Maker Faire Research: Elite Dangerous


Elite:Dangerous is a space combat and trading open-world simulator. It was developed by a company called Frontier Developments, and designed by David Braben. Unable to secure funding through an established games publisher, Braben launched a Kickstarter campaign, and was able to raise over 1.5 million pounds sterling. Elite:Dangerous is the fourth game in the Elite series. The first Elite game was released for the BBC Micro in 1984, and was widely praised for its advanced graphics and game engine. This game is intriguing to me because it combines space and open-world gameplay, along with a vast procedurally-generated galaxy to explore.
