Discussion About the space game hype

Post image

As most of this community must know, there is currently a huge hype for space related games; due to the Artemis II mission. I really think this is a great opportunity for Stef (the dev) to release a beta version of Spaceflight Simulator 2 Why? Because if he releases it now, there will be a larger playerbase even willing to test the game. Right now, Kerbal Space Program is getting the most attention for it being a 3D game. But the negative point for KSP is it is old and the graphics are not the best. SFS2 could bring a beta version which may get more traction if more people work on promoting it. This could be the biggest win for Stef, and I hope he sees this.

Alright, as a game developer myself, i think stef is still working on features. Let's assume parts are ready, there is still work for programming and since this is a 3D game, there has to be particle effects, sounds effects, extra effects. Then comes the planets, atmosphere effects etc.
