what even is this? is it a game?

[xSHXDEx]

im just honestly confused on what the product is

It is a sandbox meaning whatever you make of your experience is upto you, without multiplayer of some sort so you can share your experience it may be a flop.

looks like the pc equivalent to dreams

[novelchip]

its both a sandbox and a game engine. with sufficient programming knowledge your can use it to build your own games...even multiplayer ones. Admittedly not easy, but possible.

[AC Dosage]

Is there even a tag for game engine on steam.

[AC Dosage]

I added the tag game engine, i guess if enough players add the same tag steam something happens, i don't know.

[CDEEKS]

It's already out its called unreal engine. Why people are hyped for this I don't know lol its just going to be a massive open world barren and empty and yeh u can place down assets but if u can't code good luck enjoying it.

its meant to be filled with user mods

[Rachid.k]

its a game where you can create your own game within it

this sounds great, but when will it be availabe?

[novelchip]

according to developers intended early access release was planned for end of 2023 but they mentioned that because of a list of tasks still to solve it will release later - and my guess is Q3-Q4 of 2024 :

"Outerra — 09/16/2023 1:05 PM
we wanted to make it accessible this year, and we still would like to, but it's not yet in a generally usable state
stuff that still needs to be finished:
fix bugs and quirks in the editors (we had to throw away the old editors that were using an unsupportable framework, a bad decision from a couple of years ago)
workarounds for AMD and Intel OpenGL driver issues or wait until they release fixes
finish VR controls integration
apart from lots of other fixes done along the way, these are the main ones we want to complete before releasing it"

It maybe the first Metaverse that is really working.

The clown is because you said the 'metaverse' is really working when not only is it far from it according to the devs when it does come out I bet a lot of bugs will still be there waiting to be found out. A lot of hidden skeletons. 💀

[Flashgod_VR]

Metaverse is a concept not some or this particular application. This concept might really work for the first time in a sandbox structured like Outerra.

Just found about this I figured this was too big to be handled

"sufficient programming knowledge"
"Admittedly not easy"
"its meant to be filled with user mods"

*Heavy sigh.*

Well, there goes the most epic, truly global World War II ever to be envisioned by man.
