Space Engine

[Br0ken]

Space Engine is a free space simulation software that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, starting from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by human astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets!

Oculus Rift support in plans! 😉

I checked out Space Engine forums, and it seems like the dev is unfortunately having trouble getting his hands on a Rift because he's in Russia. Bummer!

Russian customs already passes Rift, if the recipient provides them certain papers. But the Oculus still doesn't send a Rift to Russia.
Although there are various parcel forwarding services like Shipito etc. 😉

Early atmospheric flight test

We should be allowing Russian orders soon, we've already sent a number of packages successfully.

Awesome, dunno how I missed the announcement - guess I lost hope lurking on the forums.. so, immediately threw my wallet at the screen, picked it up, put it away, then donated using paypal. 8-)

It's probably on the forum, but just 'cause I'm lazy: any estimate on a release date for a first OR build?

Awesome news - it will be incredible feeling in Rift

Space engine is already incredible, so that's not new. 😄

I didn't know about Space Engine until I found this thread, so thanks!

It's amazing, I thought Anteworld was cool, but this is really much more. I wish it had a decent spacecraft cockpit view, and Oculus support. I would literally be stuck in my room all day with this.

Good news everyone! SE on Steam Greenlight, please vote for it! 🙂

Rift support is getting closer! Guy on the right is Vladimir Romanyuk (SpaceEngineer), creator of Space Engine. 😉



Meanwhile, a new version of Space Engine is released. Meet the 0.9.7.1!
