Sembra molto interessante, ma domanda per chi lo sta seguendo/provando: c'è una data prevista o comunque i lavori sono in stato molto avanzato?

Data prevista no. Nel loro ultimo ama su reddit hanno risposto che hanno ancora decine di idee da aggiungere.

Aggiornano ogni giovedì.

Stadio avanzato? Si. Se vedi la wiki ci sono decine e decine di componenti più telecamere, sensori e controlli remoti che ancora non sono stati aggiunti nella wiki perché introdotti da 2-3 settimane.

Nel canale YouTube ufficiale puoi vedere brevi video da 4 min su ogni singolo update.

Programming is coming to Space Engineers

Programming is making its way into Space Engineers. The first version will come this Thursday (September 18th, 2014).

You will have four different ways to "program in Space Engineers":

Modding API – This will be the first one. It’s not for everyone, because it will require modding the game. Some programming experience will be required. It will allow you to alter the game by writing C# scripts that have access to in-game objects (at first, only some type of objects will be accessible, but we will keep opening up the interface). These scripts will be shared through Steam Workshop and the game will insure they will run in a safe sandboxed environment (scripts won’t be able to access your local files, send packets over your network, launch applications, etc.). Example scenarios:

• Dedicated server log: player will know what happened on his dedicated server while he was offline (ships destroyed, players logged in/out, ore harvested, etc.)
• Robots! (with AI, sensors, logic, behavior)
• Mission script, large ship fights, search and rescue, etc.
• New custom weapons
• Scripted ship spawning
• Modifying existing blocks (e.g. refinery priority)
• And more

Programmable blocks and HUD – I wrote about this in my previous blog post. It will come in a few weeks after the modding API. The main difference between programmable blocks/HUD and the modding API is that the former happens inside the game world. You will have access only to functions that would be available to an astronaut in-game. We will try to make it user-friendly and easy to use. You will be able to program robots and machinery, but you won’t be able to use this to script a mission or alter the game.

Modding API (total access) – this will be an extension of the modding API and all safety restrictions will be lifted (no sandboxed environment). You will be able to write DLL files that can access in-game objects and essentially do whatever you want. These scripts/DLLs won’t be shared on Steam Workshop (it would be too risky).

Interactive blocks – this idea came to us after we’ve noticed how you are using sensors and pistons. Some of you were able to create drones that track objects, logic gates, timed lights and other interactive works. The best part is that there was no text-based programming involved. We want to widen your options and we plan to add some new interactive blocks (“timer” block was the first one).

I believe that adding programming to Space Engineers will trigger a flood of creations, the possibilities are infinite. I am already looking forward to see what you will create (I already have an addiction to watching your Youtube videos, Steam Workshop worlds and mods, Reddit…).

Update 01.048 - Modding API, Reloadable missile launcher for small ships

Summary
The Modding API has been implemented into Space Engineers. It brings a lot of new possibilities to our modders and it allows them to alter the game by writing C# scripts which have access to in-game objects! Reloadable missile launcher for small ships is also added - with the option to use the conveyor system.

Additionally in this update, we have included the Fighter Cockpit model that was created by the modder “Darth Biomech”. This is the first modded model that makes it into the official version of the game. By doing this, we want to reward and encourage all modders for their good work and efforts. It’s not possible to add all mods which are created, because we need to keep the game simple and organized, but we can ensure that more mods will be added in the future.

ModAPI Guide: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile.../?id=315625486
Tomorrow we'll post video showing how to configure free version of Visual Studio and create simple mod using ModAPI.

Update 01.050 - Blueprints

Summary
Blueprints have been added in Space Engineers. Players can now save their ship or station on a blueprint and paste it into their game. This was one of the most demanded features by the community, so we feel happy that it is finally in the game. We hope that players will enjoy this as well.
Blueprints can also be uploaded and shared on Steam Workshop. They work only when copy/paste is enabled. At the moment, blueprints can be used only in creative mode, but later in the future they will be added for survival as well. Welders (both ship and character) will be able to 'place' blocks according to blueprints.

Features
- Blueprints (F10, Ctrl+B)

Fixes
- fixed reduced distance for placing objects in survival mode
- fixed issue when a dead player could still remotely control ships

Update 01.051 - Adding new asteroids in creative mode, Remote turret control

Summary
Adding new asteroids in creative mode is now possible in Space Engineer. Players can select the asteroid type, materials and then place it into the world. Another new addition is the scrap metal items. When a component, either floating object or in block, is damaged, it is turned into scrap metal (the percentage of scrap metal is random). Scrap metal can be melted in the refineries to create iron ingots. Also, remote turret control has been added; players are now able to control turrets directly

Features
- adding new asteroids in creative mode (SHIFT+F10)
- scrap metal item (can be processed in refinery into iron)
- remote turret control

Fixes
- fixed hand animation during the block placement
- fixed issue with transparent asteroid

sto provando il free weekend su steam, qualcuno ci gioca e mi istruisce magari in coop?

[~Blissard~]

Lo sto provando anche io durante il fine settimana gratis, per il momento non ci sono obbiettivi giusto? si costruisce, si sperimenta e stop?

Esatto. Una campagna è (forse) prevista ma al momento non si sa nulla.

Oppure puoi darti al multi e sperimentare battaglie.

Level design & Stabilization period

A few months back we realized that Space Engineers had already almost all of the core features we originally planned to implement and that now would be a good time to start adding game scenarios -- something that will give players goals to achieve; something that will make Space Engineers more of a game and not just a creative sandbox.

We think that the best way to accomplish this is to create a set of interactive scenarios (levels, missions, etc.). We knew we couldn't do this alongside our other priorities, so we decided to start looking for people whose only job would be designing, prototyping and testing these scenarios.
We decided to hire level designers.

For these reasons, we launched a creation contest (where you can win NVIDIA graphic cards) and a job ad for level designers. Anyone can apply but relocation to Prague is required. I hope we will find some great new colleagues who will help us add new scenarios to Space Engineers.

The creation contest has another benefit for Space Engineers as well - if enough people apply, we will get a lot of material and ideas to choose from when implementing official scenarios in Space Engineers.

The second thing I wanted to talk about is that we started to reduce the amount of new features and now we are more focused on bug fixing and stabilization of things that are already in the game.

This doesn't mean we have reached BETA or anything like that. It only means that there's plenty of development time in front of us and it’s better for the community that the game be in a more stable state while we keep developing it.

The first stage of this stabilization period starts now and it means that we will split our focus 50/50 between new features and bug fixing. After a few weeks, once all work-in-progress features are implemented, we will focus 100% on bug fixing. This will be a feature freeze phase when we won’t add any new feature. This will allow us to focus only on bug fixing, testing and scooping forums for bug reports. We don’t plan to include any special performance optimizations in this stage (because that could lead to new bugs), except performance issues that happen due to bugs.

Thank you for reading this.

Update 01.052 – Assembler Cooperation, Volumetric Explosions

Summary
Assemblers can now cooperate with each other (when enabled in terminal) by taking items from other assembler’s queue and help with transferring materials. Volumetric explosions have been also added; things hidden behind armor (or other blocks) will not get destroyed when the armor survives from the explosion. Additionally, players can now help each other with the new “welder option: help others” - welded blocks will not belong automatically to the player who is helping but to the owner of the ship.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YHYYjutkqc

Features
- assembler cooperation
- volumetric explosions
- welder setting: help others
- antenna broadcasting on/off (including character - "O" key)
- default world size is now 20 km (size can still be changed to “unlimited” in world settings)
- arc furnace can now refine more metals

Fixes
- fixed missile explosions right after missile was launched
- fixed issue with objects not removed when leaving the world
- fixed respawning of character crossing the world limits
- fixed broken animations for custom skins
- fixed cases when components were duplicated by collectors
- fixed issue with more screens popping up at once
- fixed auto-save not saving the world regularly
- fixed view change while pasting modded blueprint

- fixed custom respawn ship mods not working
- fixed world corrupted, refinery entity ID replaced
- fixed sensor triggering action on owned block
- fixed DS crashed on loading - steamSDK
- fixed client on DS is not able to join the faction

Update 01.053 - Advanced rotor block, Sound modding

Summary
In this update, we added an advanced rotor block that is able to function as a conveyor system and also implemented the option to mod sounds.

The second important implementation is bug fixing. As Marek Rosa has already written in his latest blog-post, the game is entering into a stabilization period where the amount of new features will be reduced and the focus will be mainly on bug fixing and stabilization of the things that are already in the game. This doesn’t mean that weekly updates will stop coming or that we are not going to add new features any more. This is just a temporary transition period that will last for a few weeks. There are still many big and important features to be added, but first we want to make sure that the game is free of bugs and in a much more stable state before we start implementing them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSBuCd0_gsM

Features
- advanced rotor block
- sound modding

Fixes
- fixed memory leaks in character, raycasts and asteroids
- fixed small ship piston dummies
- fixed render interpolation issues
- fixed crash to desktop when pasting blueprint
- fixed floating object size (components, ore)
- fixed issue with not functional landing gears
