Being able to design your own ships is something Josh considers absolutely essential. There will certainly be a ship designer of some sort at release.SpacePioneer wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 3:23 pmSo...can we still design our own ships, or is it completely procedural now? I was looking forward to building my own ships in LT with the procedural parts ;-;

We as humans with mice and keyboards will be able to tweak the ships all we want (and perhaps have more complex ways we can bend and forge the metal to our will and specification), but her algorithms are to teach the computer to do a better job of slapping polygons together to make a spaceworthy (and hopefully, visually appealing) hunk of machinery.SpacePioneer wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 3:23 pmSo...can we still design our own ships, or is it completely procedural now?

eventually they will disperse from their original volume.
so you want floating point errors as a feature? :VFlatfingers wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2017 1:39 pm3. Simulation of gravity from solid objects (or fields) at asteroid size on up. Want. Don't expect to get. Still want.
'I hired my girlfriend, lol'JoshParnell wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2017 4:33 pmThe third desk here at the office has remained unsettlingly-empty since Sean's departure. We can never hope to replace Sean's zest for flow-field-AI mechanics, nor would we dare try. But I'm very pleased and excited to announce that our third desk has found a new occupant: Lindsey Reid, technical artist extraordinaire.
Lindsey comes from an interesting mix of background experiences. Like Adam, she's worked here at the tech park in the past and been part of the game development community here in Baton Rouge, which is how we met in the first place. Some of you have already met her on IRC or the forums -- we've been dating for quite a long time now

If anyone needed a more clear sign that the project is in deep deep trouble. Here it is.
I'd call it the same. Probably easier to get your girlfriend to work for free than your good buddy, but I'm not familiar with the financial norms between dating couples.Cornflakes_91 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2017 12:42 pmwhich is fundamentally different from "i hired a good buddy of mine who can program and can do the art i cant" ... how?

oh noes a one-man-company hiring people that are already known and trusted instead of hiring randos!
I believe you've made this quite clear.ResultsMayDiffer wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2017 12:49 pm... but I'm not familiar with the financial norms between dating couples.
