Having made a similar game over the last decade [1], i suspect that if NMS didn't have all the marketing and polish, no one would have known what to do in it. The most asked question about Spaceway i got is what to do in this infinite universe with no goals and challenges. Most feature requests and feedback were along the lines of making this or that gameplay mechanics or story that would use up a few stars in one galaxy, and leave the remaining quadrillions of them unused. I've thought for years about what to make of it, but there is simply no ideas for an infinite world better than what NMS did - explore and consume. Might just be a genre failure.
