Is there any life form ?

[Solved]

Or is the universe empty of any civilisation ? Like there must be exoplanets in this i assume
And is there any combat system ? I want to be sure before buying it

Space Engine is not really a "game". There are no goals, no objectives, besides the ones you create for yourself. It's a beautiful piece of software that generates the entire universe and lets you explore at will. You can go to any star, planet, asteroid, galaxy that you can see, you can travel to the end of the universe and still find billions of planets that you can explore at surface level with great detail. Everything is made to be as phisically realistic as possible.
No, there isn't any combat, or aliens, quests and trade routes. It's not that kind of "game". This is exploration, pure and simple.

Although there is technically life. Some exoplanets will randomly have life generated, assuming that planet could support it in the first place. These range from aerial life in the atmospheres of gas giants, to subglacial life on frozen moons, to terrestrial and marine life like on earth. It's all currently 2d though (I believe the developer has mentioned the possibility of 3d vegetation being added some time in the distant future), so don't expect things like trees or animals. Still looks great from orbit, though (for terrestrial life, you obviously can't see things like subglacial life!)

Thanks for the informations guys ,i really needed that , i'll wait and see if they improve on what IonIan said .
I don't really want a game with quests , aliens etc.. , i just want animals on planets , not even a combat , but a generated and expended wild life on certain planets would increase the exploration for me , i personally dont find landscape something thrilling , i will have a feeling of being lonely with a Universe without any sort of life .
A system like No Mans Sky would be insane on this
Still a great game tho , but i think i'll not appreciate it as it is right now
Thanks again for you replies.

I think that different forms of life is part of pure exploration
Discover new species on planets , not just landscape
It would be so much more fun to land on an exoplanet and find life on it :)

I totally agree! The game was developed by a single person til the release on Steam, maybe with this new cash infusion he can hire more programmers and make that a reality!
