Everybody’s favourite scientist, Neil deGrasse Tyson is making a video game.<\/p>\n

Neil deGrasse Tyson Presents: Space Odyssey, is an educational title developed to encourage players to explore space and science, reports Digital Trends<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Although in early development, it\u2019s being designed as a building game. Space Odyssey asks players to create their own galaxies.”<\/div>\n
\n

“While there are elements of Minecraft and Civilization baked into the experience, Mark Murphy, co-creator and developer of the game from Whatnot Entertainment, said it\u2019s something unique.”<\/p>\n

Tyson is not the only big name attached to the project either.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“Players can also explore galaxies created by other players, including prominent scientists and fictional world-builders like Tyson, Bill Nye, George R.R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, and Peter Beagle.”<\/p>\n

\n
It looks\u00a0to be more like Universe Sandbox<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0than No Man’s Sky but either way, we can’t wait.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
