You have to press X in between Pusher's blinks. Early playtesting indicates the game will be impossible.

Gravity_Storm posted:It's really good - like a super version of Evochron Mercenary which I also loved and sank a lot of time into. The dev releases improvement patches on a daily basis and actually cares about making a decent game. ah heck I knew it looked good. I love mining in Elite and it looks like Evochron Legacy has a similar system. I've been watching steamgifts like a hawk lately to see if it pops up though it's sort of so niche I doubt it...

Well my warlock was afraid of bathing and routinely burrowed into piles of dismembered corpses in search of loot, so telepathy was really the only only way to interact with other people.

grimcreaper posted:Thats looking pretty good! If you put it on Steam Greenlight you could probably outsell Line of Defense at this point. Thanks man! At this point I'm mainly working towards "finding the fun" and adding/tweaking systems that I think will be cool. Basically the idea is Rocket League meets Twisted Metal in space. The real test will be implementing multiplayer and watching goons ram into each other. I estimate that task will be the most difficult one I'll have to tackle, and it's rapidly approaching. As for Steam and/or distribution, once I can assert with data and player feedback that the game has legs, I'll start moving on the business-y side of the plan, which sounds loving tedious and awful. As for Derek, he's made and released games basically on his own, and doesn't have to work a soulcrushing day job, so I look at his life with envy

Daztek posted:In the PCGamer Weekender thing someone asked how many hours the campaign would be and they said they were still figuring that out, something about balancing the difficulty of the space battles, but it'll be long! Not 6 hours! Balancing the difficulty of space battles equates to length of game? Erm... the only way I can imagine something being more difficult if it takes longer is if the difficulty is the fight against boredom.

The trick being it wasn't quite a sun anymore, but neutronium with a thin coating of diamond on top. And it developed sentience. And learned other tricks. Was it something by Alastair Reynolds maybe?

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:There's just so much wrong about "landing" on gas giants I suggest we all drop it Hey, for being big balls of magnetically (not entirely) contained plasma, G-stars have a surprisingly well-defined surface, if I remember correctly. Tijuana Bibliophile posted:
Speaking of… …neutron stars in E:D are really scary. It's just a tiny dot with some lensing around it, and there's just no way of judging how close you are to suddenly have your ship boil and explode. At least with black holes, the lensing is strong enough to give you a sense of movement, but that tiny, single, neutron-star dot is just so disconcerting.

You're missing huge chunks of information there. The star, which was not a star anymore, straight up digitalized the characters, and ran them as a simulation on its own surface. Not in the sense of human-shaped lumps walking over the surface. But in the sense of them being encoded, and running as a real-time sim on the surface substrate.

Lots of "science fiction" stuff seem to conform to the middle age notion that the universe is made for man and that the stuff up there should be friendly and nice to us. In reality we've not found a single place outside of the Earth's troposphere that would tolerate human existence for more than seconds. If you wanna go "hard" scifi you do things like generation ships and excavated asteroids. If alien species met they would probably not have anything like the same level of technology to enable long wars of attrition It's fine to do science fantasy stuff, really. But you have to have some internal logic to make it remotely believable - when you have things like hyperspace flight and artificial gravity you have to sacrifice the sweaty spacemen lugging steel beams and refueling their ships manually. You don't get to have both at the same time. I'd think the Citizens would be all about this with their talk of immersion and w/e but that poo poo goes way overboard whenever Chris googles "cool sciense fiction conceps". As an actual autist that stuff's exhausting to me
