Chin posted:Interesting, thanks. So for the single seat ships it isn't much different. Just an object in the game world. It depends on how the game engine is designed. In the game you mentioned it appears that you are essentially on moving platforms and the ground is hidden below the ships. Or you could be on the ground and everything else is just floating in space (who can really say). It looks like the ship flight is scripted (pre-determined) too, which gives you a clue to how it is designed. In Icarus, the gravity is pointing down in the same direction for everyone regardless of ship. It seems like it is programmed on a conventional game engine. Roll and pitch are just different ways to translate an object is a 3-D space. If you can steer a car left and right, there is nothing stopping you from having a ship steer left-right/up-down/roll left-right etc. It is still fundamentally moving in relation to the ground. In star citizen you can stand upside down and have everything inside behave the same way, while watching someone orientated differently with all their objects obeying local physics. If you notice, on gameplay videos there is a 'press e to board' prompt and an animation plays. You can think of it as the game loading you on to a different map, and hiding it behind an animation. You also have to keep in mind that one set of physics and one map is a game engine design choice. You can always program it differently, except for most games it is extra work for no reason. Which is why CIG employs a whole studio just to make these sort of changes. A Neurotic Jew posted:thanks, these breakdowns are pretty helpful for me. In some ways it helps me recognize how impressive Alpha 2.0 is, in the sense that the engineers managed to make something that even resembles a rudimentary work-around to what seems like an impossible problem. It's less of a workaround, and more like replacing entire parts of the game engine wholesale. If that is easier then rewriting the whole thing from scratch, who knows. There is a lot of overhead trying to fit your new code into someone else's old code, manage assumptions that may not hold for your new code, and have the new code play nice with the old code. The upside is that you don't have to re-code the stuff you aren't planning to change. Tokamak fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Dec 6, 2015 |

from romping around on the subreddit it looks like the amount of crashing in 2.0h is dire compared to 2.0g.

By the way, if any programmers or unix nerds want to play with these neural networks, see these links: http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/ https://github.com/karpathy/char-rnn http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/creativity/custom-card-creation/612057-generating-magic-cards-using-deep-recurrent-neural

You know.. i bet this thing makes more sense than SC's code whenever Croberts shoves his hand into it when the programmers dont do something he wants. Also. its awesome. "The ship model is a story of demo engineers as well as much of our tasks and expanding the ship and the development of the same major things that followed our stream interiors and engineers with these characters."

reading this crazy thread and derek smarts posts has made it clear that while star citizen is all flash and no substance, Derek's games are all substance and no flash. this isn't very constructive criticism but I do wonder if Derek's games would be more well known (and popular) if they had a bit more graphical polish and more of a general flare. there is a lot of cool poo poo in LOD but it looks so dated that for the average gamer it's probably going to get passed over. which is a shame since star citizen is a piece of garbage but it looks cool so idiots love it

Derek, help! After seeing this: "All aircraft (fighter x12, gunship x7, shuttle x2) have now been unlocked for creation and use. If you’ve seen some of the videos from the early dev stages, now you get to experience it yourself." I logged into LoD to try it out, but I am lost. Where do I find them and how do I use them?
