Uranus

Overview

Uranus is a space exploration game that will put you in control of your very own spaceship. Build a ship configuration that is right for you, then blast off exploring for treasures in the vast unknown regions of space.

Uranus is currently very early in development. It is being written using the XNA framework.

Uranus will feature a Ship Building interface, where you can design all kinds of different ship configurations.
