On Monday, Keen Software House (the developers of Miner Wars 2081) have unveiled a brand new game called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/SpaceEngineersGame\" title=\"The official YouTube channel\" target=\"_blank\">Space Engineers<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>The title pretty much sets the game. There is no plot. It&#8217;s a giant Sandbox in space, based off of the Miner Wars 2081 universe (asteroids instead of planets). It will be a 1st\/3rd player game.<br \/>\nBased off of games like Garry&#8217;s Mod and Little Big Planet 1 and 2, you&#8217;re a engineer in Space, who can build stuff like ships and space stations. There is currently no limit of how big a ship can be.<\/p>\n<p>The main developer, strives for realism. Everything you build, will have a purpose. Engines, Lighting, and Thrusters won&#8217;t be powered by a magical source; you&#8217;ll have to actually wire your ship up to do so, to a Reactor of some kind. That reactor is going to need something to keep it going, which you have to provide. There will be no fake interiors or anything like that.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s like imagining Kerbal Space Program, in realistic mode, where you really have to do your homework to get off the ground. But since you&#8217;re already in space, you don&#8217;t have to worry about that.<\/p>\n<p>To build ships and stuff, there is no separate world builder. As soon as you start playing, you can build stuff.<br \/>\nYou can have a network of Space Stations, or even build up a fleet of interplanetary ships with actual interiors. You decide.<br \/>\nAnd the best thing of all? Realistic collisions like Rigs of Rods. And you can have cockpits that can go into 1st person. And you don&#8217;t live in a ship anymore. You can get out and jetpack around. It literally is, the ultimate Sandbox.<\/p>\n<p>A Steam Early Access release is scheduled to be on October 23rd this year, but unknown of the price. The full version of the game won&#8217;t be anytime soon. I just wonder if there&#8217;s going to be Solar Flares, where you got to put reinforced armor to protect your ships and stations from solar wind.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re asking for that awaited sequel for Miner Wars 2081, sorry to say that the wait continues. The reason the developers are doing this, to show they&#8217;re getting better at making games. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDIT: Steam Early Access (aka an Alpha launch) is scheduled to be October 23rd, 2013.
