NEODARK Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Think google earth, but better. I guess better suited for a space sim, but regardless, sounds cool. "..all the planets have realistic dimensions and scales. If you were to land on a planet and fly at low altitude at airplane speed, it'd take you hours before reaching another continent. You'd never see the same hill or some mountain twice. Then, each major planet can have tens of moons. Each solar system can have many planets, all rotating with realistic, dynamic orbits, allowing you to attend an eclipse or a sunset in real time. Finally, the galaxy will contain millions, if not billions, of these solar systems. All different." http://selectivegamers.com/content/view/666/144/ :thumbup::pilotfly: EDIT: The game's actual website: http://www.fl-tw.com/
ED Team Glowing_Amraam Posted June 26, 2006 ED Team Posted June 26, 2006 Wow...that looks impressive.. Wonder if they can pull it off in the end. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJRhtnqA-67pKmQ3A2GsgA ED youtube channel https://www.facebook.com/glowingamraam My facebook page
NEODARK Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 It's possible, as it's all procedural synthesis. So it's all generated on the fly as you go type of deal. Who knows what scale they will have, but if you are interested on this process, check a little vid of a game called "spore" ;) (one high on my list of MUST BUY) http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=spore
Xealot Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Im sure i posted a video to a demonstration of their engine on this forum a while back :/ The community newbie http://winsbydefault.com/pics/dctf1ibxh7.gif Replace this image! It's too big! © Administration (max size: 150pix height, 50kb)
dynamocl Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 If they could attach something like Frontier Elite 2's trading/mission/courier/passenger business model into this engine, they have a sure hit.
