Wonderful news. I admit I was surprised by a new post with such momentous new info in it, so soon after the recent treatise. Josh, let me reiterate what many have said since your last re-emergence post... Less IS more, among your friends here. Of course we'll read a wall of text as easily as a note,...

As in nature, the optimal path is not always the shortest. For a ball it might be shorter to roll right through the mountain ... but it rolls through the valley. Sometimes its just more energy efficient to take the alternate route. ...or just do the math, find the Brachistochrone and get there fast...

The path that I'm on currently is nothing more and nothing less than my interpretation of the optimal solution to the completion of LT given the sum of all of my prior experience working on it. Despite what might look like an endless cycle to those of you on the outside, internally I feel very diff...

This looks fun, reminds me of Transcendence.... which is still a lot of fun! I'm sure everyone here's already played with it years ago. I was playing it again, and still have a lot of fun, with this sprite based exploration space rogue like. Free from Developer :squirrel: (as far as I can tell it's ...

Late to the thread, but very glad to hear from you Josh! I agree with the positive sentiment in the room, we're all glad to hear fun news like this! As personal, or short sighted, as some people/posts can get -- it' easy to see how the forum could become a stressor. But, I'm hopeful that this forum....

In a game like LT, taking into account the lack of Human's to "outsmart" I think you would go back to the basics... Focus on espionage as the control of information that is actionable in some way. Who cares if an armada of 3 ships is in the Gamma quadrant? Unless you can use that information usefull...

Though I'm a bit bummed by the almost immediate shutdown/sideline of the maxrsp's original goal for this thread, it's still been a good discussion. I especially agree with the way Flatfingers thinks regarding planning in a one man operation :) My personal opinion is that this forum community has bec...

Welcome back Josh!

May every moment be sweeter for having looked over the edge... Enjoy LT, run with new fun ideas... but just like running downhill, check your speed if you notice it getting out of control

Salude!

I think I've got it all figured out! :thumbup: Josh left us a cryptic, yet positive, post because when the excitement of LT kicked in he anticipated going dark for a month of dedicated content explosion, and actually being able to get to beta quickly. Since the structure for so much of the game was ...

I love the music, planet rings, stations, menus/text/interface and more. The lane exit particle effect is stellar, love it! I'd like to see something as equally bitch'n for the entrance. One idea for the Entrance effect, variety sake, would be: the node pushes the particles to the entering craft, as...

Sorry to bump an older post but it was referred to recently in the Update 21 thread. The trade route planner for goods would be great, I think the aspect missing from the planner above is Time, each of the trade routes takes time, and time is money. Even if the trade is profitable $ wise, it might t...
