In general, I suspect the best design is to have most of the game-mechanical options generally in balance, but with some carefully handcrafted oddball choices that are both consequential and (in most cases) well-signposted. "You can totally go with an Endurance of 1, but this character is likely to...

Coming: when it's ready

So I guess that’s not my Christmas gift 2020.
Well, good things need time

Exactly! No reason to not grab a free game.

CSE - I'm doing great! Writing a corebook for REKT lately.

Cool - you have a quickstarter or equivalent where we can reserve a (soft) copy?

If he kills the forums, I lose five years of the REKT RPG I've been working on. I find that to be a terrifying thought. Fortunately I don't think he's going to... not yet at least. The payment date is somewhere around September, if I remember correctly, and that's come and gone for this year withou...

Hi guys :wave: I actually never really stopped - but I miss the deadlines and the topics as motivating factors. Because I hate the business model where you pay monthly to use a software and my old workflow (with Vue) using a version I owned does not work now in the current version of the OS (so I am...

Elite? I was already getting ready to grab, wanted to try how it compares to my C64 version, but...
bummer, PC only

And btw, hi Talv, hope you are doing good!

And everyone would have flying cars by 2020.

You mean... you don't?

"I think I'd like to go for a walk now!"

A walk sounds nice. I think I'll join you.

Joining up.
But a bit later - it’s raining.

I think there are enough people here who could code up the player-facing capabilities of a LT-like game in something like Godot's scripting language. The hard part -- which I certainly can't do -- is the core framework stuff: event communication, AI, and any other features that must be written in a...

I'm already on there CSE I really liked Escape Velocity: Nova, so I chucked them a few pounds!

Nice - it suceeded!
Upgraded my pledge at the last minute and got a përs - now I have to search my archives to find the files to upgrade my plugins from that time...

For those, like me, that played hours of this simple, but nicely moddable "Elite"-style game (in 2D, though), this is the chance to have it work on modern computers. I spent some hours making plug-ins there, and I hope it becomes reality again. Of course: Kickstarter: everybody here knows it can tur...

A couple of points: 1. XML: of course, this was just to show a structured way. I guess any textual format to input structured data will work (internally, perhaps it could be a SQL database?). 2. My vision, as linked in my first post is to have "some" planets in a limited sector and infinite amount o...

While more talented people are checking how to make the amazingly complex 3D-core of a spaceship game, I was thinking about how to generate a universe randomly that has a certain depth. In the core, this is how to generate the starting position and evolution for the historical LOD as explained here ...

*Shrug* I suspect I've had more fun on this forum than any video game could provide :twisted: I strongly confirm this! Josh owns me nothing. I would like to see him behaving like an adult and at least communicate when he repetitively breaks promises (such as releasing the code) but this is for his ...
