No. You will not need the current version of Universe Sandbox on Steam to participate.

Although you will need a Steam account (but those are free, so no need to sign up until the full beta details are announced).

So when can I start beta?

tuto99 · « **Reply #33 on:** January 24, 2013, 07:27:18 PM »

Sounds good, Dan. I can't wait.

Quick question: In Universe sandbox v.3 or so, will there be planets and stars that has there rotation period so fast that they "pancake" or flatten at the equator. Thanks.

That would be awesome.
I think Dan said he's thinking about adding oblateness to planets in Version 3.

Where do I go to figure out up-to date information. I am pretty new on here, just need a little guidance.

vh · « **Reply #38 on:** February 16, 2013, 04:20:18 PM »

dan posts all the up to date info here (on the forums)i believe if you have any questions just ask or start a new thread

vh · « **Reply #39 on:** February 16, 2013, 04:23:15 PM »

the most updated information about the beta should be here i assume because the thread title is about the beta release.

wierdness101 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 16, 2013, 04:28:09 PM »

Do you know if this will be hinted on being released early this year, or late this year?
I'm very eager on knowing when this game may be released, it's so fascinating and cool.

vh · « **Reply #41 on:** February 16, 2013, 05:14:36 PM »

no one knows

Darvince · « **Reply #42 on:** February 16, 2013, 05:21:42 PM »

I hope that there will be trailer for the Universe Sandbox 3 beta so that we all know that the BETA is going to be released soon. P.S. Love the past screenshots hope there's more soon. PEACE!

Sorry I'm not sure which thread this question would best be suited for, but as far as use of hardware goes, how much hardware can the newer engine take advantage of? SLI? crossfire? cuda? opencl? # of cpu cores? etc.

Execta · « **Reply #45 on:** February 25, 2013, 09:42:09 AM »

(Stupid) Question to Dan:

As US3 Beta comes to Steam, will it come to Steam for Schools version too?

You can just press "Forgot Password" or w/e and it'll send you a yahoo/gmail/hotmail etc. you registered it too and you can reset it. And anyways, you can just get a new account. (Their free).

If I bought universe sandbox 2 non-steam then do I get version 3 for free?

Universe sandbox 3 this year, when it will be released?

Dan Dixon · « **Reply #55 on:** April 02, 2013, 11:09:52 AM »

So when will the beta be available?
In taking a page out of Valveâ€™s book, the beta will be released when itâ€™s ready (and itâ€™s not ready yet). Iâ€™m going to stop announcing release dates that Iâ€™m not 100% certain we canâ€™t hit.

Kevin1994 · « **Reply #56 on:** April 03, 2013, 03:25:12 AM »

the Universe sandbox 3 release date is TBA or went is ready.

went US3 will release no one knows not even Dan.

SmittenKitten · « **Reply #57 on:** June 27, 2013, 02:21:30 PM »

I was wondering if I will have to buy the game again if I want Universe Sandbox 3. Do I have to download it all over again? Do I have to buy it again? What will happen if I bought the game but don't get it?

By the way, I have a suggestion(s) for V3:

You could make it so the planets crack into pieces when an asteroid hits it or something.
Comets?
That other Earth like planet?
Nebulas?
Better black holes?
Super/Hypernovae?
Null Energy Fields? javascript:void(0);

Universe Sandbox 3 will require a new purchase and new download.
If you buy it and don't get it you should contact us so we can correct that problem.

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Maybe.
Yes.
Somewhat.
How would a null energy field work in Universe Sandbox?

smjjames · « **Reply #59 on:** June 27, 2013, 08:28:48 PM »

I think the null energy field was smittenkitten joking around.
