No, never heard of it, but I am downloading the audiobooks now :)

Gravity rush 3

That would mean you would accelerate and hurdle astroids between solar systems, starship troopers style?

I like it it.

“pod”,

A game where you start with one von Neumann machine, and find yourself in a procedural generated solar system. You goal is to learn everything you can from this system and copy yourself then send you and the copy to the next solar system. In time you should find yourself managing a huge amount of pods.

But space isn’t as empty as it seems, some systems are inhabited and will fight you. Preferably those enemies would be procedurally generated too, so that every playthrough is completely unique and weird.

I chuckled at the “do you really want to leave” warning when I was trying to go back 🥲
