Universe Sandbox - An Interactive Space Simulator

[DanDixon]

The new Universe Sandbox update also features the latest version of nUI, a flexible, easy to use user interface library that works with both TrueVision3D and XNA for the Xbox.

Thanks so much...

This is what happens when you keep working on something for 3 years (as you'll note the age of the previous comments in the thread).

Great Work!!!!

I know what it takes to get a project out. all I can Say is Congratullations for it, and advice you to try and make a license that can be offered to  schools for educational purposes, and sell it through government agencies.

Very Good!!!!

Thanks. I've sold a few copies to schools, but breaking into the educational market, even with a solid product and a low price is strangely difficult.


And the UI library that I used, Squid (formerly nUI) just released a new update. It's a great, easily expandable library that will save you the trouble of having to make your own.

Dan, you're half the way with it, you've got the product, no company is so big they won't buy a good idea from a simple mortal, you have to make the second part of your effort, the one that is going to give you real money with it.

Don't be shy, just try and contact natgeo or the history channel, I'm pretty sure they would like to distribute an application like yours, as long as you show the earth destroyed by some mega space dissaster . just go for it, you can't just end it here, maybe you've got a couple more years of work selling it, but it is worth giving it a try.

also Try Google

do it.

Outside of some amazing offer, I'm not interested in giving up control of my favorite idea that I've ever come up with. I hope to continue developing and iterating on this idea for years to come.

I appreciate your encouragement and will definitely continue to investigate the education market.

Thanks!
