I do miss the visual drama of the old version, but it’s cool to know it’s now based on what a real observer would experience according to general relativity

Yeah, me too. If was almost scary, but a nice experience. Too bad we will never have it back:)

Hello guys, it's a long time I don't do this thing in Space Engine: entering inside a black hole, and I remember the whole "outside" stretching in a circle smaller and smaller and also brighter. Right now if I cross the event horizon everything suddenly turns white everywhere I look. Do you think ...

As a game developer myself, I really struggle doing post updating the community. Is much harder (for me) than developing the game itself. Because most of the time you just work on code and things you have no way to show. You literally have nothing to show, but maybe you wrote 2000 lines code or you ...

Sorry for necroposting, but I've tried countless background images and I'm never satisfied. I finally find an image that I like. This combination of Windows color and background image is amazing.

P.S. I love Windows 11, even if I wasn't sure in the beginning.

I never understood terraforming the icey worlds in the outer solar system, it would just melt the surfaces and make ocean worlds with no solid ground to stand on.

I think some humans in history have lived their whole life on the sea so I guess it wouldn't be such a problem for us. So maybe it ...

I just bought a whole new PC.
It has 32 GB of ram DDR5, RTX 4070 Super and an i7-14700KF.

Man... SpaceEngine's terrain generation is instantaneous 😭

It's probably due to the combo of good CPU, RAM and GPU, but I'm not sure what's the exact impact of the first two.

My latest configuration was 8 ...

I had a crazy dream about SpaceEngine lol
I was showing it to a friend of mine and I went at the very edge of the universe because I saw something very bright and big. When I went there I saw a giant star several times bigger than any star we ever discovered, and it was not fussy, it was instead ...

When I first ran this software, I was very shocked. It's an incredible software. I can travel in the infinite universe and enjoy the infinite scenery on the planet.
I hope there will be more software things in the future that I like, such as controlling a character to run on a planet, which is ...

Yeah like almost every forum except development ones.
It doesn't mean the community is dead but it's just not interacting anymore or moved to other platforms (like Reddit).
Hopefully with the next release some new people will discover the software

Dang that's an extremely puffy planet. It's density is the same as graphene aerogel! It's like a giant hot cloud.

Suuuuup, any significant updates? Like landscape's shadows?


Conversion to Vulkan from the existing OpenGL implementation is ongoing, a necessary step towards visually significant updates.
As you may have noticed, catalog updates and fixes have been the focus of latest updates on Steam.
And ...

I've been playing a lot of Gran Turismo 7 lately, I also bought Le Mans Ultimate but unfortunately doesn't work properly on my PC... any more sim racing enthusiasts?

The largest procedural planet has a diameter of 773,091.06 K

Interesting, I'd like to know more about it

I will never forget the dream I had at age 8 during a fever due to hypothermia. At first I swam in an ocean full of corpses after the flood, then I saw the Earth without water in space, and then I flew far from the sun and in complete darkness I saw a wandering planet as huge as a star. It was ...
