What do You think about it?
I hope that procedurall backgrounds will work with it :D


BTW I also hope that planets will be represented better at far distances than they're now.

Come on guys, all aboard the hype train.

Maybe they can get someone to redo the procedural skyboxes and remove all stars.

That, sir, is game development progress.

Awesome - so in the future, the stars will all be actual objects...like suns or planets.

Ah, somebody decided to post that picture Cal leaked last night in chat. Wonderful.

I think this is going to be a fantastic addition to the game.

this looks so awesome! little by little this game seems to be turning into something kind of like the space engine, but better! cuz you can actually play in the universe! plus theres just something special about voxels.....

cant wait to see what other goodies are in store for "the universe update"!

Do you know what this actually means? No? Well, in that case I'll tell you!
This means that it is very likely that we will see all the different galaxies!

Ps: I hope they'll add black holes (with a purpose, and the purpose being that it will suck things towards it) and nebulae that do something (think of more e/s and friction). I also really want moons (maybe double disks, or perhaps the same as planets, but smaller and with different materials).

I also hope we'll get more config options for the universe, i.e. asteroid size/quantity per sector/amount of sectors they're in, and some options for galaxies.
