I don't think there's any cost. If it turns out to be amazing then people will say so after it has been out then I can look to stream it or buy it.

These days I am so busy doing my own stuff that I don't have time for mediocre sounding entertainment made by others, especially stuff that I have to pay for.

I imported my model into unreal studio and scaled it correctly so I could run around the decks in FPS mode to check that the portholes were the correct size and hight.. turns out that they were a touch too small and low.

Things don't look as nice as I'd like in unreal they look much better in Rhino, my editing software. I can write a plugin for rhino that lets me drive the camera in walking mode, as a six foot tall person, on floors and ramps with gravity and collisions. I also know how to enumerate and read the controls on an Xbox pad in Windows. I will need to do the physics but that should be easy.

I've already written software to build the saucer section and cut holes for the windows. Now that I am using fixed deck heights I can use a single point to position all the windows. If I map buttons on the controller to raise/lower the point and a button to bake the geometry then I can run around the decks and resize and position the windows from inside the world.

I also want to play around with axial gravity and there are other things I want to do in unreal.

The only rate limiting part is my time.
