10 Years of Space Engineers

Celebrating a decade of Space Engineers! We delved into the archives, recovering 2013-2015 versions not on Steam’s beta tab. Recreating iconic moments, we faced challenges like unifying camera perspectives, handling large environments, and solving technical glitches from early versions.

Our efforts led to remarkable achievements. We gained access to every version of the game, even the lesser-known ones. We enhanced our recording techniques, allowing us to merge elements from various versions seamlessly. Additionally, we innovated a practical green screen technique, which will be invaluable for future projects.
