    Hello everyone, I wanted to share some information about the game I am working on and answer any questions that might come up.

    Kinetic Void is a 3D space flight sim with a focus on customization and enjoyable simulation. Our in game ship builder allows players to modularly construct their ship piece by piece. Each module can be destroyed individually and if a ship's engines are destroyed, it will be left drifting. If the hull piece containing a reactor is knocked out, everything that reactor powered will be useless (unless another reactor can pick up the slack). While in space flight, interactions between objects are governed by the physics engine. Running into an asteroid at high speed will damage your ship and could send you careening off into space. Slowly approaching the asteroid and then throttling up will allow you to accelerate the asteroid. And if that asteroid just happens to be heading toward a space station... well, the results should be spectacular. But be careful who you anger. The faction who owned the station will remember your little stunt and may be gunning for you in the future. On the other hand, their enemies may appreciate your resourcefulness and be more open toward you.

    Link to Alpha demo on our official website.

    Please keep in mind that the game is still in early development. This demo is mostly about about building a ship and then flying it in a test scene. We're currently working on adding things like AI, combat, factions, etc.

    The concept sounds really interesting, and the ship builder looks great so far. Looking forward to seeing some real gameplay :)

    We had a rather large update yesterday and completely overhauled the user interface and more. if you have it already run the updater, or download the 0.15 version from our site, we have released a couple small patches, so be sure to run the updater either way.
