This looks amazing! It sounds like they've taken the procedural generation path, but just for the overall galactic structure, while handcrafting all of the important things like quests, dialogue, events and other key details. Sounds perhaps like Mass Effect meets No Man's Sky. I really hope they do a good job on this one. :3 It's being developed by Daedalic and they've made countless incredible adventure games. Interesting to see a game like this, a kind of 3D open-ended space-rogue from a point-n-click puzzle/adventure developer. Perhaps that's what the genre was missing: that human touch, the storytelling and the craftsmanship instead of relying on RNG.
