Space Sandbox Voxel game in development - StarMade

Closed

Instead of ranting about how much I already love this game, even though it is only in alpha, I'll just give you a youtube link and the website.

Looks decent enough, though not as much as some of these several other similar space sims coming out soon. Neat we can already try this one though.

I do tend to hate these cycles where we don't see a single decent game of a genre, then out of fucking now where we get bombarded by 4 or more of the same kind, all in parallel development. Most recently with the FPS zombie survival sandbox genre, now space sim. Both severely needed more, but all at the same time makes you have to choose one or the others, splitting potential player base.

Best space sim being made right now, for me, is Star Citizen. Voxel/procedural generation would be Starforge (though not strictly space sim) or potentially Notch's 0x10c.

Out of the games you listed, 0x10c is the only one that really looks similar. While Starforge is sci-fi, it lacks any space elements as far as I've seen. Star Citizen looks good in my opinion, but it's got a pretty different feel to it than this game.

As I said, best space sim would be Star Citizen, not specifically voxel/procedural generation.

Starforge let's you build/travel all the way into space and plans to have space vessels, and in the end hopes to create infinite procedurally generated planets in an endless universe. Though, the latter will probably not see the light of day for a long time; if ever.

So basically it's another Minecraft clone but in Space?

Minecraft was not the first voxel game. That's like saying any new first person shooter is a CoD clone.
