Its really cool to see all these space sims getting made!

About 10yrs ago I remember seeing a youtube video go up showing a very early concept of the infinity engine.

Fast foward to today and we are getting closer to seeing them get a game!

Oh man, I heard "Infinity: Battlescape" and thought, "Surely, you can't mean *the* Infinity? I thought that was vaporware."

This is exciting to see this actually progressing forward! And incredibly impressive!

Someone linked to their kickstarter in Discord the day it launched as well as someone streaming the prototype build. I really enjoyed watching it - seems like it could be an interesting game. I'm keeping my eye on it.

I like that. Thanks M. That seamlessness is really great.

Rolling in for re-entry kind of reminded me of The 5th Element-



Except you would be The 1st Testie-

Backed, thanks! I've got far too many eggs in the Star Citizen basket, but I still want to support the genre. Some pretty nice LOD technology in that engine, and I'd love to see it used in future games if nothing else. Best of luck to them!

Now I wonder how detailed the Star Citizen planet side and the Atmosphere entry will be in comparison to this.

This is looking pretty good. Not ready to back another game, but looks awesome.

Most speculation about planetary entry in Star Citizen has been that it will be not much more than a cinematic. I'm fairly certain that planets are currently not modeled to be as thorough as Infinity.
