After Universe Sandbox 2?
« on: July 23, 2014, 05:14:48 AM »
Maybe it's too early to think about it but I was already thinking about the future .. What will happen after the full release of Universe Sandbox2?
 Thanks in advance for the answers :)

they might do more overhaul's n' stuff like Continental drift more star type's like those weird misshapen one's. maybe add a preview screen showing the planet's inside's add the sub celestial body classes (Are those already in there?) thing's of that nature, i can't really think of anything beyond that and adding new Exo-planet's here and there, they could do some starwars stuff like they did in Ubox 1 that be nice, they could  add thing's like accelerate a planet's evolution rate so city light's can grow over time they could be like what Humanity is doin now: talking every bit of land and turning it into a new parkin lot or some Fancy hotel and let the ecosystem fall apart or they could expand to a point and start exploring the cosmos, that's some Universe sandbox 3 stuff right there!

The only reason games to multiple sequels is for monies. Lotsa monies.

Dan says Universe Sandbox is an education tool (and it is. I understand resonance, orbits and trajectory really well now) and that he wants to make it free because knowledge shouldn't have a cost. But he can't make it free because he is not independently wealthy. The only reason this lovely update costs anything is because GA grew so expansively that it basically became their career. And their also spending (according to Dan) hundreds of thousands of dollars making Universe Sandbox. (And people are asking for a torrent/ free version because they don't want to pay, even though they can.)

So having a Universe Sandbox 3 would be like having a "Math Textbook: Part Two"

I think it'll just be updates. It depends how far we go.
