So a question turned up in the general brain storming doc . Do we consider warp lanes/trade lanes a core feature that should be in? I'd say yes but I wouldn't mind some other in-system fast travel mechanism (as long as the systems are large enough to rquire one :crazy: ). I see no reason not to. Fe...

As for engine/framework/build source from scratch dilemma, im full team C/C++ (my skills are negligible and I have a long way to go before I could contribute meaningfully, so maybe a bit of a dunning kruger opinion here :lol: ) entirely because of how important I think it would be to get the proced...

By the way, seems that Godot might be worth considering as well (as game engine) https://old.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/blp9kk/a_3d_space_shooter_that_i_made_in_a_48hour_game/ Multiplatform, open source, supports 3D, supports low level and high level scripting (C++ and a python-like custom languag...

RE: Custom engine: If Josh couldn't finish his engine in four years despite it being a full-time passion project he got paid for, I don't think we're going to manage to write our own engine as a ramshackle group of coders working on this as a voluntary hobby project in our spare time. Harsh to put ...

Doesn't unity have issues with large size gameworlds? Or did they finally invent doubles in the meantime? The basis of the system is still floating point numbers, but I don't see an issue with precision, really. If 1 unit = 1m, you've got a pretty significant field to play with, and the precision i...

Super interested! My personal list: - Stellaris - SupCom FA - Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion - Interplanetary (Even though I am complete crap at it) - Maybe some XCOM 2 matches, or even an XCOM 2 tourney bracket if more people have the game - Civ 5 - Company of Heroes (1 || 2) - Executive Assault...

I'm incredibly interested in doing so, unfortunately I'm indefinitely tied up with Astraeus.

Is the idea an open source community project, or a closed source development?

BOOOOTSSS AND SKIRRRTTTT

I said it once, I'll say it again. Love the outfit, viv.

Same here. Looks like their homepage still is very much "coming soon". Also interesting: bizapedia.com lists them as Reno-based while their manager is sitting in Florida (well maybe that's cool because there is not much to manage atm). We'll see how this ends (everyone here has proven to posess som...

From what I've heard, he's juggling a job plus attempting to de-spaghettify the code so that it's comprehensible to people not named Josh Parnell. No ETA that I know of, unfortunately.

So easy fix is find another Josh Parnell to read it?

Fuck off no way!

Flakes is fucking stronk now

Also hi Aiha! I seem to miss your waves, I don't see you very often in IRC sadly. Perhaps one day we'll catch eachother lol.

In light of the update pics, I did some modelling recently for a portfolio...

Wasn't able to generate a decent looking space fighter, but here's a boarding drone.

Hey, wait a minute, that's a potato!
