I think to make LT work, there's one more key design idea that ought to go, and that's the will-o-the-wisp of a closed economy, where every object comes from somewhere and is always affordable because both inflation and deflation are generally under control. That is a Hard Problem in a game. Too ma...

If the engine is capable to generate and connect hundreds of star system, (its just triggering procedural creation after all), they could stay in the game. But the area that the AI populates and interacts in should be limited to some core system. For performance reason (too keep the calculations in ...

Played the demo shortly: Nice unique art style. (using complementary colors) Good models, asteroids and space backgrounds. Its funny blowing up all ships around that trade station. They dont seem to mind. The UI is scaled way to small (fonts) The ship controls are a bit unusual. But thats probably j...

Playing around this evening with some flight code:

The con builds bring up a really interesting point, IMO; I wonder whether it was the external deadline that did the trick, or whether it was that Josh allowed himself to produce less-than-perfect code in order to get to that specific goal. Dont forget: the convention builds has much smaller scope, ...

Definitely. Personally, I'd drop the Lua/modding stuff completely: the interface isn't finished, and is a massive distraction from writing either the engine or the game You haven't worked much with complex code have you? If you don't build in this capability from the start it's bloody nightmarish t...

November 30 , 2018!

Would be interesting to have list of elements that work, that work for the most part, that where unfinished, and wich had no implementation yet. It has been always a bit vague of what state the game (or the engine at least) is in. For its usability for a third party, its important to know what parts...

..it would be a hard sale.
One could trade for some of these:

Just the code? Or assets too? If it's just the code then TBH I wouldn't care if it was never released, it would take far too long to build up enough assets to do anything with it, but if it has the assets then it might be worth getting the source, I'm sure I could get it to the point where I can ha...

I agree with the sentiment to not release the source code, at least not for awhile. I'm not a coder, but I know that a lot of people on this forum are. I've seen huge modding projects done by communities (for example, the SkyWind project with Skyrim). I see no reason why the people on this forum co...

I'm the Game Master/Dungeon Master. I make the maps, write the turns, plan the campaigns, and all of that. I made the rules, too. We have a wiki, even.

So as a game master, you are then something like a god?
Or is there some way you can get attacked and removed from power?

I never understood what REKT is. Is that some kind of dungeons and dragons type roleplaying game?
Or is this an actual game game, with a user interface and interactive content?
