Hello Engineers!
We are excited to announce a brand-new community event: “Forged Among the Stars”, a cinematic screenshot competition for both Space Engineers 1 & 2.
Have an eye for scale, atmosphere, and engineering beauty? This competition gives you the chance to capture the frontier of Space Engineers 1 & 2 and have your screenshot featured as an official loading screen, as well as showcased across Keen Software House’s social media platforms. On top of this, winners will also receive a Steam gift card.
Your screenshot could showcase a massive industrial build, a quiet moment in deep space, or a dramatic planetary scene. Whether captured in Survival or Creative, we want to see Space Engineers 1 & 2 through your perspective.
Our community events continue to deliver incredible creations, and we can’t wait to see what you capture this time.
Good luck, Engineers!
