"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 ...

Its not too much additional work, compared to getting used to another engine that is not as well know by users. I can't imagine the decision to use godot having been made by majority vote, seeing as nobody here uses it. I am just wondering if silently moving part of the discussion to a new platform...

In short: Yes, I have it. Am I allowed to spread it around? Is it ethical in any sense of the word? Would Josh be pissed? I have really no idea about any of these three questions. I feel pretty strongly that there are very clear answers to those questions, and they are "no," "no," and "yes." We don...

I would love to be involved, but my time is very limited. My thoughts exactly. I do have quite some experience with programming (used to earn my keep with this skill as a student) and can make some 3D assets. Somperhaps if there is some small, non urgent tasks to be done, they could be delegated to...

edit: Actually, I wonder if I could post Josh's internal list here now, seeing as it's been over a year since Josh announced he was done with LT . I can't see that it'd do any harm. It had links to things and Josh's thoughts on what was done/how much, what he did and didn't want to add, and what he...

That is really nice. One could just wonder why those aliens put so many lights to get so few lighting :) Indeed. :lol: But I had a certain tone I was going for. Did you make a model of Chtulu? Nope. I actually got all the graffiti off a Google stock image search. I can't really draw at all. That on...

Har, thanks :twisted: A little more tweaking of the displacement mapping on the lights and it's a bit more sensible. This is turning very good! How do you choose the lighted regions? With a displacement similar to continents? Another topic entirely: I made this for REKT: That is really nice. One co...

I am a bit busy these days, so not tried much but I must say until now I am not very successful. Large part of the problem is that I cannot have nice previews like Silver showed, my previews in the equation editor of Vue are about 5-10mm square only so it is impossible to see anything - the only way...

If I may Sure, this is the main reason to post! Thanks for taking the time to comment!! , the snow is too thick/wide, and WAY too bright. Unless you are intending those blotches as city lights (in which case you want a soft yellow/orange instead, and for them to be far noisier) Snow tipped mountain...
