Added some details to the Reentry - An Orbital Simulator Steam page, feel free to check it out! The simulator is now in the hands of my testers and once we feel we have fixed the major issues I will release the Early Access version! :O store.steampowered.com/app/8… #GameDev #indiedev
I may have geeked out a bit on this one. 🤓
Went quite deep into Gemini’s rendezvous, the onboard computer, radar tracking, and the charts astronauts could use to calculate the rendezvous by hand.

Finally found time to make a video about the 1.0 release of Reentry: The Best Space Flight Simulator You Can Buy - Flip Every Switch, Push Every Button

6 Years ago I made a video about an early access game which let you fly the Mercury, Gemini & Apollo spacecraft.
The video did not perform well at the time, I was disappointed.
But the developer recently said that my coverage was instrumental in making him decide to continue development. And so I'm enormously happy to have been a small part of this great game reaching its 1.0 release.

It’s been ten years - and I finally have a launch window. Thank you all for being part of this journey with me. I hope you’ll join me as we venture into 1.0 and beyond.

A number of users have remarked to @PlayReentry creator Petri Wilhelmsen that they remember events during these early space programs, reliving the thrill and pride of humanity’s progress with Reentry.
I love seeing what people build with Cesium. Outstanding work, Petri.
.@playreentry blends game with simulator, so users learn to operate spacecraft with realistic procedures and soon Cesium Moon Terrain. 🌗 It took 30 mins to replace the lower fidelity Moon with Cesium Moon Terrain. Learn about Reentry & how it uses Cesium: hubs.li/Q02Sw7fg0
Yay, it's out! Very proud to share the role as technical advisor with Johannes on the new Apollo 13: Survival documentary on Netflix.
A while back I worked as a technical advisor on a new Apollo 13 documentary, which is out now on Netflix. Catch my name in the end credits :P

Good morning from the flight deck of my Space Shuttle module for Reentry! Currently programming the logic of the Data Processing System, a system part of the 5 general purpose computers onboard. #NASA #SpaceShuttle #Space #FlightSim

Roguecraft is almost finished! We will be announcing pre-orders very soon!
Here we are doing final tests on proper hardware. It looks even better in real life! 😊
