Moved on to NG+ in Starfield, and I'm still wondering why marketing went with saying, "Starfield is a setting where we want you to feel hope for the future." The writers clearly know and telegraph that its a pretty depressing setting, but who on Earth tried to spin this post-war hellscape as a "hopeful" place?

It's because it's saying there is a future at all. Todd in all his wisdom is just ahead of other developers on this and has his fingers on the pulse of the next generation of gamers

setting up outposts in Starfield is a fiddly pain in the rear end (woe be upon anyone who must have their buildings flush and at exact right angles) but the amount of raw materials you produce is wild

is there any way to reasonably sell all the poo poo your make or is it locked to loading up the cargo hold and going to whatever vendor has a pathetic amount of credits to sell to

you’re stuck selling to vendors with 11k max credits each every 48 hours. Neon has 4 or so vendors in close proximity to one another

you don’t have to bother with your cargo hold. you can carry as much as you want. running out of O2/maxing CO2 will hurt you down to 10% or so of your hp but doesn’t kill you. there’s also a space power to refill your O2 to max

unreal is so much better than unity its not even funny its just that they grt to take a whole third of your profits if youre a small indy studio. that said if youre just a dabbler the whole like, series of tubes version of scripting is pretty fun to play with, its essentially a zachtronics game desguised as an engine.

i used unreal to make a floating, screaming orb and im satisfied

the hard part in dabbling in 3d game design isnt the engine, its making all the assets for it. unreal still has like, a way to carve out rooms but its really expecting you to pull in 3d models and working with blender makes my blood boil

pretty sure when in space you can get out of the pilot seat and leave the ship to EVA, or maybe you need to tcl but you just do the standard zero g six degrees of movement thing.

not sure there’s any point really

you can get up but you cant leave the ship without console commands and obviously theres nothing to do out there

Don't see how you could possibly, as Unity, legally change the terms after the fact when people already made their game and have no way to get users to uninstall it other than to patch a notice in the game that says PLEASE UNINSTALL THIS!! MY FAMILY IS STARVING!!
