This is the first release.

I'm honestly speechless.

Note:
Apparently this alpha release doesn't let you go into space. (the game will snap you back in bounds)

Edit_1:
gah, this alpha seems to be rather CPU dependent. I can barely run it.

    It is cool and all, and it's nice that sandbox construction games are getting popular enough to hammer their site offline, but, to be perfectly honest: minecraft-style building just doesn't cut it for me in the long run. It's like building with a stack of pre-cut (and quite unwieldy) giant mud cubes that can for some reason only be stacked orthogonally because it was decreed so by the mud gods.
    Sure, it can be fun, and you can make some nice things with it, but it's really not suitable for much of anything I'd like to build - and for me, building is absolutely the most important aspect of the game. Everything else is secondary, hell, tertiary for things like ragdoll physics and camera effects. Marching cubes terrain is nice, though.

    Here's to a future with complex geometry! ;)

    And yeah, the performance does seem a bit iffy on some hardware.

    Looks like an amazing game... for Krash to bring back T2 style construction in :]
  • DeflunDeflun
    To refute Krash's comment, those ragdoll physics and camera effects where pretty cool!

    Also, downloading.

    Apparently the alpha is just a sandbox demo. (with a few gameplay elements)

    This is a better representation of what the devs have in mind:
