I used to be a big fan of Universe Sandbox and made a lot of publicity for the program. Many of my friends did buy it but i don´t feel good with it anymore.

One thing is the payment plans. I can´t afford 29$ and i won´t beg to get it cheaper.  None of my friends will pay 29$ (thats around 25€) for it either. In germany you buy a program once and don´t pay for an upgrade.

I also tried several times to make good things in US, but they never got implemented.
In the "users systems" are totally stupid things, while the systems that i did send (like a dwarf galaxy consisting of several hundred  suns) were completly ignored. But a senseless Pandora System made it into US...
I also made a binary neutron star system, that orbits in very close distance and is orbited from dozens of planets. Its stable and i did it long before US " Beta was released.

I lost any interest in participating in this anymore. The niveau of the community sinks very low too.

Thanks for your comments Andreas.

I'm sorry my actions have caused you to lose enthusiasm for Universe Sandbox.

I know you purchased multiple copies and have been a big proponent. I truly appreciate this.

I think that $29 is a fair price. My selection of this price was a step toward the justification of working on Universe Sandbox full time for the rest of the year and beyond. If I wasn't charging money then the project wouldn't be anywhere near a v2 release. It was my initial limited success (aka everyone that's purchased so far, like you) that helped justify leaving my job to develop version 2 full time.

I apologize for not including any of your submissions. I haven't released any new community content since the last release of version 1. I've been sitting on a number of submissions, so everyone who has shared has been effected. I'm sorry for not properly managing community submissions. I promise to better manage community sharing after the initial release of version 2.

I just can´t afford that. I still go school. 29$ are around 25€. I get evry months just 50€ from my parents
