thanks - we will integrate it for A10 :)

Thanks for the feedback.
We are happy to add this block. Can you pls post a link to the illustration here or send us message on IndieDB with block shape illustration.

Hi Jetcutter. What do you mean with "third person"? If you mean third-person view - it is in the game since day 1.

Thanks for your kind words.
Regarding the vacuum physics and airflow: unfortunately, this is not yet implemented.

Thanks CaptainShack.

Yes, there are peaceful and hostile creatures in Empyrion.

Yes, we will definitely implement an oxygen system which requires you to build your ships and stations airtight to preserve oxygen. A single hull breach causes the oxygen to escape into the vacuum of space.
Moreover, you will be able to take off your helmet and space suit.

Thanks!
This is just an estimation:
For the Client. OS: WindowsXP (Service Pack 3) or higher. Processor: Intel® Core™ i5 or AMD Phenom II X4 with at least 2,5 GHz. Memory: 4GB RAM. Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT or AMD Radeon with 1GB RAM. DirectX: 9.0c (Shader Model 3.0). Hard Drive: 2GB available space. Sound Card: DirectX® compatible. Dedicated server requirements will follow.

Yes, development of Empyrion continues! We are making good progress and the Alpha release is scheduled for spring 2015 on Steam Early Access. Stay tuned!

Thanks for your feedback and your suggestion. We will not make the error of many other indie developers and release Empyrion too early! It will only be released on Early Access when the game is sufficiently mature!

Thanks for your feedback! We are planning to release the Alpha as a paid early access version in Q1 2015 (around 50% cheaper than the finished game). If you buy the Alpha, you will have access to all further updates including the finished game.

The concept of a procedurally generated universe in which you can fly across space and land on planets is similar to No Man's Sky. In Empyrion, however, you will be able to build everything out of blocks and building parts (to the best of my knowledge, this feature is not present in No Man's Sky). The possibility to build your own spaceships, bases etc has important consequences on the gameplay in Empyrion because the optimal strategy is not fixed but will strongly depend on "how" you build stuff. For example, if you like to be more of an explorative type who wants to discover many different planets you should build a small and fast mothership, while a large, heavy and well-armed mothership will drive your playing style towards fighting and defence of few planets.
I addition, Empyrion features terrain deformation and an extensive crafting system. To the best of my knowledge, these two features are also not included in No Man's Sky.

Hey Crisher888! Thank you very much - every backer counts for us! Without a strong community, Empyrion cannot exist.

Yes, a physics-based gameplay is exactly what we want to implement!

Yes, you will be able to set the turrets on mode "auto." In this mode, they will shoot on everybody that is not a "friend" (you can define a list of friends). But you can also operate the turrets by yourself, i.e., in mode "manual."

Thanks. For the moment we are planning to release only for Windows (and perhaps Mac + Linux) but we do not exclude the possibility to develop also a version for mobile devices in the future.

Yes, we are planning also a creative mode in which you have unlimited resources so that you can build the craziest things and share them with the community!
