And he doesn't have nothing, the work he's done didn't evaporate because he didn't make a video in a year.
Yeah, knowing a little about the technical stuff from the last posts of his.
The basic thing is that he decided that the core of the game wasn't running fast enough, so stripped out the engine, upgraded it into a more modular format, and reimplemented LTSL as Python.
From what I have gleaned from his posts, LT now runs significantly faster, and is significantly easier to mould into being.
Reimplementation of everything will take some time, but one done we will have
*easy* access as modders to everything the game offers.
Want to add space nazis? no problem.
Want to make spacecows? no problem.
Want to make each system the interior of a dyson sphere? no problem.
Want to turn the game into a first person shooter? no problem.
Want to turn the game into Dwarf Fortress? no problem.
