Yeah i had to say that, if not me someone else.

Looks like some sporeish exploration game. (space stage anyway)

[General BlackDragon]

From what I have seen, no.

It appears that it will be at least 200 times less boring and over 1 million times as awesome.

[TheJamsh]

reminds me of BSG for some reason

hey someone make a BSG mod? (note to self)

[ScarleTomato]

I could agree with that, but then again i had the guts to get to the center of the galaxy in spore....

That is an extremely ambitious project, aiming for an MMO as well as surface to space transitions.  Normally I'd say their reach far exceeds their grasp, but the programmer/lead appears to be one smart cookie.  I hope they pull off a decent game.

[Nielk1]

They have pulled off a lot of those things already.

[OvermindDL1]

It is not really that ambitious.  The engine they made is the one that I have been wanting to make if I had time (and they happened to make it *exactly* as I detailed how I wanted to make mine).

And yes, they have been putting the occasional tech demo on their page to download and try if you are interested.  Nothing overly special (but then I know how it works).  The special bit will be to see how good of a game they make around the engine.

The engine itself isn't all that ambitious, although it looks to be like a fine piece of work.  Making a respectable MMO of any kind seems to be ambitious to me, but then to support a detailed planet surface and space elements, and all the gameplay details involved, and I'd say the overall scope of the project is quite ambitious, to me anyway.  I wonder how the game design will live up to the engine design.

[OvermindDL1]

We shall see.  They may use procedural generation for most of it like I was doing...
