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.

[@CaptainShack]

Congrats Space Engineers. Its been a wild ride the last 10 years. From wondering what multiplayer would be like that first week of release to a decade later. What a blast.

[@callumwright7459]

Greetings Captain, how are you on this fine evening? (or probably not evening, time zones amirite?)

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

only shame its tarnished by hearing how the studio behaved with medival engineers , or flat out took cash out of the sales for space engineers while it still was classed as 'early access' to start dev se2 egine , and in the 'spirit' of the medival engineers manner not even consider letting those that INVESTED in their first product have a copy of that i so badly want space engineers ,just fking more cpu friendly poolished cooding rather then fking ''founder cosmetics'' or dlc scenarios.. :/

[@commanderpower79]

Well said Captain!

[@2xghostx2]

@@Amoth_oth_ras_shashwow some people just can't see the bright side can they? just calm down especially on a celebration video!

[@RedDragonLS007]

I found SE thanks to you Shack. Thank you for 1500 hours of a fun game.

[@Splitsie]

It truly is epic and terrifying that it's been 10 years. Thank you to everyone who's worked on the game over the years and those who are still working on it now. Also, awesome work on this video, the chromakey and compositions were very nicely done :)

[@nzdobbs]

Just looked it up Splitsie, I started playing 23 Feb 2015. I think you started in 2014? I remember just a hand full of asteroids, and base building on the dark side of one, because the meteors came from the direction of the sun. Still have the blueprint of my first miner.

[@Splitsie]

Yeah, I think I bought it April or May 2014. Those old bases I built in the '7 Asteroids' start are likely very long gone as I think the laptop I built them on was retired when the HDD died so I don't have any blueprints from that long ago

[@tozil]

and so many of us wouldnt be here if it wasnt for you splitsie :) really appriciate everything youve done. (youve "wasted" so many hours of my life ;) )

[@Zephandolf]

Anyone else get nostalgia chills when seeing the rescue ship come down level to the platform and open its chunky door? Yeah, that was about 3000 hours ago 😂

[@Aragath]

12500 hours for me. 😂 Cheers!

[@Zephandolf]

@@Aragath just double checked, it's actually 3150, but still 😆

Thank you and your team for hard work, and where quality is optional for others, for you wasnt. One of few still respected companies. Am patiently waiting for space engineers 2.

[@jacksonbarkerthebluehairedfox]

I'm curious if the Red colony will ever be released? I love city builds in Space Engineers and need to take a closer look at it!

[@guilhermecosta7168]

[@Black5heep_]

Absolutely right. Many thanks to you and the people who made this whole thing possible.

[@dunkan44]

That early trailer of the ships ramming each other was why I got into the game in the first place, it's come so far!

[@MeganFoxx426]

Same, the collision, and softbody physics is what grabbed me back them. I bought it in 2013, and have logged well over 16,000 hrs. of play. it is the only game in my entire steam library that has more than 3000 hrs. logged. I absolutely adored Space Engineers, and will continue to adore it, until I am no longer able to play it, which for me will be when I'm dead, or when PCs don't support it anymore, but hopefully by then, there will be a Space Engineers 2.

[@GregtheMad]

Yeah, it was one of those moments where I though "Games can do THIS?!".

[@hansberger4078]

bro 16k hrs is insane, what would one even do for 16k hrs in one game lol@@MeganFoxx426

[@mattp1337]

Getting to space for the first time-in a ship I designed and built myself, from materials I harvested and refined myself-still ranks as the most satisfying moment I've had in more than 40 years of gaming. Thanks so much for the journey these last 10 years.

[@Rakinor]

It's been fun exploring with you all

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Space Engineers has come so far!!! This is a very neat and creative way to showcase the SE eras. Well done 🙂

[@BallChainGaming]

You guys came out not long after we got married, so it has been fun having you be a part of our creative endeavors basically the entire time! Thanks for making a game to bring our machinima story to life, and thank you for asking us to be a part of Frostbite. Being a part of a game that has meant so much to our relationship is so fantastic. Congratulations on a decade! It was awesome watching this little showcase. We know how much work is going on in that background! And the change in the model as he ran? Awesome.

[@nzdobbs]

hmmmm Deadly salvage.... Been a while, I feel it's time to watch it again. Love your work guys

[@PandemicPlayground]

What an amazing way to showcase the evolution of Space Engineers. Great Work!

[@WarpstoneHamster]

10 years? I still remember when Clang ate my very first small-grid space ship, like it was yesterday... All because i had used pistons to show or hide the machineguns... Now i use rotors on pistons and Clang isn't bothered at all... Thank you for making me feel old...

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

It's not a Space Engineers trailer if the red thing and the blue thing don't crash violently.

[@Juansas03]

Loved this game since 2014

[@nebulae_wanderer]

I remember my dad buying me that game, and me not sleeping of the night thinking of the cool stuff i'll build. Anyway I'm in computational physics, working on interstellar dust now. Thanks for the inspiration SE.

[@Mondulavuz]

This brings back so many good memories. Almost 2000 hours and 0 regrets with this game!

[@MeganFoxx426]

16,000+ hours for me, I bought when it first hit early access in 2013, and I have Zero Regrets, like you.

[@Eireguy_]

Congrats on 10 Years! Truly a great way to show how far Space Engineers has come as a game!

[@jakeyoung4954]

Watched videos on this game for about 7 years. Got it about 2 years ago, im really getting into it now, thanks for making such a great game.

[@jasonfabrick9308]

I only bought the game a few years ago thanks to Splitsie. I didn't realize how much the game had changed since the start. This was interesting to watch.

[@gamingmitmaus6949]

This is the most amazing game I have ever had. 2514 hours since mid 2020, even made my own servers. With mods there are infinite possibilities. People have made horrorgames in this, I have made shooters and tank battle maps, and even made a server simulating a realistic world war on earth with orbital mechanics and space warfare included. I cant wait to see how far this game comes and I would really love to see more overhauls of multiplayer, game mechanics and physics!

[@Spetsialista]

Congrats SE! Dayum! 10 years already?

[@seanwolslau-holdren6731]

A very lovely video showing the evolution of Space Engineers. I look forward to what comes next.

I really like how this video was laid out.

[@manoflego123]

I remember first seeing someone talk about this game back in early alpha and thinking "man, that just looks like a weird minecraft knockoff." What a fool I was. I've been playing nearly a decade now and it is one of my favorite games of all time!

[@MeganFoxx426]

Though it has some of the same elements of minecraft, this Game blows Minecraft right out of the Stars. Like trying to fight a Tank, with a BB gun, lol.

[@greenbeansoup]

whoa the game is already older than me

[@MisterHavoc]

I've been on this ride for almost the entire trip, and I've enjoyed the whole thing. Much love.

[@happybunny1986]

I have over 2000 hours played on this game from 2013 to 2018 Stopped playing most thing when i had my first child, i still brought every bit of dlc you brought out tyo support an amazing team with a great game. Congrats guys!

[@MeganFoxx426]

Same here, I own all the DLC. this game is truly worth every penny spent on it.

@MeganFoxx426 agreed I paid I think £15 for the base game? Best value for money ever!!

[@vins8819]

I was there in 2013, 18 years old. Thanks you for all KSH ❤

[@darandomator4010]

Wow, it has been a while. From asteroids, to planets, to graphic overhauls and so much more. I booted the game up for the first time in late 2015, and I've loved it since. I built so many things from odd flying brick to near future warp ships. It really has been a blast. Here's to many more years of success and advancement!

[@mr_edvardsen]

Phenomenal! Wonderfully cut video going over Space Engineers throughout the ages, I can't wait to be a part of the next 10 years!

[@darkmattergamesofficial]

Real ones remember the original asteroid field skybox... This game was way ahead of the curve. Remember how insane the hype was for Planets? I don't think I have ever been that excited for a game update ever.

[@Haladmer]

Congrats on 10 years! Hard to believe I've been playing long enough to remember ladders being officially supported at least twice! So many fun (and sometimes frustrating) hours in the game, here's to many more!

[@YouNesto]

What a nostalgic video. The final scene with the plaque and the statue moved me. I thought about how this is not just a simple game, but a real constructive entertainment experience that has grown me and made me loyal to the game, meeting new friends, creating communities and servers. Love for SE

[@Gaookami]

Wow, 10 years already. Happy to be a part of it the whole mission duration 😎

[@thedarkdragon89]

[@fulconini]

The smooth transitions between the different versions of the theme were really cool

[@nybblelynx]

Been playing space engineers on and off for the last 6-8 years I think. My first laptop could barely run on planets and now I've invested, I can truly see what space engineers has become. Not just as a game but a brilliant community which is unfortunately rare in gaming nowadays. A brilliantly underrated game, looking forward to future updates from everyone at Keen.

[@dgw237]

After nearly 11 thousand hours of Space Engineers over a period of time that covers most of my time on this Earth I cannot possibly sing praises of this game good enough to do it justice. From solo vinalla creative to the hardest modded faction server this game, its devs, and its community outshines all others like it. For another ten years! Long live Spengies!

[@ghost9935]

Kinda sad

Its been a wild 10 years... I remember joining after seeing LastStandGamers' first video on it and waited every week for a new update

[@chaseszombies6056]

[@MeganFoxx426]

I found out about the game from EctoSage, and followed the link in his first video, saw KSH's promotional trailer, and bought the game sight on seen, not even knowing that it would get this good, or last very long. I even got my Father interested in this game before he died, his idea of gaming was an Atari 2600, or a Coin Operated Arcade. He and I made a connection that we lacked while I was growing up, Space Engineers brought us reconciliation, and a common interest that transcended the generation gap between us.

[@ArcBane]

These ten years have been a hell of a ride. Here's to all the veterans who stuck around since launch and to all the new recruits who are still discovering this gem. Onward, to wacky builds and a clang filled future!

[@thedarkdragon89]

OG Vet checking in, I bought the game third day after release. Been playing ever since and will continue to do so.

growing up this game made me and helped me thru some shit. the greatness that can be found here... I didn't even get to play the game till very recently about 2 years ago. but getting to watch this game develop over the years was truly an honor and I wouldn't want to play anything else. thankyou

[@skylava_]

I remember first finding out about this game when the Yogscast did the few videos on it and from there I’ve always loved this game. Rather it be watching KZbinrs play it like Jack or Arron, or playing it on my PC or Console it will always have a place in my heart. It has been fun Space engineers, here’s to many many more years to come! (and hopefully less clang taking my ships)

I deeply love this game, I just wish all that cosmetic DLC went on sale more often, or were bundled into a set that made it cheaper overall- like a large DLC of cosmetics. It's beautiful stuff, I just can't keep friends playing when they have to pay to get all the goodies at full cost.

[@tehweh8202]

Oh, I had almost forgotten about that. The constant fear of rotors just exploding, or pistons breaking all the laws of physics. I still remember that one update, that fixed them. Suddenly things just worked.

[@BelgianDneprGuy2003]

Nearly 10 years from me from April 2025 forward. I recall watching LastStandGamers survival series constantly and wanting the game so bad in mid to late 2014.. ever since I met one of my best friends purely through opening my world to multiplayer. At the time I was building one of my first piston creations: a landing gear. A month or 1.5 months later Planets would release and I recall planets lagging my laptop so hard.. yet continued. I am glad to be on the same journey as all of us here, it has been a pleasure!!

I've been viewing this game on KZbin for years now at a time where my interested lie in studying astronomy and in engineering. I know that I didn't get to play the game at the time due to not being able to but a PC powerful enough to run it. However, I've been keeping up with the game's updates that have helped improved it over the years. From overhauling graphics to adding new features that help improve and enable buolding things that you initially can only do with mods. Its nice seeing how far this game has come. Maybe one day I could play it.

[@evlkenevl2721]

Very nicely done! It's nice to a vid that people put some love into!
