Helium Rain is a realistic space simulation game.
The massive gas giant Nema is your new home. Surrounded by rings of metal and rock, the planet is a near-infinite source of fuel. Helium Rain gives you an empire to build and defend against your competitors. It's up to you to decide if you will trade resources, avoid trouble, or start wars.

Helium Rain is a game where everything is tied together. Ships and stations are built with resources that need to be mined, transported and traded. The steel you sell to a company will become a ship or a gun. The cargo you're blowing up will create a shortage. The blockade you're imposing will raise the prices. Helium Rain simulates a complex economy where all actions have consequences.
We want to build a world that feels real. Your ships have generators, radiators, weapons, engines, cargo bays or life support systems - they all work together. Every thruster on your ship plays a role. Aim for engines to pin down your enemies, or send them spinning around by destroying power stations. Most of the ships have more than thirty individual parts to target. You can customize the most important components - your main engines, attitude control thrusters and weapons. You can choose your colors, emblem, and of course, you can fly every ship in the game.
The physics of the game are highly detailed. Power-hungry components will glow red hot when cooling fails, ships and stations can be pushed or thrown out of place, and gun shells have complex trajectories.
The development is tracked on our public issue tracker. You can see the work being done, the features we want to add or the bugs we know of.
The game's full source code is available on Github under the MIT license. Feel free to read the code to look for interesting stuff for your own game.
The game is built for high-end Windows and Linux computers. We recommend the following:

Is your Mac up to date with the latest version of the Mac operating system? Is it using the version required by a product you want to use with your Mac? Which versions are earlier (older) or later (newer, more recent)? To find out, learn which version is installed now.
If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.
From the Apple menu in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.
These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article will be updated to show the latest version of that macOS.
If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar and Photos.
