Without quoting, I'll just say I agree with everything mcsven suggested. From the sounds of things, NPCs in LT will be interesting enough that it makes sense that players will want to interact with them as recognized agents. So the interface for mediating non-violent interactions with NPCs needs to ...

Except that Advanced Lawnmower Simulator actually worked.

Well, within limits.

Really, really narrow limits.

But still.

The Sorting Hat clearly has a quota system. Unfair!

(Too Daily Prophet? )

Woodcutter Simulator 2013.

Let me repeat that.

Woodcutter Simulator 2013.

Enjoy. (And be sure to read the comments as well.)

Raph Koster (if you don't know who he is, and you're interested in game design, you should look him up) has posted an article explaining how he analyzes games . This is worth reading in a general game design sense. But now that we're seeing the finish line for Limit Theory this year, when all of the...

For obvious reasons, I very much like this concept. ;) As a general bit of gameplay, I'd love a crafting system built like this. A crafting game where base materials have an effect on the constructed object, and base materials with the same qualities but different amounts of those qualities can be f...

There might be a way for factions (corporations, militaries, or more generally races/species) to have their own procedurally-generated emblem to indicate their allegiances/origins, and then their name could appear just below the emblem. I think I'm saying the same thing with "iconic image" that you...

say an aggressive NPC wanted to increase the ability of its vessel to dish out damage during combat. It should be able to understand that a variant of a plasma cannon that has +20% DPS relative to a standard plasma cannon is more desirable than one that has -13% DPS relative to the standard. It sho...

And not sick in the, "Dude, that was sick!" way, either.

But we persevere!

(Note: I'm actually well. But that's because I try to avoid the walking incubators of plague known as "people.")

Are aliens part of the game? I've not seen it written anywhere - I'd be interested to get the official word. I've asked that question. The only answer thus far: <silence>. :shh: :D Also, given the "no faces" constraint, I was figuring that a procedurally generated iconic image is a reasonable answe...

Well, this sounds intriguing: Against The Wall is an in-developnent platforming/exploration game consisting of a procedurally generated "infinite vertical surface composed of irregularly-sized white bricks. Entire civilizations and ecosystems cling for survival on the side of The Wall, everyone and ...

Not at all! I enjoyed it.

I'm also very impressed with your work (as shown on your current website) -- your command of lighting is wonderful.

what if instead of having a lab on your ship where you can visualise the universe, you have a lab that lets you create them. Imagine creating and watching the procedural generation of a universe in Limit Theory within a procedurally generated universe in Limit Theory. :shock: :ghost: This is probab...

As others have said, welcome!

I must ask, though:

Please tell me this was intentional.

(Thanks for the other threads, Just_Ice and Thymine!) Interesting, I was just looking at this one today, as mentioned in the dev log ("dialogue interface"). I noticed that. :) Maybe this is one of those things that comes up naturally based on your progress so far on AI -- now that NPCs are close to ...
