A Free Space Exploration Game That Needs MUCH More Attention

I don't think anything but "space" is shared in common between Space Engine and Space Engineers. It was released in 2010 and it's gameplay is completely different. There's no "building/crafting" at all in the game ATM, and this is in no way planned to be the main focus. It's an exploration game, more of a "Universe Simulator".

"A video game is an electronic game that involves human interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device"

What do you want to call this lol?

I'm not either. The variety, detail, and scale is interesting. Some planets have life, some don't. All have different landscapes. It's fun finding unique features on planets and suns, exploring different galaxies. The world is generated by the same seed so a friend or someone (for example on /r/spaceengine) can share their find. The game isn't meant (atleast for me) to be played for 3 hours straight at once. I play for a couple of minutes to an hour every couple of days/weeks. Any star you see in the game, you can travel to it and beyond, so you'll never "finish" it. It's relaxing, and the music makes it pretty emotional.

Did you ever go exploring in an RPG, adventure game, open world game, ect. (ex. Skyrim) to find unique dungeons or landscapes or architecture. This is basically the same thing with the universe. However, it's made to be realistic. You get a sense of a scale on the one world you live in, and get to imagine what may be out there that you'll never be able to visit in real life. I don't have any special knowledge about space except some documentaries and the internet, but it fascinates me a lot, so this is why this might appeal to me more than others.

If the developer can complete the "Single player space exploration game" goal successfully, it would probably become the one of the best games I'll ever play. Flight simulation, construction, sandbox, open world, exploration, vastness with detail, and space appeal to me a LOT. Not sure if it will ever complete "Long-Term Goals" with one developer but if it happens successfully with one or a team, it would be insane.
