Hello, Engineers!

I’ll try to keep today’s blog short. My team and I would like to celebrate the Holidays with all of you, our players, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or any other holiday during this festive season. Christmas is the biggest holiday for the Keen Software House Team and we usually give a lot of presents to our families and friends during this holiday. We also spend time with our loved ones and it’s a time when we slow down after another fantastic year of working on Space Engineers!

GoodAI started 5 years ago with a single mission: “develop general artificial intelligence - as fast as possible - to help humanity and understand the universe.”
Back then we had only a vague idea of what to do, what the requirements of general AI are, and what should be our milestones...

Hello, Engineers! It’s hard to believe, but Space Engineers was released six years ago. It seems like yesterday, but I think the time always runs very fast with the things you love. It would take the entire blog post to mention all names and people who contributed to the success of Space Engineers. But it were not only my colleagues who I’d like to thank, it’s also you, our players and modders, who helped us to shape the game, gave us great ideas and who constantly provided us with feedback.

Hello, Engineers! The last couple of months were busy ones at Keen. We were working on another major update, which we are releasing today. Many of you have participated in our public tests, so you probably know that the update is about the new economy system we are bringing to the game.

I am very excited to announce GoodAI Applied’s most recent project which is using AI to detect and prevent pressure ulcers in hospitals. This is our first major project using AI in the healthcare industry and has great potential.

Hello, Engineers! It’s time for another major update. We have been very busy since the release of Space Engineers from Early Access and the Major Overhaul of Survival update. For our last update, we added Customizable LCD screens, the Replay Tool, Steam Badges, Backgrounds and Trading Cards, Three New Music Tracks for the Deluxe Edition, as well as many bug fixes and optimizations for Space Engineers.

Hello, Engineers! Today is the day for all Space Engineers. Today, we are moving Space Engineers out of Early Access. It was our goal to release the game in the state we consider to fulfill our original vision, including all planned features and core game components. Moreover, the game includes a lot of things that were not planned at the beginning of development.

Hello, Engineers! We’re thrilled to announce that the 0.7 update has arrived and it’s filled to the brim with tons of exciting new features and enhancements! Whether you’re looking for updated block visuals, new blueprint building in survival, improvements to multiplayer or modding tools, there are plenty of fantastic new additions to experience in Medieval Engineers!

Biography

I have always been driven by the need to create — games, AI agents, ideas. That’s why I started Keen Software House: to create games that only existed in my head. After Space Engineers took off, I founded GoodAI to develop AGI, to help humanity and understand the universe.

These days I’m focused on Space Engineers 2, the VRAGE3 engine, AI People, and autonomous agents in general — powering NPCs in our games, or swarms of autonomous and intelligent drones.

It’s all part of my long-term plan: to make civilization stronger, greater, and more resilient.

Our home base is a 17th-century Oranžérie in Prague — but we’re a remote-first, global team of 100+ programmers, artists, designers, and engineers.

I am proudly European , and in the last few years, I’ve come to love South Africa and its people.
