Could you build this?
Partial While procedural text and basic mobile games can be assisted by AI, a performant 3D space simulation game with vehicle controls and rendering on Android needs dedicated game engine expertise.
What it would actually take: Built with Godot or Unity targeting Android. The core difficulty lies in 3D orbital/flight physics, procedural planetary generation, level-of-detail (LOD) terrain rendering, and resource optimization on mobile hardware, demanding established game development and shader programming skills.
