What VRAGE3 feature are you most hyped about? Let me know! Personally, I'm looking forward to the new destruction stuff!
Very exciting to hear.
I loved the concept of SE, but felt it was more of a tech demo than a game, with not much to do, and an engine that didnt like us making a lot of buildings, so we couldnt just go minecraft on it.
But this? Now I can picture actually building like a city, or some huge vehicle, and actually enjoy it without the game freaking out so quickly. 😛
honestly the reason they did putting blueprints on the hotbar was so people wouldn't have to build their corridors 25mm at a time for 100m and go insane
I'm still pretty salty about how they screwed everyone with medieval engineers. It's kind of hard to trust them after that.
What 5 developers can make in 5 months, 70 developers can make in 70 months 😁
Unified Grid System is very exciting, but to be entirely honest, I would like a little more to do as infantry. A little exansion of hand weapons and things to use them on.
I want to see how ludicrous jetpack gunfights in 0G can be, though I don't know how likely that is in a game so focused on building things.
im just afraid of clang, i want this only problem to be fixed
Still no NPCs, animals or plants? Not interested. I want it to be like Empyrion. The Engineers world is dead and empty, I don't want to play in that.
I am currently playing Empyrion with a friend, and the fact that there's an actually story and quests in the world really gives you motivation to continue. Space Engineers just felt so lacking because it was literally just a sandbox… Yes there are scenarios, but they're usually not THAT thorough.
I just want a mix of both, because I love the detail and more difficult nature of Space Engineers, but a lot of the features and of course story of Empyrion.
Also, in Empyrion planets at least for a little alive. Would be nice to see that in SE2.
I still think my PC is going to burst into flames.
Do you know if it will be coming to PS5??
4:18 holy COW
I’m….. just speechless
I’m astonished as a very starter game dev (only doing visual scripting in unity) I Cana understand how INCREDIBLY hard this game whould be to make so seeing things like the new building system I’m praising them
I hope to see this game in my lifetime/I hope it isn’t a GTA6 scenario
imagine having a war with a faction and strategically destroying a nearby dam to flood their base
A bit late but, with water, we can make some anfibious vehicles, submarines and spaceships who can actually work in water too hehehe. (Ignore any error in my grammar pls)
I really want to see them add sonic booms and dynamic sounds for in atmosphere ship travel. How badass a sonic boom roaring down as your friend flies their ship in.
I kept buying DLCs in a hope they would fund exactly this. NOT disappointed. This is EXACTLY what we wanted and exactly what we needed.
New engine development, purpose built like this is extremely complicated and involved process. I am so glad they persisted.
You know, regarding destruction, one thing I would like to see is this: if the voxel is of a soft type like dirt or sand, instead of just disappearing, it actually displaces around the crashing ship – maybe not in real time, but afterwards, a mound just forms around and over the craft.
Ok so I used to play Space Engineers when I was a kid (like 14) and I still have it in my steam library. (I don’t play it anymore as I switched on to playing KSP with almost 2k hours)
Please, please PLEASE tell me when this new game will be released as I don’t have time to watch the vid.
I think space engineers 2 will become a thing. I refuse to believe my pc could run it tho😂
What ? They want to sell us space engineer 2 ; but we never got space engineer 1 in the first place…
I'm well over 2k hours into SE mostly doing faction pvp stuff, so I have to say I'm incredibly glad to hear we can hopefully port our grids over, here's hoping moving mods over isn't too hard either
