harvested ore to ingots • Assembler – manufacture components from ingots • Symmetry/Mirroring – useful in creative mode when building structures that require symmetry • Weapons – automatic rifle, small and large explosive warheads, small ship gatling gun, small ship missile launcher • World management – generate new worlds, “save as” to multiple copies, auto-save every 5 minutes (can be turned on/off), edit world settings • 32-bit & 64-bit – 64-bit version expands the amount of objects, ships and asteroids (almost unlimited) • Steam Workshop – share your creations with the Community (upload and download worlds) • Modding - world files, shaders, textures, 3D models • Localized interface (work in progress) – Czech, Danish, Dutch, German, Icelandic, Polish, Spanish-Spain, Spanish-Latin America, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese-Brazil, Estonian, Norwegian, Swedish, Slovak, Ukrainian, Russian • Custom Colors for blocks – Customize your creations by using any color you like [/quote] [b]WORK IN PROGRESS, NOT YET IMPLEMENTED OR TEMPORARILY DISABLED[/b] [quote] Factions – not implemented yet Sounds – only “arcade mode” is implemented and not all sound effects are final Character animations - we are working on an enhanced version with more accurate first-person astronaut mode Many of the 3D models are “concept models” only, with no textures and no polygon optimizations Conveyor, antenna/radar – not operational yet Deformations of non-armor blocks are still work-in-progress Gravity affects astronaut and small objects only (we haven’t decided yet whether gravity should affect ships and asteroids) Asteroids and space stations are immovable (we haven’t decided yet whether they should move and rotate) Large weapons (gatling turret, missile turret) - not operational yet No joystick and Xbox controller support [/quote] [b]How much does it cost?[/b] [I]£11.99, €13.99, $14.99 [/I] [b]What are the System Requirements?[/b] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34938612/minspec.JPG[/t] [B]Survival Tutorial[/B] [media] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5PgmvtRHZU[/url][/media] [URL="http://www.spaceengineersgame.com/videos.html"]Other Tutorials[/URL] [B]More details[/B] [quote] In 2002, Marek Rosa got an idea of making a physics-sandbox game where players construct static and dynamic structures in a grid-like environment, with realistic physics and realistic volumetricity. This idea was inspired by his childhood days, spent with the popular construction toys of LEGO and LEGO TECHNIC. Back then the technology wasn’t ready for a full-scale approach, so the first phase of his “master plan” focused only on dynamic voxel terrain. This resulted in our first title, “Miner Wars 2081”. The second phase is happening right now and is materialized in “Space Engineers”. Space Engineers is inspired by reality and by how things work. Think about modern-day NASA technology extrapolated 60 years into the future. Space Engineers strives to follow the laws of physics and doesn't use technologies that wouldn't be feasible in the near future. To be honest, for the sake of intuitive gameplay, we had to make a few sacrifices to “realism elitism” - artificial gravity, max velocity, reactor efficacy, static grid, immovable asteroids, etc. Space Engineers concentrates on construction aspects, but can be played as a tactical shooter as well. We expect players to avoid engaging in direct man-to-man combat and instead use their creativity and engineering skills to build war machines and fortifications. Space Engineers shouldn’t be about troops; it should be about the machinery you build. When can I get it? Space Engineers is in its alpha stage of development and will be available on Steam Early Access on October 23, 2013.[/quote] [b]WORKING FEATURES (as of January 21, 2014) [/b] [Quote] Building in creative mode – unlimited resources and instant construction Deformable and destructible objects - real proportions, mass, storage capacity, integrity 64-bit support for larger scale Small and large ships – build them, pilot them and crush them Weapons (work in progress) - miniguns, missiles, explosives Space stations Building blocks - light armor (cube, slope, corner), interior wall, small ship cockpit, large ship cockpit, gatling turret, missile turret, cargo container(s), gravity generator, nuclear reactor, thruster, gyroscope, refinery, assembler, drill, reflector light, interior light, catwalk, cover wall, door, stairs, ramp, ladder, small ship gatling, small ship missile launcher, landing gear, window(s), explosive cube, pillar, medical room First-person & Third-person Character animations - run, sprint, jump, climb ladder, crouch, fall, jetpack World management - Create new world - Save as - branch to multiple copies - Auto-save – saves the state of your world every 5 minutes and on exit; can be turned on/off - Edit Settings Copying and pasting objects Multiplayer (very barebones, work in progress) - connect to a server or create your own, up to 16 players[/quote] [B]Now, the Media, just look at it.[/B] [img]http://www.spaceengineersgame.com/uploads/2/1/9/6/21961362/3796317_orig.jpg[/img] [img]https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1380839_199588003554836_644065463_n.jpg[/img] [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/1017032_193128837534086_188184431_n.jpg[/img] [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/1236939_193128810867422_397734546_n.jpg[/img] [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/540693_193128787534091_451620220_n.jpg[/img] [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/993698_197392313774405_1524933145_n.jpg [/img] [img]http://www.spaceengineersgame.com/uploads/2/1/9/6/21961362/3754958_orig.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.spaceengineersgame.com/uploads/2/1/9/6/21961362/5385391_orig.jpg[/img] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlaY2ELJ2qk&feature=c4-overview&list=UUiIu5_NeaCkv3Nt8R5u7pNg [/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3b9e_KWO-I&feature=c4-overview&list=UUiIu5_NeaCkv3Nt8R5u7pNg [/media] [B]Right now the game is updated often, and new features are added every week!

2nd video. 1:46. Actual gravity in ships. Instabuy.

I saw this before, and I was pretty hyped about it then, too. They plan to add a lot of depth to the game too. Power and o2 and shit. And modding support. Yeah, baby

i approve and want

Amazing concept. Interested in how it's going to work out, I guess we'll find out in 10 days.

I want this fucker so badly.

I can imagine making boarding craft with very strong armor and a spiked shape so that they can puncture an enemy asteroid base or big ship and just take over command. I really hope this game will become something amazing.

[i]ERECTION OVERWHELMING[/i] I cannot wait for the 23rd.

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);42503513]I can imagine making boarding craft with very strong armor and a spiked shape so that they can puncture an enemy asteroid base or big ship and just take over command. I really hope this game will become something amazing.[/QUOTE] if this is possible ill buy it twice

[QUOTE=fskman;42504079]if this is possible ill buy it twice[/QUOTE] ship smashing is in, which is basically 90% of what you require. Now you just need armor which is very tough and some doors so your ship doesn't get fucked up. It'd be lovely if someone tries to board your ship in a badly made boarding vessel, and you'd just see their ship turn into a pancake against your armor. [editline]12th October 2013[/editline] So many cool things can be done with a damage system like this. You can just make custom missiles (kamikaze fighter ships) of varying shapes and sizes.

Design a ship with a long sharp tip that pierces armour, make it so there is a door before the tip and make it long enough so that on average by the time it breaches the other hull the door is exposed. Then you just open up the door and walk right in.

it kind of reminds me of Space Station 13 in the sense that you're relying on your ingenuity to do crazy stuff, like building weirdly specific tools then weaponizing them, or taking on five dudes with nothing but a toolbox and an overly elaborate plan

Already saving money to buy this come the 23rd. Hopefully not too expensive, I don't think they have announced a price yet, maybe they'll sell cheaper while in development.

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;42505467]Already saving money to buy this come the 28th. Hopefully not too expensive, I don't think they have announced a price yet, maybe they'll sell cheaper while in development.[/QUOTE] On the site it says $15

[QUOTE=BlackBird77;42505484]On the site it says $15[/QUOTE] Oh that's nice.

go watch that gravity movie and then come back saying you want space engineers i'd probably pee my pants and cry if someone rams their ship in to mine and leaves me for stranded in deep space

I want this. How feasible are fighter type craft? I'm an idiot, I watched the video with the fighter in it where the guy repairs it. What does he land on, a capital ship or a static base?

I hope it's stable enough physics wise to have cap-ship-borne fighters. I don't think I'd play any other game if that were the case.

[QUOTE=Redswandir;42505882]I think that's a base, iirc it was on an asteroid and that shit's static[/QUOTE] Static? I don't know. It can be destroyed, and for all we know asteroids could have similar physics and be moved around. (Flying asteroid ships, hell yes.)

Right, well, this looks amazing. Can't wait for it to come out. Thank you OP, and thank you fellow posters for bumping this enough for me to see.

Do we know if the ships and shit are completely built from our imaginations and the materials we gather, or are they sort of pre-made blueprints that we just fill with a certain number of materials?

Oh god, this is fucking awesome, I just fucking came from the awesomeness of this shit.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;42506693]Do we know if the ships and shit are completely built from our imaginations and the materials we gather, or are they sort of pre-made blueprints that we just fill with a certain number of materials?[/QUOTE] I can't remember where but someone in the other thread found a quote by the developer that ship design is freeform. There is a video somewhere too. [editline]13th October 2013[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GGK5NMkMk[/media] Old video but shows him building some stuff.

This looks pretty cool but there are already lots of block related spaceship building games; I hope this one has something to make it a bit different.

I will only buy this if it has TTS along the lines of Moonbase Alpha.

[editline]13th October 2013[/editline] Watched all the videos, this game looks goddamn awesome; pretty much exactly the sort of game i've been waiting for. Definitely getting this.

In starmade, your character just felt like a means of getting from one ship to the next, while here it looks like it'd be just as fun to have a shootout on foot as in a ship.

Just watched the trailers for this, I have never been this excited for a sandbox game!
