Derek I watched your video and underneath the veil of time degraded quality, looks to be a retardedly in-depth game that appeals to spergs near and far.

I liked x3 because poo poo was in-depth and hard, and offered a level of goodness not addressed by most games.

Your game seems to address the same playerbase. Would you ever plan to make a new uc in the style of x3? I'd play that.

Nah, he was good at archering other artist's styles and could draw buildings and landscapes pretty well but wasn't that good with people or other living things. He was not particularly talented and that's why he failed the admission to art academy twice.

That's the best thing about actual art, it's truely subjective and no one can truely lay claim to a 'style' as it would be like accusing people of stealing walking styles from others, all are different in degrees of subtlety.

In all honesty, good art cannot be taught, it can only be demonstrated. :)

Nope, some artists have distinctive styles that they can truely call their own. Nobody is ever gonna confuse Botero with anybody else and trying to archer his style and pass it as your own would get detected in a nanosecond.

(And art can be taught, otherwise there would not be art schools).

My favorite moon is Enceladus, Saturn's sixth-largest moon. Its ice covering makes it one of the most reflective bodies in our solar system, and beneath the thick ice crust there is a massive liquid water ocean that some scientists believe poses our best chance of finding life on another planet. Near Enceladus's Southern pole, massive cryovolcanoes shoot ice and water into space and that helps make up Saturn's rings. I highly recommend you use the word cryovolcano today in some capacity, because it owns.



What do the Cassini probe and the tickler in black have in common?

They both explored icy bodies that will remain unknown to all but a handful of nerds.

Many artists 'archer' or 'adopt' other styles as that's just the way they enjoy making their own art, Botero would've looked to others for inspiration before he developed his particular, almost cartoony methods. Most times it's often not a deliberate attempt at style theft as such and no claim to ownership of said style is made, if you can tell a genuine named piece from something similar then there are enough differences to allow both to exist and be judged on their own merits. Copying is not the same as having a similar style, one is theft and the other is being like-minded.

Art schools can only nurture someone who already has artisic inclination, they cannot teach talent where there is none to begin with imho.

I'll agree to disagree though since I know art stuff can be one of those things that can drag on for too long. :)

I've been playing Divinity 2, I really like the game so far (especially the narrator) but it sure doesn't like me back; I've died about 5 times so far just from being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In fact, one time early on I just went down a passage shortly after the shipwreck and got killed by a cannibal :(.

I'm starting to think that starting as a conjurer was a bad idea.

I loved the X3 games. Until they went to poo poo. They have a new one coming out though. I'm looking forward to that.

I don't plan on making another massive BC/UC game from scratch because it's a LOT of money. Which is why I lol at those guys making Hellion, Battlespace Infinity and Dual Universe, thinking they could ever make those games with the budgets they planned. I'm too old for that poo poo, and I'm semi retired. Read this dev update about that.

That's one of the reasons that I designed and started working on Line Of Defense. I wanted a change of pace, plus the industry has moved on from my type of games.

So with UC: The Lyrius Conflict, it's basically a new coat of paint, while retaining all the underlying tech that made the BC/UC great and my all-time bestsellers.

Hi tom5598
You're right that the networking side of things doesn't get the spotlight very often - that's just the nature of the work really.
....
I think sometimes this lack of visibility can be misinterpreted as secrecy or a lack of progress, but neither of those is the case, and pretty much everything we do is shown in the production schedule.
The only things that aren't in there are those that can't easily be scheduled like bug fixing. Also sometimes we need to change priorities and the schedule can lag behind a bit.

To give you an update on the specific technologies you asked about :
Server meshing - not started yet. Our plan was always to make the single-server experience better and more optimized first.
Server meshing is going to build on the technologies we're creating for single servers, so these all need to be in place before we can start.
Also it is going to be challenging and complex work that will need the focus of the whole network programming team, so once we start work on it we don't want to be fighting a war on two fronts.

Considering the uncertainty involved when Chris Roberts' Fidelity Engine tries to move a wheel across a ramp I'd say that everything from entanglement to random interference is already modelled pretty well.

They haven't touched the networking in 2 years, there has been no mention of it in dev updates or anywhere else. People have been snooping what the Fidelity Engine is actually sending and receiving from the servers for ages now and it isn't pretty. Also I'd love to know who their 'networking team' is, as far as I can see they don't have one.

Nah, it's some form of dynamic instancing where they can partition a region of space and assign it to a new server. How it is going to work is completely up in the air because like the CIG employee said, they haven't even started on it yet and are working off Croberts imagination.
