Every position, size, distance and light-time in this game is real, computed live. The wormhole, the guided landings and the close-ups of faraway stars are fiction — and the game tells you so, every single time, right next to the real numbers.

This entire universe — 13.8 billion years of cosmic history, two trillion galaxies, ten walkable worlds and one slightly overconfident spaceplane — was built by one (1) human being, known to the authorities only as SK. The Developer.
SK sat down one evening to "make something fun real quick." That was several geological eras ago. Since then, SK has personally argued with the Moon about where its surface actually is (three separate times — the Moon lost), taught an autopilot to stop flying into space in a panic, and measured the distance to Betelgeuse just to make sure nobody at NASA could send an angry email.
Team size: 1. The same person is the physics department, the art department, quality assurance, the marketing team, and the guy who says "ship it" at 4 AM. Team meetings are held in the shower. Attendance is excellent.
Budget: approximately one coffee. It went to the coffee.
Fact-checking policy: the positions are real, the distances are real, the gravity is real, the light-times are real. The wormhole is a complete lie, and SK is genuinely sorry — but 26,700 years of travel time to the black hole was judged "bad for user retention."
Q: Why is it free?
A: Because charging money would require a legal identity, and SK
doesn't have one of those right now (see below).
Q: Who is SK really?
A: Classified. SK has sworn a solemn oath to reveal their true
identity when this game reaches 1,000,000 explorers. At the current count, that is —
checks notes — you. Hi. You're early. Tell literally everyone.
Q: Is SK okay?
A: SK once said "it's basically done" eleven updates ago. Draw your own
conclusions.
If NASA is reading this: SK is available, reasonably priced, and already knows where everything is. If aliens are reading this: the flags are decorative, please do not invoice us.
