the greater the mind, the easier it is to get mental diseases and depressions. At least that's what I've seen over the years again and again. Applies to me too. With taking a look at what mad professor Josh's able to do, I can only guess what "his mind can do to him". Josh, I'm glad you found your w...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Josh is back! I don't know what he wrote by now. But it's not that important. Show shall go on

That being said, I still did make some headway. Today I wrote a quick context-free grammar parser in LTSL that will be used in the procedural description generator. I've got that all working, but I didn't make as much conceptual progress as I would have liked. There's a lot to think about here. In ...

Just 3 more hours til my birthday! Josh? How about a nice birthday present?

Bought! (Well if Josh will allow us to pay for it finally... )
This is the LT2 graphics I wish for! And of course thanks to Josh we can even play it w/o a graphics card xD
Btw, I love the blueish distance fog from the eve scenes in that video. It adds a lot of atmosphere!

I never realised how awesome the nebulae look. Josh, you should turn your procedural generator into something that can make wallpaper, because I'd love to look at new ones every day. It really is amazing! Sad about the release date but I'm with the others here - better late and properly finished th...

AS long as you keep doing all the daily and monthly logs I'm fine... from month to month one can see the incredible progress of LT. Every sane person can see this and await the release... and every insane... well they might be insane thanks to LT's quality :ghost: Don't try to squeeze every and each...

I'm going to bring this post back from the grave because the new update had me thinking about city lights like those pictures of Earth at night. The planet's in LT are nice to look at on the sunny side but on the dark side they *are* kind of dull. Wouldn't it be cool to have sprawling city lights b...

I just love this month's work. Josh, you did one hell of a job over the last weeks. Zones, zone density and variation look incredible. Begins to really remind me on good old Freelancer. ... release it whenever you think v1 is ready to be released. We'll wait for it. And while we're going to say OMFG...

There's one small addition I'd like to see for the HUD. In the last monthly video Josh flew around alot... And it was somehow annoying that the HUD would always stay in place perfectly! A pilot would be influenced by acceleration/inertia. So it's a bit weird if the HUD always stays statically in pla...

One thing that I'd like to add to this. It seems that letting alien factions meet is one major part of games industry... That's one point allowing for great tension, action, peace and war, change in general. Let's say there's one alienish faction which grows rapidly but is isolated from main game. A...

Macro-Scale AI and events. Well well. That opens up great scenarios. Let's say there's one alienish faction which grows rapidly but is isolated from main game. And then, suddenly, first contact. Wait a bit, then... ... if they are peaceful, call them Bentusi. ... if they are sneaky and indoctrinatin...

Hm I think Josh is missing one point :O
Regular and basic events make a game ok to play...
Irregular and unforeseen events make a game interesting to play...

I like the 2nd one most. Lit from all directions looks a bit boring. No more shadows etc. Would need to be toned down to not kill the 'dark' ambience I think. fresnel / rim lighing combined with normal and light vector would be nice. Then again, a big nebula doesn't have a light vector. Which means ...
