Greetings people of earth, It's a multiplayer space simulator featuring accurate space physics including General relativity and orbit simulation with real-life gravity maths. The concept is an open-world full-scale Galaxy where you can walk on planets, survive in a hostile environment, find resources, build a spaceship and fly to another planet seamlessly, no loading screen ! The fun part is the actual challenge of managing the spaceship's systems (futuristic technologies) in a very realistic way , alone or in a co-operative way with your friends. The official website : Galaxy4D.com Here's a demo featuring the graphical aspect of the game : Let me know what you think I figured we should post a more detailed version of the game's description, here we go. The game concept is similar to Kerbal space program as you can build a spacecraft, seamlessly travel from planet to planet then walk on the ground, with some key differences : * There will be vegetation and aliens on the surface depending on the type of planet Also, it will be like KSP for planets orbiting each-other, except nothing is "on rails", everything is calculated in real-time using Gravity. There are no absolute positions or velocities, everything is relative to something else and always moving. No "map-view", it will be an instrument in the spacecraft with orbit visualisation according to relative velocity and altitude. The main challenge is to pick up resources on a planet, (try to) build a spacecraft, takeoff and visit other places in the galaxy, mine asteroids and other planets, harvest energy from stars, improve and manage your spaceship's systems and most importantly: Survive ! All of this you can do alone or in a co-operative way with your friends. Some planets are hostile, very cold or very hot, radiation, bad weather, different gravity, etc. We are aiming for a kind of gameplay experience that will give you the feeling it's real. The game is natively and already multiplayer-capable, in a similar way to Minecraft. When starting a Solo game, you can play offline as a single player. You can also host a standalone server by simply launching the game via command line (for Linux and Windows). What has been done so far and is 100% working right now : As for the final release, we can't tell an exact date yet. I am just going to say that we might release an Alpha version before the end of 2015. We've been working on the concept for 5 years and started to code 2 years ago, but announced it to the public two days ago. But we need followers and future supporters before making a Kickstarter page.
