Is this project even alive? The last forum posts seem to be about a year old and there doesn't seem to be any development on the OS X / Linux front despite them saying it was right around the corner in 2012.
Wouldn't be nice some kind of game like KSP with this engine in a MMPORG fashion? I know, keep dreaming :)
I would highly recommend this for anyone who owns an Oculus Rift.
Jaw-dropping! Now if only someone could pick this up to build a Win/OSX/Linux version of No Man's Sky!!! That would be the ultimate amazement to me...
There's some folks called I-Novae trying to do a similar thing, but making a space-fight simulator game on top as well, called Infinity: https://www.inovaestudios.com/Technology . I'd be curious to hear a technical comparison. It looks like Outerra focuses more on the planet-side and I-Novae more on the space-side.
They've gone for an intermediate goal of making a space-fight simulator based on the engine. I played a prototype a few years back where two teams fight each other in a Solar System in a Counter Strike fashion, mine or destroy the enemy to get money and you get to upgrade your ship. It was pretty fun.
Looks like they've gone to crowdfunding to turn their prototype in a working game that they can use as a stepping stone to the MMORPG. It's called Infinity: Battlescape and it apparently got funded en of last year https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/infinity-battlescape
I like this. I look at this project and see all kinds of potential.
