Doing my part for the cause at GOG.com

The response has been great! Maybe some of you might want to "pretend" you just found SE and post on the thread I started? wink

PS: Vladimir, once this reaches game status, GOG might be a great place to look into distribution. GOG was founded by CD Projekt Red who did The Witcher series. Its original focus was to ressurect old games, make them playable on modern systems and sell them DRM free. Now they are branching out into new indie and smaller development releases. GOG has an excellent community. Just a thought as you continue to create the most stunning piece of software I have ever encountered!

I suggested my friends to try this program, but unfortunately this is a program for amateur astronomers, so the users of this forum are mostly amateur astronomers biggrin

I posted in some forums articles about SE but they banned me for spam D:

(still don't know why everyone is doing this...)

Salvo,

With all due respect, Space Engine is not a program meant exclusively for amateur astronomers mi fratre! People do not need to know the difference between a main sequence star and a neutron star to use SE. SE is a an experience for people that want to explore, to create internal narratives about places real and imagined, and to capture screenshots of breathtaking places they have visited. Yes I am an amateur astronomer but most of the time when I am exploring SE, I am exploring as an artist and some times just as a person who wants to revel in the wonder that we call imagination.

Namaste,
Vlad

I never written an article about SE, but i just mentioned it into topics (very rarely), but just for this they banned me, not fair... dry

I gave Space Engine a small mention in a presentation to the class at college, afterwards some people expressed interest, asked me a bit more about it, and said they would try it, which was pretty cool.

That's very good. I'd love to do something similar if the opportunity ever arises. smile

I have at least shared S.E. with several of my friends. Usually responses are generic "That's cool/neat/pretty" but one friend took immediate interest and said it could be a great inspirational tool for her sci-fi writing.

I got most of the boys (the girls seem to think it is a nerdy waste of time) in my class to get space engine and we have airsoft wars over the stars in pleiades.

Actually, now that I think of it. Does Space Engine have a DeviantArt page? It would do well on publicity.

No, and I don't see one being made any time soon. I don't think it would make too much sense to create and maintain such a page. People don't typically go to DA to seek out info on software projects...

Now, but like many folks do with SpaceEngine, they may stumble upon it. :P
And people who click the pictures are most probably interested in nice space images.

Well, by that logic we should be establishing SE pages and profiles on literally every social networking site there is. This is clearly impractical.

Also, I'm moving this discussion to the Spread the Word thread, as it is off topic here.

Scott Manley is (no offense to him, I think he's great!) such an SE noob. Also, I facepalmed on him not recognizing the Large Magellanic Cloud wacko Though he did better this time, I actually made it through 11 minutes of the video before I couldn't take any more. Maybe it's because 0.97 is so good-looking smile
