Summary0002058: Pronunciation of "Magellan"
DescriptionLove the concept of your game. But if you're going to make a space game, you have to get the pronunciation of "Magellan" correct. In American English, Magellan should be pronounced as a soft "g" (like "j" in the word "jump"), not as a hard g (like "g" in the word "gallop"). Why is this important? As you know, the name Magellan (from famed explorer Ferdinand Magellan) is popular in astronomy and other space-related topics. Wikipedia's entry for "Magellan" in Astronomy alone has four entries:

Magellan (spacecraft), a NASA uncrewed space mission to Venus
Giant Magellan Telescope in Chile
Magellan Telescopes at Las Campanas, Chile
Magellanic Clouds, or Clouds of Magellan

In a game that promises such attention to detail, this is one real-world detail you need to get right, right from the start. Love your work! Thanks

We're English, not American. So we don't pronounce it that way :)
