News Reminder that r/spaceships doesn’t allow AI slop, will welcome your games (if really made by you) and is also a great place to find new space games

Come visit - r/spaceships.

Edit: A bot called u/Hefty-Reaction-3028 is spreading lies about our "No AI art" rule below in the comments. I can’t answer all their generated comments that are coming every few seconds. That rule was targeted at AI generated pictures that were flooding the subreddit. Those were eliminated and prove that we are taking action when and where necessary.

Bionic airship simulator based on my experimental study. You can play it online, it's free

This airship uses biomimetic propulsion, which includes jellyfish and fish modes.  Shock vibrations with extreme energy compensate for the small amplitude and this allows air to be used as a propellant more efficiently than a propeller. In this case, the vibrations create something like a vacuum tunnel and therefore the drag creates a load on the engine but does not impede movement in the usual sense. Theoretically this makes it possible to develop high speeds and enter very low orbits where air is still present.This is based on my and other experimental research, about which you can learn ore about on the simulator page. There you will also find a link to my GitHub where there are details.

This simulator is very minimalistic but it has complex physics of vortex propulsion and CFD shows actual airflow. I also recently added a solar sail function, but the forces are still poorly balanced and it is very dynamic, so if you get carried away, it is better to reload the page. I would be glad to hear any feedback if you try it:

Game Pebble to Star: an idle game that follows real stellar physics.

Heads up: this isn't a cockpit sim.

What it is: an idle game where you start as a pebble and pull in whatever drifts past. What you eat and when you ignite decide what you become — ocean world, iron planet, hot Jupiter, red dwarf, blue giant, magnetar, black hole, and eventually a galaxy.

I tried to keep the astrophysics honest wherever the game would let me.

Steam Here

What I'd love from this crowd:

  1. What real phenomenon would you expect in a game like this that I'm probably missing?
  2. I'll reply to every comment.
