Congrats from me aswell. Its nice to see that the game got some additional funding to help to get it the vision closer.
Considering, that there only the donation is running and already got 20.000$, shows how much people want it and its aswell significant.

Could be intresting to see, what will happen, when the final crowdfunding where the full game (should we call it pro version with the game mode?) will be offered for a pledge starts. Think the money could be together very fast then. ^^

For the 1000$ money, that could be an effort of different sources linking and presenting the game. It was aswell linked in the Elite Forum as example because of the chancelled offline mode, that a galaxy and even universe is possible on a local machine. I corrected them then, that it is not only a planetarium, but that a single player mode is planed aswell and hinted here. So might be possible that this carried aswell some peoples here.

The info about the new game version is a very nice one aswell. Looking forward to it.

Yes, i have seen the post from reddit. Clearly the main source for the money. But we have to keep linking, if the situation allowes it. As more peoples know from it, as better. But how already stated, i think we are doing really good. smile

Even when i think there could still be a possibility of confusion with Space Engineers. I was aswell hardly able to keep both games apart until i learned to know Space Engine more. But well, changing name would be way worther i think. ^^

Maybe they should change their name, SpaceEngine existed first smile But I agree, specific SpaceEngine software products will need names; SpaceEngine is just the engine.

Youre right. I remember as i saw it first. Years ago. But to this time, there wasn't a nice game planed and it was only a Planetarium software. Think we hadn't even movable ships back there.

For the name of the game, looking forward, what ideas the devs have. biggrin

Perhaps the new trailer on youtube played a role in this sudden load money, too ? It is very beautiful and the dates are nearly matching, too. I remember that the previous one did this effect, too.

0.9.7.2, which by the way will be released soon!


Can't wait to fly through the universe with the space navigator in the next release!
As soon as it's out you can count on the next donation from my side ;-)

Nah. More like it's starting to explode, but in slow motion.





Tips for finding Earth-Like planets: Look for F, G, or K Class stars. M class habitables will almost always be tidelocked. Oceanias can, of course, also be habitable, they just have tiny amounts of land.

I promised myself to donate $10 when I could succesfully put a shuttle into a stable orbit. Took me a long time, but I finally did it! Let's see what the next version's challenge will be for $10 more wink

This is really a dream coming true! Keep up the good work, SpaceEngineer!

Sixth goal reached! $25000 for Linux support!

Thanks to everyone who donated!

This will probably be a 0.9.7.4 version or later, because 0.9.7.3 will be a patch which fixes some major 0.9.7.2 issues.
