I was working at an office when I discovered this years ago. I didn't have a computer at home at the time because I had just moved across the world, and it hadn't arrived yet. I loved Space Engine so much that I stayed overnight at the office a few times just to play around with it.
@Lucas Almeida you can save for a decent pc build that can run spaceengine, and also you should get steam version since it gets updates and bug fixes, it’s worth buying if you really like space.
@@thegreathadoken6808 Yeah, I already have this program! 😄 It's incredible! Some bad points, but in fact an awesome program! I have been enjoying it a lot! Waiting for the next updates!
I also like how it's literally the only game in existence that presents HEIGHT properly...like standing on some really tall mountain really makes you realize and feel and height up you are, which no other game does.
I havent truly appreciated how CRAZY AMAZING this game/sim is until I watched your video.... I can't believe that Space Engine is actually a thing... WOW.
If every human alive today had a copy of Space Engine, they would have each to visit about 500 stars per second for their entire lives, assuming an 80 year life span, to see every star in the universe.
Actually the estimated number of stars in the observable universe is of 10^24, so the actual number would be of about 52000 stars per second per person in the world for their entire lifes (80 years).
Your voice is fascinating. So elegant and so relaxing. I could spend hours listening to it. I'd love a podcast of some sci-fi stories with your voice. Would you consider it?
Is this game like a sandbox game? Can you crash planets together? Or is it simply a beautiful way to view the universe, if so I'll still buy it. Just want to know.
@@phasus2997 nope it's not a sandbox you can explore tons, of plants, galaxies, etc I there's like 250billion plants in SE, you can also create own plant, change a planet names and that's it I think but the scenery omg it's really good 👍👍
I like to think that some writer will be able to use this to more easily craft a sci-fi story set in the future and actually get an accurate idea about travel times and distances between which ever worlds they opt to write about.. ;)
A group of friends and I are actually in the making of a hard-science series using Space Engine and concept art to tell a story about space exploration in the 21st century, beginning with the Artemis program, and all through the eyes of a fictional character. Hopefully it will be awesome!
This would be a film makers dream. HDR mode looks almost photo realistic if you shoot it properly it could look as good or better than older sci-fi shows or movies.
Extremly beatiful! Don't have a pc yet but once I'm gonna get one, I'll definatly buy a copy of Space Engine. It also seems great for content creation or just creating a ton of cool unique wallpapers
The crazy thing is during the video there is no way he could just find earth again, you and everyone else we know is just on one of the moving lights he passed... everything we know on just one of those lights- Wow.
gas giants give me this feeling for some reason. They're beautiful, but also really ominous and I can't help but feel really weird whenever I see one, especially if it's getting closer
I like that it has VR, but the support is a bit quirky. Gonna put it on the shelf for now and hope it improves. Have already used SpaceEngine a while back and know what it is capable of.
Elite makes me go "woah" every now and then and contemplate the possibility of interstellar travel.... This is just simply giving me an existential crisis!
@@su238als i have 8 gb ram but my vga is probably not decent enough... my vga is amd radeon vega 8 mobile graphic... its dedicated graphic memory is only 1 gb.. what do u think?? Is it decent enough to run SE?? :(
there are three games essential to learning, hands on, about the universe and they go as followed: -Space Engine for learning about the real universe -Universe Sandbox 2 For creating your own system and playing around with physics -Kerbel Space Program (KSP 2 if its out by the time your reading this comment) for learning about fight mechanics and real space travel
Bethesda is utilizing a similar feel to space engine when creating star field except its smaller yet has years and years of hand crafted worlds to explore.
idc what people say this is a great game even alot of people dont like it and idk why honestly its great its the only game where you can explore the entire universe
imagine accidentally finding life on another planet randomly generated in this programm XDD But jokes aside, it would be the craziest easteregg of all times putting some aliens on a single planet in this universe and someone in a few years finding it by accident XDDDDDDD
It’d be nice if you could find aliens! I mean, hundreds of billion of galaxies With hundreds of millions of stars With hundreds of thousands of planets. It’s impossible for other life to not exist!!
my space engine doesnt even start when clicking on the exe. I have win10 64 bit. I tried compatibility mode and running as admin but it doesnt help. any ideas?
Look stunning, just taken the old version down 0.9.8 what size is your copy channelholder?.. wondering about how much HD pack's you been filling onto it.?
Everyone seeing this - Space Engine is now on Steam! You don't have to buy it, but the more people add it to their Wishlist, the more people will see it on Steam. So if you want to spread awareness of the Space Engine, add it to your Wishlist now!

My dream is to play/use this program. 😌
But it's so hard to have it!😳

@@lucasalmeida212 One day, my friend.
Hey, 2 years have gone by, maybe you got one already!
@@thegreathadoken6808 Yeah, I already have this program! 😄
It's incredible! Some bad points, but in fact an awesome program! I have been enjoying it a lot! Waiting for the next updates!
I love how this game presents scale, especially at intergalactic distances.
Space Engine is great... just its not a game :)
And it's absolutely breathtaking in VR if you ever get a chance to try!
I also like how it's literally the only game in existence that presents HEIGHT properly...like standing on some really tall mountain really makes you realize and feel and height up you are, which no other game does.
@@LaVirek Came here to destroy your comment, but realized you're one of those "Fortnite is a good game" people.
@@mnorbert4188 what did they do wrong? They probably meant it's great and it's not a game it's better than a game.
Coolest simulation ever created
Ikr it's the best space sim ever made
@レイス there is an older version that is free
We're all living in a really advanced higher dimensional version of this program. :)
Yes. 😊
I'm always 1 late to triple number likes... 111 likes, I'm 112
We all live in Space Engine version 1.0 confirmed.
I'm unsure but its a very very logical explanation as we discover what technology can do how would we ever even know if we are a simulated species 🤔
:)
I love Space Engine, I probably spend close to 3 hours a day just exploring but there's still so much to see
Damn 3 hours a day 😯
That realistic camera mode is absolutely stunning.
I didn't know this game had realistic picture settings. That is absolutely beautiful. You should make a whole video with just that setting activated.
I love at the beginning when we see Orion. Flying through it and seeing which stars are closer it’s simply breathtaking
How do you setup a party in space??? You planet!
badum-tss
Well played sir...well played
Oh my god... y'know where the door is, right?

@@HAL90000 Fair enough. I was working off 100bn galaxies each with 100bn stars - 10^22 stars.
@@bujin1977 Yeah I guess they're both just rough estimates so reality might be really different, but in the range of sextillion to septillion stars
@@HAL90000 Yup. Still going to have to be very busy clicking either way! :D
And that's only the observable universe; who knows how big it really is?
It would be quite cool for us VR users to have a "cockpit" environment for travel to keep down the disorientation...SE is the engine ED needs...wow!
Yes you're right
Write it in yourself. Or build one into your VR device. Learn something about perspectives whilst you're at it.
Your voice is fascinating. So elegant and so relaxing. I could spend hours listening to it. I'd love a podcast of some sci-fi stories with your voice. Would you consider it?
You always make great content, but this was a truly masterful video in both idea and execution.
I've had SE for many years now, it's amazing how far it's come.

@@SantiagoRK96 I would love to know more about it
Just discovered this and gave it a try. $25 well spent for sure
Love this game!! I found a planet with cellular life on it!
I LOVE space engine so much, so much so I did a few showcases of Messier 87 and Earth with a few reshade options enabled, its breathtaking.
Great video! Been watching your vids since 2016 for Elite and continue to enjoy your content.
Wow, love that last shot... imagine living there and see something big like that in the sky :D
It's so gorgeous indeed. Space is underrated
argh!!!! I cant believe you stopped! lol I could watch you do this all day.
Oh my God, that was beautiful :0
Damn I've never been this early. Love your content Obsidian and congrats on your 1 year discord anniversary!!!!
Great program, with a amazing photo mode.. In all angles
This is so beautiful and aesthetic I love this game :)
This would be a film makers dream. HDR mode looks almost photo realistic if you shoot it properly it could look as good or better than older sci-fi shows or movies.
Even better in VR!
This is nuts'
This is why I love the cosmos
You forgot to list the last song in this video (which i had to shazam)
Emotional overload - the highlander
Anyway, this looks amazing
This in VR would be beyond epic! I still wanna play it on my pc this looks beautiful!
It is VR compatible now :)
Extremly beatiful! Don't have a pc yet but once I'm gonna get one, I'll definatly buy a copy of Space Engine. It also seems great for content creation or just creating a ton of cool unique wallpapers
Thank you for making this video; very helpful !
The dev of this game is selling godhood for 25 dollars.
You can actually have an older version for free
@@Bombersman indeed
I checked one time and it said this cost $100, i guess i went to a scam website
On Steam in India, it's just 569 rupees, which is about 7.75 USD, super cheap for such high quality stuff
@@krishnac4910 In Canada it's like 4 dollars.
Spectacular as always Ant!
Your voice is very relaxing.
Great music at the end of the video!
The crazy thing is during the video there is no way he could just find earth again, you and everyone else we know is just on one of the moving lights he passed... everything we know on just one of those lights- Wow.
Space is astonishing, isn’t it
This game gave me serious agoraphobia. I start feeling super weird when I go right up next to a huge planet. Like a phobia type feeling
And you're not alone, my friend. All the same feelings...Don't know why.
me too, when i go inside a gas giant i get scared somehow, same with black holes
@@a-ragdoll Same!
@@awsumturtle with a spaceship its even scarier
gas giants give me this feeling for some reason. They're beautiful, but also really ominous and I can't help but feel really weird whenever I see one, especially if it's getting closer

I haven’t played this game in years and I am finally trying it again
Omg I need this!

thanks for letting us know I was wondering how VR was in this. Oh well I guess back to Elite dangerous for now
Loved the last 2 minutes of the vid. more than the rest of it, literally)
THIS IS THE BEST GAME I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENITER LIFE WTF
A bit faster than in Elite :)
The most underrated game ever along with ourterra anteworld!! love the stuff
Not 2 minutes into the video... zoomed in on orion... sold.
Thank you for convincing me to get this program.
Simply amazing ... just a little money to fulfill my dream in this life
Id love to see these surfaces integrated in ED.
Well they are now, with Odyssey. But the bois call it now "broken planet tech", lol
The rate of advancements in technology of humans puts me in awe
Would like to get into controlling spaceships but i gave up already. Pretty complicated. Still love this engine though!
Elite makes me go "woah" every now and then and contemplate the possibility of interstellar travel....
This is just simply giving me an existential crisis!
Me: How beautiful!
My PC:....
Me I must download it!
My PC: no, Just no
@Comment Guy you can adjust it to the moon and back (sorry the pun) so your PC or laptop should be able to play along at least to a certain extent,
It’s not a resource heavy game btw
@Comment Guy yeah ur right i was on windoes 10 laptop and still worked
?
@@su238als i have 8 gb ram but my vga is probably not decent enough... my vga is amd radeon vega 8 mobile graphic... its dedicated graphic memory is only 1 gb.. what do u think?? Is it decent enough to run SE?? :(
Is there a version of this program for flat earthers?
mspaint
They should call that version "Space Engine for the low IQ players"
You could mod it lol.
i've seen a simulation of a hollow earth... with a sun... inside the earth.
Yes it is called "Flat Engine"
Jesus Christ it's so realistic, the mountains, the day cycle, everything
Thx ObsidianAnt
nice video :)
I've never wanted a program more than right now.
OMG that outro... beautiful
Really enjoy these Space Engine videos, will you make more Space Engine videos in the future?

-Universe Sandbox 2 For creating your own system and playing around with physics
-Kerbel Space Program (KSP 2 if its out by the time your reading this comment) for learning about fight mechanics and real space travel
The coolest thing ever would be a combination of this and Universe Sandbox.
i really want this game but it costs $24 + taxes :( and i dont have such money
What is the name of the last music? I searched for it with the names that he mentioned, but couldn't find it :((
buen video
What is your camera setting, I can't make mine look as realistic as yours. I'm nearby the M87 blackhole.
I paid it on Steam.
Great video as usual. I love this simulation. Can find myself eating up hours in it. Question: What do you use for the video capture?
how did you activate the realistic mode? 1:50
Press V on default controls. Or manually switch photo mode in the settings to either auto or manual
i cant imagine how long this would take
I need help with the game, mine keeps on crashing, and when I press continue I go to credits I can't even play the game I'm so mad
I think the mountain planet you went to is tidally locked with the star
At 10:35 wat that music
It's been a long time since you commented but I just found it through Shazam: Her Own Device - Gavin Luke
@@vagrant5882 thanks
You missed out quite a few a few key bindings in the description
Does anyone know if the game ever goes on sale on steam?
What a lovely voice
Space engine is beautiful
Space engine is damn cool. :)
Every living person would have to search 500 celestial bodies per second in order to fully fully explore the universe
this game is so underrated
I have the free version from their Website, is there a difference? Is the paid Version on Steam better?
Yes
The steam version is updated
@@ItsAstie Thanks
how do you get all the data on the top left of the screen? Thx
I cant open my game I get this vorbisfile.dll problem. anyone had this problem?
