Giant Army wrote:Create and destroy on an unimaginable scale... with a space simulator that merges real-time gravity, climate, collision, and material interactions to reveal the beauty of our universe and the fragility of our planet. Includes VR support for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift+Touch, and Windows Mixed Reality.


I can totally see this tool being used to create the Battlegrounds universe in full. Check out the update below. It's not just a simulator. You can create planets, and therefore also solar systems. Imagine playing Starfinder with this as your overworld. All RPGs can benefit massively, even fantasy ones. Note also the built-in VR functionality that will mesh well with Menyr's VR.

You can blow up planets and simulate collisions btw. So we should be able to make videos of that stuff to add on the overworld, when such cosmic events occur! Do you see now the connection to PA?

Also, Steam rating is "Overwhelmingly Positive".

On another note, I am going to need to start a "Tools" subforum and collect all the relevant threads there because there are so many tools that can be used to enrich Battlegrounds and I keep forgetting many of them even exist. In their own subforum, it'll be easy to survey, compare and prioritize them. Tools subforum coming soon.

Trailer in your living room with those AR goggles/glasses and controllers. Imagine how awesome it would have been for in-person roleplaying back in the day. But of course even better on the internet.
