A rocket engine design sim with real physics. Wire pumps, injectors and nozzles on a node graph, set the numbers, and test fire. Live graphs and 3D hardware answer every change. Fourteen guided missions with a senior engineer, or free build. Recreate the Merlin 1D, or build one that shouldn't work.
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
As a solo dev, I use custom-trained AI tools for a small portion of the visuals/audio, based on assets I own or created. The vast majority of my development effort goes into the realistic rocket simulation and engineering systems.
