The player will be able to pilot a fully customizable spaceship into the vast regions of our universe and can colonize other planets beyond our solar system. In addition, he or she can research different scientifically accurate theories to upgrade their spaceship, build vast space stations and terra-form inhospitable planets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The project is described in this video:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1672987132\/space-pioneer\/widget\/video.html\" height=\"360\" width=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign opened today for the game Space Pioneer, which was created by a team that includes three cosmonauts: \u00a0Space Pioneer by Space Enigma Studios \u2014 Kickstarter Our team consists of world famous astronauts, engineers, designers, programmers, artists and architects who allow us to construct a game that will be the most accurate &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?p=6005\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Space Pioneer &#8211; A game created by real world astronauts, scientists &#038; architects.<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,22,40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-contests-and-games","category-education","category-simulators"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p34aWK-1yR","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6319,"url":"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?p=6319","url_meta":{"origin":6005,"position":0},"title":"Space Pioneer &#8211; updates and new video","author":"TopSpacer","date":"February 3, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"I wrote here previously\u00a0about the Kickstarter campaign to fund development of the game\u00a0Space Pioneer by Space Enigma Studios.
