Buy Universe Sandbox ² on Steam.

Today also marks the release of another big update, Alpha 16. If you already own Universe Sandbox ², just run Steam to download the latest version.

What’s New in Alpha 16

What’s new in Alpha 16? We’ve re-enabled and improved saving and loading and completely rewrote the rendering backend to implement logarithmic z-buffering, which addresses graphical issues and paves the way for some big visual changes.

We also made further improvements to the interface and fixed a bunch of bugs and stability issues.

Let us know what you think of Alpha 16 using the in-game feedback or our forums, Facebook, or Twitter.

Or if you’ll be at PAX Prime later this week in Seattle, Washington, stop by the Indie MEGABOOTH to say hello. The whole team will be there showing off the latest and best Universe Sandbox ² and celebrating our release on Steam. We look forward to all that is still to come.
