The first and big hope you given after chinese new year LS
At least for me, i hope your engine will be success, that’s a potential and portal to make you able to make any game.
Now you can fly in space, walking on planet and etc, pretty good!
BTW: Watching npcs fight with other is very interesting right? I do that everytime when i make a pop [Zone] and i believe you will feel the fun more than me because you watching that as a really creator. Keep your good job

Thanks Nexose, the new post disappear so fast I didn’t know you responded.
Here is a new video of the loot renderer and loot beam support added into the game over the past few days….
-
Very impressive, LS. It’s coming along so well. Kudos to you!
-
Can’t help but notice you seem to be in need of some nice textures LS, might I recommend you try Genetica.
Download the viewer first and take a look at what’s on offer, the viewer alone contains a lot of very nice royalty free textures, mostly seemless and tileable. If you like what you see then rest assured that the full version which can create new textures is a mighty powerful tool, I can vouch for that.
-
Thanks guys, took about 4 days to build both systems and I am quite pleased with the results.
@ Timmy - I have that program, need to start playing with it. Haven’t figured out how to make height maps with it yet so at this point Im still using Texture Maker 3. Thx for pointing it out though, makes some really nice textures.
-
WOW, the video seems very good!
A small problem: Asteroids at a impossible distance. That’s because of gravity ecffect.
About texture and scene, now i known LS’s style is: Make it like real. But it’s bit hard to do with any graphic engines, especially for a baby-age engine, my recommendation is (Maybe you don’t agree with this) Universe is dark in real, so just forget real at this point, and make scenes fantastic & beautiful.
Few days before im searched game for my new Defy Phone, and i found a game named Galaxy On Fire for iPhone, it’s made for phones so have’t complex model and large texture, but it still looks so good: see this image (I like the Sun). And in your game, it’s supported complex model and large texture, so i think you can make more beautiful scenes simplely.

Nexose - suggestion - rustran.com - much better translation than google translator
I really can’t tell what you are trying to say, this gives a much better translation from Russian to English.
Nice pic btw, haven’t gotten around to the flares yet though…
-
Psst: LS: NexOse is from China, a new continent only recently discoverd by the USA, not an abbreviation for the USSR! heheheheh…
He just says “C’mon, LS - you can make better scenery and planets than that!”
What he doesn’t realise is that you are a one-man band, super progger but not a graphic designer.
<sigh>Keep taking the tablets! :D</sigh>
-
NexOse - your English is much better than my Chinese, so stop hiding!
We can see exactly what you mean, and it is not encouraging to LS.
So - ssshhhh!!!
Don’t say any more, let him do his magic in peace!
I bet you can’t do either better graphics nor program a new engine - so… ssshhhhh!!!
-
It’s fully moddable so you will have a chance to make it look like you want it.
BTW, the asteroid field around the planet is well within a normal diameter, it’s 122 km across, smaller than the diameter of Jupiter (143 km). The asteroid belt is 1.2 billion km across as a size comparison.

Stop feeling you have to justify it LS - carry on, I think it’s great!
PS - I can’t count a million, let alone a billion!
It’s all paper money anyway! :lol: -

I’m still distrusting my photoshop skill, if not i can try to make some starsphere texture for you LS, i don’t know did you like my style (like this)…
-
I’m always lovely - I’m a rabbit!
But watch my claws sometimes.

@ ST - Hehe, as long as he isn’t being a jacka** I don’t mind answering his questions. For someone whom hasn’t ever played the game he has had valid questions, they may be moot but still valid
, almost every last thing in GE is scripted in plain text files making it fully moddable.@Nexose - if you could give the skyspheres a bit more randomness, yes they would be useful. Several systems in the game will be within nebulas and the background should match. If you want to submit content it is best to register on the GE site and apply for a new dev position.

I’m thinking to change my avatar to a crocodile.
Maybe a furry one - that will keep the “facetious” aspect.

And randomness? I’m not clear with this… you mean you need more cloud cluster? That’s not in my original plan, but i can try to add some, but maybe tomorrow or later.
Hey, you know all things i done this for my mod at original, but the time so far i don’t how soon i can done that one, maybe i can make my starsphere open to you so you can get it optionally?
Maybe you think my starsphere not good enough, actually i’m still learning photoshop too, but i know some guys here can did that better than me, if they be willing to support to you by content donation, your game will get more beautiful & fascinating. You really need to think about content donation. As i know an other game named Infinitely is running so happy in this mode.

As i know an other game named Infinitely is running so happy in this mode.Hey Nexose, just noticed the thing you said about Infinity and I had to stop by and clarify things a bit. A wile ago, the dev from Infinity came out with a news release that shocked the entire community. It seems that most, if not all content, made for that game in the past 5 years (which is hundreds of really good models) may not be used in the game because of various reasons (last minute change in model stats requirements and some new “paperwork” changes). So, right now, as it seems, things in Infinity are anything but good and frankly, after 5 years, or more, since this game is in production I really would’ve expected more to be done on it by now … except a tech demo video which frankly is not really that outstanding. To be realistic, Infinity has probably under 10% chances of ever being finished and released as the game it’s advertised to be. The whole project actually revolves around the fact that the dev needs to attract attention on his game engine so he’ll end up on selling it, that’s it, I don’t think he’s ever wanted to actually make the game, it was all just a cover story to attract possible buyers for his Novae (or whatever name) game engine.
Compared to it, GE project is developing far better and faster and it will actually get released at some point in space and time.
Sorry to all Infinity fans here if I trashed the game a bit with my reply but that’s how things are and you can see it also for yourself if you go and read their forums.Going back on-topic now
GE is currently pre-alpha stage so LS is just testing a lot of ideas to see what can actually be integrated in the game and how. Once he’s done with the testing and implementing phase, only then can he really start working on making the game eye-candy. As it stands now, all graphics are as “default” as they can get and all vids posted by him are just to show off possible features of the game, so commenting on the graphics quality right now really has no meaning hehe. Now, good comments would be those about possible features we’d all like to see implemented in the game. I’ve already spammed him on Skype with such suggestions so I’m not gonna spam this topic also … but you can and should do it

I did a little swear few years before, that’s I will not touch any other mod and game until my mod finished. I stoped get any news, stoped play any mod except my etc, so my info is outdated.
About graph, thank you for give this detail to make me know what’s LS doing. And looks i don’t have to complaining about graph… But except that, i don’t know anyother stuff i have to complaining especially he refused my first suggest to use database to save game data.
I have lot’s of idea for a game, something already done by other people in their mod like Cloaking system, Wings system, Lansquenet, Clans, Bounty system. something not yet, like:
About ship
-
Factory ship - A kind of ship can producting synthetic or equipment. It’s need mineral, commodity and/or component as material, pilot must have right ship and right blueprint to product stuffs they want.
-
Exploration ship - A kind of ship can track Optical Signal (Sent by a star far far away form here), and jump to that orientation to exploration it (In server side, it’s will create full new system with random parameter).
-
Colony ship - If Exploration Ship found a new system, A clan can use Colony Ship to colonize that area, and Colony Ship will can be a basic station when the system colonized.
-
Lifter ship - Large ship like transport cannot land on planet because too heavy, if they want to goods in exchange, they will need lifter or go to wait public goods elevator.
-
Repair ship - Use to fix large ship if shipyard or large station not near by.
-
Drones - Use to fight, mining, investigate and surveillance.
About mineral
4 kind of mineral: ore, organism, gas, liquid.
Ore - Various kinds of metal and general mineral.
Organism - Microorganism and bacterium.
Gas - Go ask GMG.
Liquid - Not frozen liquid.-
Ore is basis of mineral, almost all metal can be refine from it.
-
Organism is a kind of biocatalysis, to purify chemical substance form Ore, Liquid and Gas.
And if you have a Plantation Station, some organism can be use to make food, and other goods. If you have a gas station, organism can be use to production advanced gas fuel. -
Gas include oxygen, fuel gas etc. Gas mainly use as synthetic agent, for EXP: Some kind of gas + some kind of liquid can be use to make oxygen.
-
Liquid is a kind of fluid material. Mainly use for solvent in production.
If you don’t have production station, you can feel free to sell it in other people’s/NPC’s station which they gives best price.
I’m paused now, guys, do you like above?
