The hype is real, I remember one of the devs was in chat late one night (I think it was Bench) made some hints about large fauna in space. Glad to see it was not just a tease.

I don't know, seeing space whales collide with each other and then blowing up randomly would be fun for a while? :P

Colliding? Maybe. Same for the wiggle dances. But none of that flying backwards stuff, aye?

Also might be fun to see a pirate station call for reinforcements and get whales instead.

Don't know how I feel about such smooth, rounded design in a voxel game...

what if that is voxels, voxels so small you can not see them... or maybe the whale is just effin huge

in any case, i will soon need to complete the Perquod II

or a working whale harness

Well, humor aside, it would then have to be so big it wouldn't fit into a single sector, and hence would do terrible things to servers.

I, for one, am happy that we're going with the solid and smooth sci-fi look rather than the "Minecraft Clone" look, or the Cubeworld look. We have enough wedge shapes that it's justifiable.

Yeah, but I'd really like to see an update to our astronauts if we go that route. I don't particularly like the blocky pilots, especially if all the other life in the universe is going to be round.

A cartoony style of character is definitely necessary, and I love the general feel that Dave has. None of that "super realistic" Space Engineers bullshit. Perhaps a smoother feeling character would work out well, perhaps not. But making it very simple to make a skin for whatever character model we have is absolutely necessary for personal customization reasons.

You forgot the random ballerina spinning!

Wasnt that part of the dance? :p

Oh yea, you're right :P

Ballerina space whales colliding into each other and exploding.
