I'm so excited for this game. 
An entire universe that would take more time to explore than it would take our actual Sun to burn out. Crazy what people can do with technology these days.

Just a brief matter of description;
- The game is full of fully sized, fully explorable and procedurally generated planets.
- The game generates it's own life forms, of which you can discover and rename.
- The game has actual day / night cycles (by which I mean, you can land on the dark side of a planet and see it become day in real time if you have the patience to do so).
- You don't have to land on any planet if you choose to do so; just fly around, be a space pirate, a trader or just a general explorer of the skies.
- The game has it's own element system; all fictional, but they appear to be very fun to play around with. This comes attached to a crafting system akin to Minecraft.
- Each planet has it's own environment, primarily based upon positioning relative to it's star.
- I've noticed many strange, cryptic little secrets in the trailers but I have no idea what they could be specifically. I sincerely hope this crypticism is carried into the full game.
Yeah, I'm really excited about all this. The only issue is that it's procedurally generated. It may get boring quickly, and you could very easily lose interest after landing on a planet that just looks like a varied colouration of another planet you were just on. There's also the problem of competition; Star Citizen and Elite; Dangerous are both strong contenders for this genre of space exploration game. Either way, let's see what Hello Games can conjure up.
