Do you have any more types of space anomalies like your work on gas clouds planned? Comets, Black holes, anything you're ready to chat about?

TL;DRNo research into black holes has been done, comets have come up in conversation with gameplay possibilities and level design concerns, and wormhole jump gates might count as an anomaly eventually.

I mean, black holes, I'm not sure that we've done any research into that so far, but comets have come up in conversations for sure. I think when we started to show the atmospheric burn-up, Teo took a really nice video where there's a ship passing through the atmosphere, but it's right off in the distance, and it just looked like a burning up meteor. And you were probably in it, Jared, it was in one of the weekly updates. And immediately, Ian was talking about, oh, it'd be great to get loads of comets coming through. And then the designer's like, yeah, but then it's going to land somewhere. And then it could be like a new location, and there's all these gameplay opportunities.

Everybody was excited except the level designers.

Perhaps the wormhole jump gates would be a space anomaly, right? That'll happen at some point.
