I would like to see more people play your masterpieces, you dare to do the unthinkable in the conventional gaming industry, dare I say that Battlecruiser was better then Spore, hell – it’s still is!

But your designs have a deadly flaw, you need an artist that will create an immersive environment for your universe to exist in.
My main interest in my professional life is architecture and I have come to know that the illusions and feel of the space that I may be working on are not less important than the constructional steel “I” profiles that are holding the whole thing.

What I say comes from a fusion of my knowledge and affection to both fields and I hope that you will take to heart that point, because your work deserve more credit then it is getting now.

Also, I would like to offer to help on that field, if you care to develop that area of your games.

Best regards, Tuxu.

When you get close to your teammates they start pointing up and down rapidly for no reason. I’d call that a bug.

Also, while Mr. Smart has said that it’s a feature, the vehicle collisions are really ridiculous. Real vehicles don’t behave like this in real life:

Finally, the weapons somehow don’t look like 3D models. They also make an awkward sliding motion when you move which may confirm my suspicion.

So much for immersion.

I hope you realise you’re kind of flying the flag for people who want to work under a different implicit contract in life than the one that we are traditionally expected to be bound by. Not all of us want to be permies.

So you have to succeed. By succeeding you put your method of living out there and directly advance the cause of financial freedom in the world.

One day we will celebrate AAW as responsible for the emancipation of the working classes.

your game

it is terrible

1) Why there are NO 3d cockpits for vechicles with full physics based camera viewpoints attached to the body of the character that drives the vechicle ? 2d cockpits make the game very dated..

Also why there are no fully animater characters while in 1st/3d person ? Nowdays almost every single game has more complex animations while in 1st or 3rs person view (For example try fear 1/2 or far cry 2,crysis,mirrors edge etc..

2) Why the terrain is so flat ? I know it is supposed to be in desert but even in desert there are sanddunes and variances in elevation…In the game the terrain is completely flat….I can understand it may need a lot of reworking on the engine but i believe its something really important because in the end even if you render the whole planet if it looks so flat it will be very boring for the players…

3) And my third question has to do with the emptyness of the world…You said in the previous post you have licenced
speedtree.Thas was a good decition but why you dont use it ?If you want to give players a lush and interesting environment to play you must fully incorporate speedtree and before releasing the game.

4) You can always improve on a game but first impressions are what make or break a game…And for this is very important to add the features i am speaking about like the full 3d cockpits and characters animations/speedtree and elevation changes on the world…

5) Also on a minor note yet still important for the success of the game are things like music and a well though,fully scripted and animated and voiced over story

I hope i get a sincere answear on the above questions

Luckily you addressed that problem for everyone by not having scenery and using graphics from xwing vs. tie fighter

You could end up feeling a little
overwhelmed once you first gaze
upon all the little intricacies that make this game amazing.

Do your best to push past the initial learning curve,
especially as the game gets so
rewarding so soon. The landscapes are so
exceptionally huge also, Derek I just want to
kneel before you! :-)
