Welcome to Universe Sandbox ² Community on Steam

Thanks for being among the first to check out Universe Sandbox ². We're still hard at work improving and updating the game and will be for months to come.

We plan to release Universe Sandbox ² on Steam as Early Access in the Summer of 2015.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

15th September? You have been hiding out on us? I think I tried to visit this place like a week ago only to get redirected to steam store page.

Anyway, Wohoo :D

Does this mean people can soon start buying this game from Steam? Early Access?

Ahh.... I posted that when I was experimenting with the community and forum settings before the game was visible. So yes... we have been hiding.

While the game is already available on our website, we won't be selling it on Steam until the Summer of 2015.

5 years in game or... 10 years, new achievement coming

I'll close "One year" soon...

Alpha teaser is really cool

No worries... no plans for those achievements in the new version (or the 1 year achievement either).

Thanks. As of Dec 2014, the current trailer on Steam is a bit out of date as collisions and impacts look even better in the latest version. We'll be posting a new teaster/trailer in the next few months.

And it's a steep increase in quality and features... the original one was made by me... the new one is made by a team of seven. It's a complete rewrite in a brand new engine in development for 3 years now. Awesome collisions, climate, material properties, and tons of simulations and scenarios to explore. And there's lots more to come...

Few questions:

1. Steam workshop?

2. Steam Trading Cards?

3. Will I get Steam key if I buy US2 from your Humble Widget? That's the most compelling reason to 'preorder' because I hate managing things outside Steam.

1 - Steam Workship is planned, but not yet implemented.
2 - Steam Trading Cards are also planned, but not yet added.
3 - Yes. If you buy now via the Humble Widget on our website, it will activate and update via Steam... exactly the same as if you wait to buy via Steam (except you get it now instead of later).

Just bought myself a copy through the Humble Bundle site and everything has gone smooth so far :)
Only thing I will point out was Steam said the download was ~1315MB but instead it's only downloaded 349MB, no complaint, just an observation.
Can't wait to try it out, bit of a fan of US1!
Thanks Dan & the team for their hard work, hope to see those updates stream in and good luck with Steam launch in Summer 2015.
