Heyaa, QuestionableAntics!! Such a polite individual is most certainly welcome in this community! I hope you stick around and enjoy your stay. Oculus Rift is something many of us here are excited about as well.QuestionableAntics wrote:Hello Limit Theorians! I've been lurking this game since back when it was a Kickstarter. I must say that I have rarely seen a community so completely positive and engaged in its topic and I would like to thank you all for all of the interesting ideas, conversations, and wit displayed~
This game is one of two projects that I follow almost religiously (the other being the development of the Oculus Rift) and with Josh's latest statement (what with the potential modding in of cockpits) and one of his original hopes from back in the Kickstarter (support for the Rift, though I understand this was at no point guaranteed), I was wondering how feasible it would be to integrate support for its usage into a viewpoint from the cockpit.
And, as far as feasibility goes? Absolutely feasible, but it would likely be a cockpit mock-up and not a view from the actual inside of the ship at first, I would assume - which is fine, because that's what many flying simulators do anyway. As so much of the game is in external scripts, it's possible we'll eventually have mods that provide walkable interiors to an extent - but that's up for debate and hard to say for sure. It'll be a mod, though - but we have a very large number of talented programmers here who are just aching to get their hands on LTSL. Cockpits are almost assuredly going to happen.
I just got double ninja'd.
