Sandbox 2

Hello Gamers!
I have to tell you all something fantastic!
Universe Sandbox2 (written as Sandbox squared) has a teaser trailer out on its homepage!!!!!
If you haven’t seen it yet watch it now! Are you back? Awesome, right?
The graphics are magnificent in my opinion, the music (if it will be in the game, which I think would be a great improvement on the first game) is gorgeous, and I know I will be buying it whenever I get on Steam next. 
It looks like we will be getting new planets to tinker around with, new planetary features to play with, namely the asteroids hitting earth AND THE Earth exploding!? This game looks well worth the wait and I am psyched out for it!
It looks like in the video, at the end we get to see the moon being formed around the Earth, which brings up questions in my head like “Is it a simulation that you can just watch, or is it that you can create planets a WAY cooler way now?” That of course is just one of many questions I have about the game, and I’m sure you have some too.
On its homepage it also has some brief examples of what’s new about it.
Some new items include the ability to smash bodies together at various speeds (I assume this is just an upgrade to the old system, as you could do this before as well). It also is introducing a Climate factor to planets, as seen in the video I assume you can now adjust temperatures of planets on your own, without moving the planet’s orbit distance. Terraforming is also new, and perhaps my favorite addition to your toolbox of awesome. Terraforming means changing the atmosphere of a planet, and it’s surface, and if Man of Steel taught us anything, it can be cool and dangerous at the same time- what more can we ask for?
You can also throw asteroids at planets (again, it’s not anything new), but the damage system appears to be new.  
There are many new features to Sandbox 2, and when I get the game and play through it a bit I’ll report back with my review.
