Thanks for that, but it doesn't really answer my question. Was "Earendel" a WUBE employee when he/she made SE? Did he/she make SE by him/her self? If WUBE had been planning SA since 1.0, did WUBE design SE? Was SE some sort of first draft of SA? I'm even more confused now.Suitcase08 wrote: Sat Nov 23, 2024 9:28 pm Yes, Earendel (SE Mod developer) wrote about it in the announcement FFF last August.

Since we are finally going to add new content and we are financially doing quite okay, it is the best time to invest into reinforcing our team. One of the steps we have already taken is hiring a concept artist, he might be known to you under the nick of Earendel.
There's some overlap... The home planet has the same name in both. Both have holmium as a new mineral to mine. That's part of the reason I was wondering what the connection between the two is.Stringweasel wrote: Sun Nov 24, 2024 10:31 am If I recall correctly SE was inspired by an early idea given by Wube in an FFF about planets. So Earendel started SE based on a Wube idea.
Regardless, Space Age is it's own interpretation of multi planetary logistics. The only real connection between the two is that there's planets, and things flying betweem them. The rest is very different, different designs, puzzles, target audience, etc.
I was refering more to game design philosophy than naming things. And for reference, Nauvis is what Wube calls the home planet and was part of the game way before SE. And Holmium is a metal that has magnetic properties typically used by games. And comparing names is like saying Minecraft and Factorio is almost the same cause both have Iron OreNineNine wrote: Sun Nov 24, 2024 10:41 amThere's some overlap...
