Juno New Origins v1.3
Juno: New Origins is a vast, imaginative aerospace sandbox that has evolved far beyond its humble beginnings as a simple rocket simulator. After six years of development, the game now lets you design and test anything from rockets, airplanes, and cars to entire planets and stellar systems. With a mix of hand-crafted and procedural content, it offers a deep and rewarding experience for both beginners and advanced enthusiasts alike.
The core of the game is its fully 3D craft designer, where you can assemble your creations from over 30 parts that you can customize extensively. Whether it's stretching fuel tanks, reshaping wings, or designing bespoke rocket engines with adjustable power cycles, gimbal ranges, fuel types, and nozzle configurations, the design tools allow you complete creative freedom. The engine design even affects flight visuals, showing real-time changes like expanding or contracting exhaust plumes depending on atmospheric pressure.
In Career mode, you get to manage your own aerospace company. Earn money and tech points by completing a diverse array of contracts and milestones. Progress through a tech tree by conquering landmarks and unlock new technologies which help enhance your designs. Detailed tutorials ease you into every aspect of building and operating your vehicles, making the complex physics of rocket propulsion and orbital mechanics accessible to everyone.
An innovative feature of Juno: New Origins is Vizzy, a visual programming language that lets you drag and drop code blocks to automate your craft’s functions. With Vizzy, you can design custom MFD touch screens, log telemetry data, and program complex behaviors, blending learning with play.
Realistic flight dynamics bring your creations to life. The accurate simulation of orbital mechanics—complete with time-warping for faster travel across the solar system—allows for meticulous planning and execution of orbital maneuvers using the Map View. Whether maneuvering around fully 3D, rotating planets with diverse biomes or managing re-entry with heat-induced part damage, every mission feels challenging yet rewarding.
Another highlight is Planet Studio, the in-game tool that lets you create your own planets, moons, stars, and entire systems. Starting from a wide range of templates and moving into an advanced mode laden with modifiers and paintbrush tools, you can generate a seemingly infinite number of unique celestial bodies.
Key Features:
• A comprehensive 3D design toolset for creating rockets, airplanes, cars, and more from customizable, procedural parts.
• An engaging Career mode featuring a tech tree, diverse contracts, milestones, and landmarks to progress your aerospace company.
• A visual programming language (Vizzy) that allows you to automate your crafts, log telemetry, and design custom interfaces.
• Realistic physics and orbital mechanics with features like time-warping, dynamic flight models, drag/lift recalculations, and re-entry effects.
• Planet Studio, an in-game tool for designing planets and entire stellar systems, from templates to advanced customization.
• A robust online community providing access to a huge collection of user-uploaded crafts, sandboxes, planets, and mods.
Overall, Juno: New Origins is a game that masterfully combines deep engineering, creative design, and realistic space simulation. It’s easy to pick up for newcomers, while its technical depth invites advanced players to experiment and refine their designs. If you’ve ever dreamed of building and commanding your own spacefaring fleet, this game offers an almost limitless sandbox where your imaginations can truly take flight.
