Saunders Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Ya'll should check out this out. One of the guys on the small team that made it is on another site I frequent. It's a space/planet exploration game. It just launched as early access (they're still adding features and polishing) but it's pretty rad. My kids love it. I've got it on Steam, and I'm waiting until it's fully completed to buy again on Xbox. 1 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 That looks great! Is it very graphics intensive? Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 That looks great! Is it very graphics intensive? No, it's a voxel based engine. Not too demanding at all. MINIMUM: OS: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 Processor: X64 Dual Core CPU, 2+ GHz Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics: Discrete Non Mobile GPU with 1 GB Ram DirectX: Version 11 Storage: 2 GB available space Sound Card: Any Additional Notes: Internet connection required for online multiplayer http://store.steampowered.com/app/361420/ I love the artstyle, and my kids are absolutely enthralled. It's basically minecraft in space (with less features obviously). Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Sweet. I'll give it a try over the holidays, most likely. I'm at the minimum for, well, most of them... Quote Link to comment

Keep in mind it's early access, so there's bugs and lots of optimization to do. But it scratches the space/exploration itch. And it has co-op. If you end up grabbing it and wanna do some MP, hit me up. My steam id is: http://steamcommunity.com/id/darksaunders/ Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Is it just exploration and building right now? Or is there danger (e.g. native flora/fauna, PvP) in the game? Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Is it just exploration and building right now? Or is there danger (e.g. native flora/fauna, PvP) in the game? The biggest danger right now is random storms, native plantlife, and dying from falling (which can happen) or running out of oxygen. It's a survival game with base building and exploration as the key elements (you can planet hop within your solar system right now). Also, it's an early access game, so they plan on adding features. Here's a nice summary of some of those things: http://blog.astroneer.space/p/roadmap/ Quote Link to comment
