Big dreams Kevin, I like it

As far as I'm concerned, the more options the better, provided everything remains manageable! I will keep GOG in mind.

Yes, a long time ago I created a web RPG mapper program that ran great on my site I had at the time and all liked it. I then gave the source to someone else and he started another site poaching players from my site saying "look we have mapper too, come here instead." Of course I could not then take...

Yeah, if I did make OpenLT at some point, it would obviously not be for profit...I would basically just want to see what people could do with the space sim genre if I gave them the starter code for it (i.e., Limit Theory)! I think if people had an easy-to-understand (read: Python :roll: ) implementa...

One thing I wonder is why seamless landings didn't make the cut for the poll list. I guess it's too costly to become the next stretch goal? Yes, we're just talking about the next stretch goal at the moment, and seamless landings is too much for this level! If the time comes, I guess we will have to...

Thanks Atarun, I think you nailed all the answers :D Yes, there's a pretty big conceptual difference between large and infinite. It was a significant challenge to figure out how to generate a universe that is guaranteed to be infinite, yet still has some interesting structure (i.e. connected "region...

Sorry, I guess I must have missed your question in the comments section! For now, LT will remain closed-source. I wasn't aware that closed-source projects had licenses associated with them! I do not currently have any license associated with the LT Engine. I've been toying with the idea of OpenLT, a...

I voted for Procedural Music Generation because music is the one game making thing I am completely hopeless at and if there can be some kind of music creator one day that perhaps does not require skill in that area... Also I would be impressed if you could create music procedurally that sounds dece...

Haven't taken many this week, since I'm home for Thanksgiving and don't have access to my powerful desktop, just my poor little laptop. Nonetheless, I'll post a few here periodically just for fun

Indeed, just for everyone speculating on it, seamless planetary landing is a pretty substantial chunk of coding and would require a re-work of several things. It's certainly possible (like everything!), but it will take time, which is, of course, a bit scarce ;) In particular, it would take the most...

LT love, guys

It's a pretty far cry, but maybe we can talk about other platforms after we secure Mac / Linux!

Please tell us what stretch goal you would most like to see at the next mark! If you'd like to see something added to the list other than multiplayer or seamless planet landings , please let me know! Beautiful Planets I'm not saying that planets aren't going to be interesting in the basic game. But ...

So far, many stretch goals have been mentioned in various ways but the associated pledge totals have not been announced. Including mac/linux support, seamless planet landing and cockpits. I think stretch goals aren't very productive unless the associated goal is mentioned. If the problem with deter...

Here's a suggestion for cities. (I noticed from your video you simply hover the ship above the ground to "land". Not sure if you were purposely mining or that you dont have cities/stations yet?) Procedurally generate a transparent sphere from large triangles. Procedurally generate buildings/citysca...

I agree, Atarun, that is a great idea. I'm sure I (well, "we," I suppose!) will develop many such tricks for compressing the save files while retaining as much universe persistence as possible. Again, it's not worth worrying about until we know exactly how much of a problem it will be. Definitely an...
