Have you tried Stack Overflow? Yeah, I don't go there anymore. They have a tendency to tell me that I'm asking a question that has already been asked, when it clearly hasn't been asked before. :ghost: You are not wrong about that. Along with what's been happening to the rest of social media, the pe...

Have you tried Stack Overflow?

I'm trying to think whether -- from the point of view of doing this in 80x86 assembly language -- file transfer is much different if the target device is a USB drive versus any other kind of drive....

I'm good with it, too. Y'all are probably tired of hearing me say, "Game developers need to spend more time at the end integrating all the aesthetics and dynamics and mechanics so that they support and deepen each other." Well, that's probably exactly what CDPR are doing. So... yep. Take that time. ...

CyberPunk 2077's release date has been pushed back from September to November (still 2020, though -- so far).

Apparently there's just So Much Content that CDPR want a couple more months for bugfixes and general balance.

I don't actually know. I haven't been paying much attention. I manage communities, dammit, not programmers!

No one manages programmers.

You can only herd them by telling them that something is too hard for them to program.

Welcome back!

On the one hand, while I've been pretty much a hardline purist about NightDive Studios (NDS) not tampering with the mechanics/gameplay of the original System Shock, one area where I think some improvement is appropriate is the puzzles -- the originals just weren't that interesting. So I give credit ...

The demo is available again (and updated, presumably). It is indeed, and from both GOG and Steam -- but only for a limited time: https://www.gog.com/game/system_shock_demo https://store.steampowered.com/app/482400/System_Shock/ I've played through it -- the NightDive team are really doing a great j...

After months of silence, the new Community Manager for OtherSide Entertainment has acknowledged as true the rumor that Tencent is now involved somehow with System Shock 3. https://forums.otherside-e.com/t/system-shock-3-is-being-published-by-tencent/10313/7 They didn't give any details. In fact, the...

"I'm feeling better!"

I think the main point here -- an appropriate, consistent data model for in-world objects (including planets) -- is good. I would suggest not spending much time at this point considering the particular kinds of data values to include per object type, as probably 90% of that will change by the time a...

I'm taking a dive into Godot, to create a planet, space station and an asteroid field. If I can fly between them, and have a hit box enabled to say "you're close to x", then I'm happy. Hope I don't end up flying into the sun.. :ghost: If there's a sun I can fly into, I will definitely fly into it j...

i'm currently working on exploring a concept for large scale map generation because i made a connection with a graph theoretical concept which would be useful for that >.> Nice -- looking forward to seeing that. Just be sure to document the logic; who knows what the final form of the scripting for ...

Actually a week or two, but still happy about it: we're engaged

Hey, congratulations and best wishes!

And CSE, to your point: of course it would be a mistake to try to base an actual, complete "living world" game on a relatively simple piece of 3D ship flight code. Which is why that's not what's happening. It would also be a mistake for an evolving group of volunteers who have never worked together ...
